I just started my profile to talk about this from my own perspective. Me being raised by a lesbian couple as a child from anonimous donor in the late 70's. As far as they know one of the first in the world. I was interviewed at 10years old on english and american radio stations to explain how different that was, which for me of course it wasn't. I am surprised sometimes how this topic is still so prejudiced 40 years later, yet here we are. Back then i was the news of the day. Now my own hypothesis and questions around the theme has made me an outlaw in donor groups that say they are meant for ALL donor concieved children. I feel only one discourse overrules and just one narrative is being told. I am being silenced like i am no longer one of them.
