Yesterday I was talking with my grandma about children and though I cannot remember the actual topic we were talking about, around the subject of children, I told her that when I had kids I would do so differently. To which she automatically replied, “Children? How will you have children if you are a lesbian?” and when I told her that my plan was to have my partner have my egg and take donated sperm, she gave me a shocked look and muttered something along the lines of “oh my, you youths” or something along those lines ( like I said a mind like sieve) …
I do not know why but somehow I am still pondering over this and I think I always will.
Why would me being a lesbian mean that I would not wish for a family of my own like everyone else, why would it automatically rule all of this out? Granted that it has been only 40years since LGBT awareness began and started being accepted but still hearing such opinions still put me on edge.
And yes I already know I’m in for a hell of debate trying to convince my future partner to agree to go through pregnancy whilst I just painfully observe from the extremely close side-lines.
My thought process just went blank so I shall stop for today I think.
