I am a board-certified OB/GYN. That’s not just a credential; it’s a reality I’ve lived for 25 years in clinical practice. I’ve spent my career advocating for women’s health, researching ways to improve outcomes, and treating thousands of patients. I love what I do.
Which is exactly why I refuse to stay silent when basic, irrefutable biological truths are under attack.
Recently, I shared a straightforward statement on social media: “Only females can become pregnant.”
That’s it. No political slogan, no commentary, just a biological fact. In any other time in human history, this would be considered common sense—Reproductive Biology 101. But today, stating the obvious is seen as radical.
The backlash was immediate and absurd. I was called insensitive, biased, even misogynistic. Yes, you read that right—apparently, it’s now misogynistic to say that women are the ones who get pregnant.
Let’s call this what it is: insanity.
We’ve reached a dangerous point in our culture when scientific truth is treated as hate speech. If stating that only females can become pregnant is controversial, we’re not just dealing with differing opinion, we’re dealing with a wholesale rejection of reality.
And here’s the irony: I deliberately used the word “female” in my post, to highlight the distinction between biological sex and gender identity.
Predictably, the outrage confirmed that far too many people no longer understand that difference, or worse, don’t care.
We now live in a society where biological fact is subordinate to ideological fiction. Gender identity is promoted as fluid and limitless, while sex — a measurable, immutable reality — is dismissed as offensive. It’s madness.
Even respected medical organizations like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) have caved. In their eagerness to appear inclusive, they’ve abandoned precise medical language and endorsed vague, gender-neutral terms that blur the lines of science.
That’s not just unhelpful, it’s dangerous.
When medical professionals refuse to acknowledge basic truths, like the fact that pregnancy is a female biological function, women lose. Science loses. Healthcare loses.
Let’s be clear:
- Gender ideology does not change anatomy or reproductive endocrinology.
- It doesn’t alter chromosomes.
- It doesn’t rewrite the rules of human reproduction.
And pretending otherwise doesn’t make us more compassionate; it makes us dishonest.
We need to teach our children the truth. Middle school and high school science teachers must be empowered, not punished, for teaching real biology. Our youth deserve facts, not politically filtered narratives.
This isn’t about exclusion. It’s about clarity. And clarity matters… especially in medicine.
Truth is not hate.
Science is not bigotry.
And only females can become pregnant.
That’s not controversial.
That’s biology.
And I won’t apologize for saying it.
