So recently I found out that the feminist movement has been primarily focused on assigned-female-at-births when it comes to reproductive justice and rights over pregnancy. Which is great and all, but I don’t really see how it helps me? As an identity-fluid assigned-male-at-birth, I have compiled a short list to make changes in the reproductive justice movement to centre me. Hopefully, with more education and by shifting the focus off women and onto us identity-fluid men, these pro-choicers can be real feminists and do something to help us for once!
Hopefully, by educating and applying these tips to reproductive justice, we can open up many more possibilities to men in our industry.
1. Affordable and Free Sperm Banking Options
My doctor (bwim my GP, not Mr Stone, the disgraced surgeon who fixes my bullet wounds no questions asked) told me that my “chronic cocaine and alcohol abuse” (his words, not mine) would lead to a low sperm count. If I’d been told this earlier, back when I was at university, I would have had my sperm frozen before I chose to take drugs!
And no, I’m not going to quit anytime soon, it’s an essential part of my identity. At university (Carradine College, Oxford), I had to take coke as part of my initiation into the Brutus Club, where I made a lot of my connections for my future career as an assassin. And now I’m just an occasional user, it’s not like I keep a diary or anything.
I’d like to see that same passion and dedication that feminists show to women and girls who’ve been impregnated or sterilised, to providing me with reproductive options.
2. Protecting Hitmen from Violence
This seems like an obvious one, but we can’t reproduce if we’re murdered. We face an incredibly high risk of violence in our careers – rarely a day goes by without hearing of a fellow assassin ending up shot in the back of the head through a burlap sack and dumped on top of a freight train going to Inverness. And personally, I’ve been shot at and threatened with violence on quite a few occasions.
And who’s to blame for this? Women! So sort it out, feminists!
3. Making Sure You’re on the Pill
I might get a woman to have kids for me one day – perhaps when I’m too old for this game, I could teach them the trade – but not right now. It’s a big concern in my line of work, because sometimes I have to seduce women to convince them to let me into my target’s space, or to alibi me. I always carry condoms (if I have to make a speedy getaway into the Thames, I have to keep my coke supply dry), but I want to be really careful, and I don’t want to have to go through pregnancy and childbirth right now, so please, take your Pills!
4. Cleaning Up Bodily Fluids
Semen’s not the only fluid that contains genetic material. We can be identified by blood, sweat, saliva, all sorts. So if you happen to walk in on a hit taking place, you can be an ally by first, keeping quiet, and secondly, help to “clean the scene”. Women are naturally good at cleaning, so that’s a great way you can bring your feminine skills and qualities to your activism.
I hope all that has helped to educate you, and that you will focus on us in future, instead of uneducatedly and ignorantly focusing on women! ^_^
