Kass - Week 2 - "No Babes"
Week 2.
Shimelle’s prompt really resonated with me this week because I too am a non-meat eater. No political message in me either – I had a cancer as a child and it affected my tolerance of many foods, one of which was meat. I still dont tolerate meat so I dont eat it. But man do I hate having to EXPLAIN that to people and people saying (including my mother) “why dont you just try it?”. I dont eat meat. That is not going to change!
My other gripe is that I am not having children. Again for health reasons but I really resent that when I say “I’m not having children” people often respond with “you’ll change your mind”. UM, no I wont. I hate that I have to often explain my health history to people and I still get comebacks like “what about IVF/adoption/medical treatments?”. Um, NO. I’m just not having children. Dont get me wrong, I love kids, but I dont want any. This medical “affliction” just gives me a good excuse. I am still a worthy human being despite not reproducing!!
THESE are things that will not change!
TFL!
