Commitment to Women's Health

 

For decades, my singular focus as a midwife was advocating for the rights of women and families throughout pregnancy and childbirth. I worked to ensure informed consent, respectful maternity care, and the protection of women's autonomy during one of the most vulnerable and transformative periods of their lives. My commitment was rooted in safeguarding the physical and emotional realities of pregnancy and birth, and in making sure women's voices were centered in every decision that affected them.

New Challenges

​

Over time, however, I became aware of what I perceived as a new challenge to women's autonomy—trans ideology. I felt it began to overshadow the specific needs and protections of women. As debates around gender identity grew more prominent in healthcare policy and professional circles, I found myself increasingly concerned about how language, data collection, and service provision were changing. In my view, the shift away from sex-specific terminology risked obscuring the material realities of pregnancy and childbirth, realities that only female bodies experience.

​

Turning Point

When I publicly stated what I considered a biological fact—"Only women give birth"—I did not anticipate the intensity of the response. I faced professional criticism, social backlash, and even threats. What had long felt like uncontroversial advocacy for women's health suddenly became framed as hostile or exclusionary. For me, this marked a profound turning point: the space I had dedicated my career to protecting women became a site of ideological conflict, and I understood that this conflict extended to every aspect of women's lives.​

​

Regardless of where others stand in this debate, my motivation has remained consistent. I continue to advocate for clarity in language, sex-based data in childbirth, women-only spaces, and the protections that acknowledge the embodied realities of pregnancy, childbirth, and women worldwide.

Creative Outlet

 

​My solution for addressing what I saw as growing confusion around sex-based language and women’s rights was to channel my advocacy into a creative outlet. Rather than remaining solely in debate, I chose to express my perspective through design, powerful messaging, and merchandise that centers women’s sex-based rights. This creative platform allows me to articulate my views clearly and constructively, while continuing my long-standing commitment to supporting women and safeguarding the legal and social protections grounded in biological reality.

Be XX Copyrighted

 

To be “XX Copyrighted” is to slam the brakes on the noise and reclaim who you are—wholly and unapologetically. It is an experience and an act of ownership: a reclamation of yourself as an adult human female and the moment you finally say, "enough."

 

Dont just say it. Wear it! Display it!
