I don't own anybody anything. Nothing! Not gratitude, an explanation, my silence, an apology, any context, further clarification, love, humility, platitudes, tears, civility or courtesy. Nothing! Conversely, I am owed everything for what I have endured since conception. The end.

Thank you judge! Absolutely disgusting.

“More regulations will give DCP special privileges that non-DCP don’t have” No. Lack of regulation imposes barriers that non-DCP don’t have. We want to not be intentionally blocked from knowing our own relatives, health history, and origins.

Most people don’t have contracts signed by other people before they exist to dictate what information they’ll be able to access about themselves and when. We would like to end the unnecessary robbing of choice that other people take for granted.

'The egg and sperm shortage in Australia has been partly blamed on laws and DNA testing that increasingly allows donor-conceived children to know the identity of the donor used in their conception, but also surging demand among “solo mums by choice” and same-sex couples.' A 🧵

There is no 'egg and sperm shortage' unless you subscribe to the theory that everyone who has ever wanted someone else's DNA should automatically get it. We don't do that for blood. Or kidneys. I don't know why it's different for egg and sperm.

Can relate! #dcvoices

Instead of telling adopted and displaced people how they should feel about a lived experience you have never had, imagine how angry you would be to be sold and bought and separated from your family. #adopteetwitter #adopteevoices #SuicidePrevention

Donor Conceived People do to! End anonymity!

Dan Andrews Please make sure that donor conceived people are at the centre of this and that their rights are those primarily being protected. Parents of donor conceived people have vested interests -- all policy and ethics should be cleared by those with lived experience, not their parents.

I'm so tired of debating why I should be able to know my full identity and who my siblings are. I met my little sister 3 months ago and she's been living with me ever since. I feel like I've gained a small piece of myself back. How can anyone condemn that? #donorconceived

“Fight the real enemy”- Sinead O’Connor 🕊️ 🤍

DeLancey Giannini @adopteecrossing No. Adoption at its core is cruel. No one should have to forgo their entire family and true identity in order to receive care. My adoption was considered a ‘good one’ and it left me profoundly anxious, depressed, and unable to function normally. Adoption sucks.

Preach! We were never asked if we agreed to have half our identity severed

Momentous day in South Australian Parliament on 19 March 2024, as South Australia became only the second jurisdiction in the world (behind Victoria), to grant donor-conceived access to identifying information on their biological family (the donor) retrospectively. #DonorConceived

CrowdStrike effectively bricked windows, Mac and Linux today. Windows machines won’t boot, and Mac and Linux work is abandoned because all their users are on twitter making memes. Incredible work.

No Jumper So the song about gold diggers was him talking about himself

Surrogacy violates 2 sets of rights: 👩 The woman who is used 👶 The child who is taken This isn’t “love” — it’s a market. No one should be for sale. #AbolishSurrogacy #WomensRights #ChildNotCommodity
