About

We are a group of gender-critical midwives, mothers, and birth workers deeply troubled by the present cultural trend of enforcing socially-constructed sex-role stereotypes as the primary definitions of female and male. While we believe all people’s dignity, civil rights and safety should be supported regardless of their gender identity or manner of self-expression, we understand humans as a sexually dimorphic species that conceive and give birth through the biological functions of males and females, not through gender identity.   We understand that a “woman” is a mature human female and that only females are capable of conceiving, gestating, and birthing children. Because we stand in support of females, fully acknowledging their unique experiences, capacities and vulnerabilities, we stand in resistance to the cultural, legal, and medical erasure of biological females and their lived reality.
