Between 2023 and 2024, there’s an
outrage over surrogacy. Curious since surrogacy has been going on since the
legal surrogacy that started in 1976. Though surrogacy had been going on for
possibly thousands of years. Weirdly, you have the religious far right
and the radical feminists screaming about surrogacy, especially when it comes
to gay men.
Here’s the thing; It’s ALWAYS gay
men that they have a problem with. They never post pictures or say anything
about lesbians or straight couples who can’t have children. And especially
since straight people make up the majority of surrogacies.
“They’re renting wombs, exploiting
women, ripping babies from their mothers…”
They have no clue how surrogacy
works. The women who agree to surrogacy are not being exploited, used as wombs
for rent nor was their baby being “ripped away” from her. When it comes to using
the agency, both the mother and the couple make arrangements and agreements.
No one is forcing women to
surrogate, no one is ripping babies from mothers, and no one is exploiting
women.
“they’re trafficking babies.”
Prove it.
Whether it’s surrogacy or adoption, there are always those who exploit the system and abuse the children in their
care. However, the thing about surrogacy and adoption is that there are legal
processes in place to try and prevent potential abuse and neglect of children
who are being with a new family. It’s not foolproof, but people who do
surrogacy are not trying to trafficked children. Same for foster care and
adoption agencies. The only reason people say this is because they are trying to
dehumanize gay men who want to be dads.
“They’re depriving the child of a
mother!”
Newsflash: many children are
without mothers. Whether it is a mother who died in childbirth, died in
other ways, she abandoned the child, or has to give up custody due to negligence
or drugs or something that endangers the children, some mothers abuse their children.
Not every woman with a child is
a good mother, that’s a terrible misconception that she would be a wonderful
mother. Again, some mothers abuse or abandon their children, and many
more.
What about single fathers? Does
anyone have an issue with a straight single dad raising a child or more? I
doubt it. It’s only the gay men they have an issue with.
“There was a gay couple that did
child porn and prostitute their adopted sons!”
I feel for these children, and i
would want these sick monsters to get the death penalty. I feel the same when
it comes to any straight parent, mothers or fathers.
Note that they never say a word
about any straight parents who do child porn, or prostitute their children, or
sexually assault their children. Curious, because it was never about the
wellbeing of a child, it’s all about their homophobia and wanting to paint gay
men as pedophiles.
“Gay men commit pedophilia more
than straights.”
No, it’s actually the other way
around. Majority of straights commit pedophilia far more than straights. I
remember an argument I had with someone on twitter who tried to say that if
there are same amount of gay men as there are straights, then gays would have
been committing more pedophilia than straights.
That’s making up statistics and far
from reality. They’re just trying to justify their homophobia. And note that
they never, ever talk about female pedophiles which happens a lot more often
than anyone wants to admit.
This article I read says it a lot better than I did about this.
