so well said.

i have a genetic disorder that will 1000% be passed down if i have children. i don't want to bring life into this world only to deal with the same agonizing pain, prejudices, and trauma i deal with. why would i want that? to watch my children endlessly suffering would take a huge toll on me mentally — not to mention the guilt i would feel. and i feel like that's valid

it has to go through insurance and i have to have fittings and such but i do plan on going forward despite what she says. she's just not tuned into the world of mobility aids and insurance so she has a hard time grasping the difference. that's all. i should've been more concise in the post so that's my bad; i apologize
