if i see one more “she wanted a private life why is meghan markle talking about a private matter in essays?? huh??”

1) miscarriage is not a private secret, that stigma is damaging, harmful, and antiquated
2) the awareness she is raising is vital
3) you’re probably just racist

nah i’m not done actually - that essay was beautiful and heartbreaking and written with a remarkable and touching eloquence and sensitivity.

similar reactions are flying around as to when chrissy teigen went public about her loss of a child. shrouding women’s bodies in

this veil of shame and secrecy and “it’s a private matter” is so damaging and isolating. it’s even richer when it comes from the same people who think they have the god given right to legislate the very same bodies of women and how they can or cannot function

meghan markle is a hell of a woman. she had her own damned life before she entered that family and would have been sound without them. she did not need them. she clearly loves harry in a way you don’t see very often in royal relationships. she has done that boy the world of good

the abuse and criticism she faces daily compared to the breadstick that is kate middleton is vile and there is no doubt in my mind that if the roles were reversed kate would be overwhelmed with support. meghan deserves better, and so does every woman who publicly talks on this

when that interviewer asked her is she was okay my heart shattered when she said no one ever asks her that.

she has a platform and is using it for good, instead of spewing hateful and divisive bile - a foreign concept to any and all who are criticising her, i am sure.
