Based on the attacks I’ve had today, the ‘gender critics’ are moving onto same-sex couples starting families through surrogacy. It’s exhausting and disgusting. Why are people so vile?

There's so much nonsense in this thread. Too many to mention but apparently one of the reasons why we shouldn't have children through surrogacy is because neither my husband or I can breastfeed

What I also love is they keep saying it should be "illegal" for intended parents to "rent a womb" from an "adult female". Commercial surrogacy is illegal in the UK. It has been since 1985 with the Surrogacy Arrangement Act.

Also, what a surprise, some of the hate I'm getting on Twitter appears to come from this @MumsnetTowers thread https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/4030624-Benjamin-Cohen-moaning-about-surrogacy.

@Justine_Roberts I'm interested in what you think about the sexism and homophobia on your platform such as that now being directed at me and my husband?

This is also astonishing. Apparently, I should have dated a trans man if I wanted to start a family.

As an update, the thread attacking me and my husband has actually been deleted by @MumsnetTowers

And it’s back, new thread attacking us on @MumsnetTowers. They really need to get a life. https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/4031094-Benjamin-Cohen-Pink-News-editor-knows-what-a-woman-is-when-the-NHS-won-t-support-him-using-one-for-surrogacy
