I was tempted to dismiss the post as another frivolous piece of content on the internet, since WalletHub is hardly the definitive resource on women's issues. But it reflects a broader cultural misconception about what constitutes a "good life" for women—one that doesn't account for housing, reproductive rights, or even job stability.
"We have already seen a State Department under President Trump that has stayed silent and refused to take necessary steps to combat and condemn the growing epidemic of anti-LGBTQ ... and now that department will be helmed by someone with an extensive anti-LGBTQ record."
We need to reconsider the way we frame motherhood and gender roles so those who choose not to or who cannot become pregnant can live without shame or stigma.
Rep. Jeanine Notter's description fits a pattern of anti-choice legislators describing fetuses as having the features and abilities of fully formed people.
If the Trump administration gets its way, doctors will be able to claim a religious or a more nebulous moral objection as an excuse to deny care, gender-affirming or otherwise, to transgender patients.
