Alex Cooper just announced that she is expecting her first baby with her husband Matt Kaplan, and it set the internet ablaze for a myriad of reasons. People on the right are obviously very angry and they’re calling her out for being a hypocrite and intentionally leading women astray. But I don’t know if it’s that simple, and I’m kind of burned out by the outrage.

my first thought when I heard this news was, wonderful for her! As someone who has been told my whole life about the cautions about having my own child traditionally (partial chromosomal 22 deletion issues) it has taken me a long time to have a reaction like this about this topic. Being more open about this condition has helped a lot. Prior to July 16, 2023 I did not talk about this condition in detail. If I’m ever in the situation I would want it to be via surrogate, especially as I’m menopausal is anyway but, even before that it was a thing I thought about at times. I’m hoping this softens the tone of her stuff a bit about motherhood in general. It’s hard to fully describe my experience with this topic cuz so many will never quite fully understand it anyway. When you have a condition like I do, the general thing society conveys is it’s selfish to have a kid of your own. Just thinking out loud a bit. 🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿in both my tropical and sidereal charts, it does show about maternal instincts naturally. It has taken me a minute to process this due to my own stuff I just mentioned. I’m thankful I have been working on stuff about this condition my whole life even if a lot of that was extremely privately. It’s probably given me a lot more mental intelligence than a lot out there 🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿
I did think about this a lot. If I ever had a daughter, I would have named her Rose. When I was going through thinking about this a lot, I would imagine my thoughts going to her about these issues. Hard to fully explain that one unless you’ve lived it. Maybe it’s why I’m not so shy to talk about menopause and connecting it to my feminine energy. It helped with closure about a lot actually and is didn’t happen much. It was a form of mental journaling. 🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿if I wax gonna be a mom ever, I think I would be a bit better of a boy mom but, I tend to do pretty well with either. Venus in Aries in the fourth house in tropical astrology. In sidereal astrology I’m Venus in Pisces in the fifth house. 🧿🧿🧿🧿
