Thank you for this kind reflection on your second pregnancy, mum bloggers and Heather and her blog. I’ve never heard of Heather before. I like your last line, that’s a good philosophy to hold on to, I reckon

Thank you for this. So much resonates. Yes to the contrast between (assumed) insights and reactions, and how useful it can be when we notice them. It feels like the end of an era.

Oh goodness me, I thought for a second you were responding to me and I was so confused! But I think you are responding to the commenter after me?

I’ve read you for many years. More than I did Dooce. But I’ve changed. I cannot understand how feminists and the left—groups I was always a part of—have so thoroughly lost their minds. Recoiling in horror that girls are having their healthy breasts surgically removed is what made me see Dooce as the ultimate truth-teller and she paid dearly. She truly understood that we are living through a mass psychosis and medical sandal. I’m so glad she posted THAT post. One day you will realize it’s not ok to help children hate themselves, especially gay or autistic ones. No child is born in the wrong body.
