What if there's no direct benefit of attending the site? e.g. my coworkers are at a different site

literally me (and by the sounds of it, a lot more people working here), hence why i've been allowed to wfh so far

Can you quantify the reduced productivity that you say you're seeing?

they can't quantify shit, in the same meeting they were discussing rising profits ffs

Will there be exceptions for neurodivergent individuals?

maybe, if they've spent hundreds of dollars on a diagnosis (still need to test this myself however)

Covid hasn't gone away, people are still dying from it. What steps will take to make sure the more crowded workspaces are safe?

fuck all. they don't give a shit if their actions cause further deaths if it can save them some money

bonus:

It's not hard to work in the office. We did it prior to covid and 5 days a week!

Fortunately there are many ways to have a family where you don't get pregnant. And concerns and intense grief over fertility is something you share with a loooot of cis women, the feminine mystique is very strong. That doesn't take away the grief of not being able to be pregnant. Only to let you know that many of us share the same struggle. Living your life without being able to be pregnant is a life worth living, you can still have children but even if you don't - there are many ways you can improve childrens' lives.

When I was growing up, I was very sure I didn't want children. I even tried to get snipped at 18. Anyway, turns out I really didn't want to be a dad but being a mom would be great! It didn't work with my long term ex and I think I'm starting to get beyond any chance of biological kids. I've thought about adopting or fostering for reunification, I dunno. I have the kids at work (I'm a peds nurse) and that's working for me so far.

For what it's worth, the first children that have been born to women with uterus transplants have already been born, they're like 5 to 10 years old. They just don't allow trans women to have the procedure, but it's something that's happening right now. Maybe like a 12 year old trans girl will be able to get it 15 years from now or maybe in the next 5 years it'll be more open. We have the same blood vessels, we can take immunosuppressants, we can get the organ.

Every fucking day. It’s something that haunts me and will do so the rest of my life.

There’s nothing more I want to do with my life than to create one and raise it. It feels like my whole life’s purpose and I can never fulfill it and it kills me on the inside. Such a strong maternal instinct that can never be fulfilled.

To be honest, this feeling is generally a very central part of my dysphoria and severe depression most of the time. It hurts. A lot.
