Surrogacy for Gay Couples in Cyprus

Surrogacy for gay couples in Cyprus is restricted, as the law does not explicitly permit same-sex couples to engage in surrogacy arrangements. Many couples choose to explore surrogacy options abroad where legal frameworks are more inclusive. Connect us at surrogacy.care for more information.

Women reduced to baby making ovens. Babies reduced to shopping orders. And they call this progress.

Thanks for the judge though.

These fucking men I swear.

Surrogacy is blatant crime against women...

It's so less talked about in radblr. If you think I'm exaggerating, I DONT CARE.

You'd agree with me that selling body organs is unequivocally a crime and fundamentally unethical. Assigning a monetary value to a kidney would inevitably result in widespread trafficking. Such exploitation would target the most vulnerable members of society—those struggling to meet their basic needs—further perpetuating injustice and suffering. Indeed, there are individuals in need of transplants, and fortunately, there are altruistic donors who selflessly offer their organs to help others.

Why do you believe that surrogacy is fundamentally different? Is it because a woman's body is treated as a commodity? How can the act of utilizing a woman's body to have a child be considered ethical? It resembles human trafficking.

You assert that as long as a woman consents, it is acceptable. I question whether this truly constitutes consent. Is the decision made by a woman a genuine choice? This perspective would not apply to prostitution involving trafficked women. Choices are never made in isolation.

The compensation provided is insufficient when compared to the physical harm experienced by women. Are you aware of the inherent risks associated with pregnancy? Pregnancy can result in lasting changes to your body and carries significant health risks, including the potential for severe complications. Will these surrogate hires genuinely prioritize her well-being? You claim that "surrogacy assists couples facing infertility, women opting out of pregnancy, and same-sex couples." This parallels the perspective of some liberal feminists who argue that "prostitution has protected us from sexual assault." It is unacceptable to place disadvantaged and vulnerable women in such positions and label it as feminism.

Couples facing challenges with conception may consider adoption or pursue IVF; however, the practice of renting a woman's body is deeply troubling. It seems likely that external pressures from in-laws or spouses may influence a woman to seek a surrogate, but that is a separate issue.

The surrogacy debate also underscores that GAY MEN ARE MEN before they are anything. Men often feel a sense of entitlement regarding women's bodies, regardless of whether they are straight men, TiMs, or gay men. They think they have a right to a biological child. https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/nyc-sued-for-withholding-ivf-coverage-for-gay-male-employees

It is alaso worth noting (although trivial) that surrogate children exhibit reduced attachment to their biological parents, which may contribute to attachment disorders. Regardless of whether you are seeking a surrogate due to infertility, a desire to preserve your ""legacy"" or any other rationale, it is unacceptable to regard a woman's body as a commodity. This shit reflects abhorrent misogyny and constitutes a violation of women's rights. My stance against any anti-woman ideologies will remain firm. https://enchantedfamillymedicine.substack.com/p/wire-mother-nation?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2

WOMEN'S BODIES AREN'T FOR SALE

i understand the frustration with “i made this gay pairing cis x trans so they can still have biological babies” with no thought to other methods and how ppl assume thats the case when it comes to mothpool aus where mothwing is also the mother of the three, but also…. idk i kinda dont give a shit if someone wants to do that and i dont really think its inherently transphobic as long as its handled with care and respect.

what really concerns me about this debate is how some people are adamant that you cannot portray trans people having biological children in media or youre being disrespectful. and im gonna say as a nonbinary person who doesnt want children for themself- thats kinda fucking weird? like i understand that for some people, theyre trans themselves and theyre speaking from a place of dysphoria, and i absolutely get that, which is why i think the topic should be handled with nuance and diversity in trans characters, but like…. guys. pregnant trans men exist irl. trans women get people pregnant irl. trans ppl’s ability and right to parent and have biological children are being debated irl. we get denied the opportunity to adopt as well.

in a climate like this, are we SURE we want the stance on rewrites and headcanons in the silly cat books to be “if you portray trans characters having children, especially with a gay couple, youre a transphobic freak no matter what!” does it really matter? especially if its being done by a trans person handling the topic with nuance who has a lot of trans characters with varying perspectives?

obviously yes, remember that thats not the only way certain gay couples can have kids, remember that not every trans person is fully comfortable with it and keep that in mind, remember that surrogacy and adoption are also perfectly valid ways to give fan babies- but remember that there are OPTIONS. not that you need to condemn the idea of transgender parents in the first place unless they fit the very specific criteria of “proper transgender representation” and anything that dares deviate from that is proof the op is a transphobic monster (bonus points if theyre a trans creator bc i mostly see trans people getting shit for this and it kinda pisses me off. although idm if cis people do it either as long as theyre handling it with respect)

BAN SURROGACY NOW

[vaugarde]

feel like “making a fictional gay couple where one is cis and one is trans so they can have bio kids is iffy if thats exactly how youre presenting it” and “that specific dynamic exists irl and its not something that should be shamed or discouraged from presenting in fiction, plus while its a nuanced topic, trans people still have children and denying that entirely does more harm than good to the community” are two statements that can exist at once tbh

Anderson Cooper is a prominent openly gay journalist on American TV. He came out as gay in an essay in 2012. He had been conflicted about protecting his own privacy and providing LGBT youth with a positive role model.

“It’s become clear to me that by remaining silent on certain aspects of my personal life for so long, I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something—something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed or even afraid,” he wrote. “This is distressing because it is simply not true...The fact is, I’m gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.”

In 2022, Cooper shared an amusing story about when he first realized he was gay. At the age of 12, friends of his mother took him to go see “Bent”, a Broadway play starring Richard Gere. In the opening scene Gere and another actor were having sex under blankets. The other actor climbs out of the bed, naked, and got dressed. Cooper thought to himself:

“Oh my God, I’m gay…I’m totally gay.”

When the play was over, young Cooper went back stage to meet Gere (his theater companions knew the actor). Gere was shirtless and Cooper described the situation:

“And I had my Playbill and I wanted to get him to autograph it, but I was too—I just couldn’t stop staring at his chest. And so, fast forward to 10 years ago, I was interviewing Richard Gere and I took out the Playbill…and I told him the whole story and I had him sign it. Yeah. He was very tickled with it.”

Cooper had been in a long term relationship with Benjamin Maisani, a New York businessman. They broke up in 2018 but remained friends. In 2022 and again in 2023, Anderson Cooper had sons via surrogacy. Cooper co-parents the boys with Maisani who plans to adopt the boys as well.

Although Anderson Cooper being gay may be inspirational, I was more surprised when I found out he is the son of railroad heiress and fashion designer Gloria Vanderbilt. His net worth is estimated to be $200 million, partial due to his $12 million annual salary at CNN. And also from his inheritance from his mother’s estate when she passed away in 2019.

Argentina does not have a specific surrogacy law, Surrogacy for Gay Parents in Argentina are possible. Courts tend to rule in favor of surrogacy agreements, particularly when the welfare of the child is prioritized. Legal support and proper documentation are necessary to secure parental rights for both gay fathers.

People are congratulating him as if he’s the one growing the babies. 🤣 Like, GTFOH!!

Congratulations, you exploited a poor woman. 👏🏾

a rly underrated thing about crazy ex girlfriend imo is that it's one of the rare shows i know of that really spends time on exploring what the process of having children is like for queer ppl/for those who go about it "non-normatively". it's not even rly a main storyline but i still find it rly well-handled and touching.

Irish Gay Dads is hosting a free and informative conference titled Embracing Parenthood: Navigating the Surrogacy Journey for Same-Sex Couples. The event is set to take place on Saturday, September 7, at the Maldron Hotel Merrion Road.

As a support and advocacy group, Irish Gay Dads aims to provide a safe space where gay fathers and fathers-to-be can connect, share experiences, and celebrate the joys of fatherhood. Their goal is to empower and inspire members throughout their journey to becoming a parent and beyond.

Through the conference on September 7, Irish Gay Dads will facilitate comprehensive and ethical discussions on surrogacy for the LGBTQ+ community in Ireland. Featuring talks on the legal, practical, and psychological aspects of surrogacy, the event will cover every stage of the journey, making it suitable for people who are just beginning, currently in the process, or already have children via surrogacy.

The lineup of speakers includes family law solicitor Annette Hickey, former Chair of the Litigation Committee of the Law Society of Ireland Fiona Duffy, reproductive endocrinology and infertility specialist Ravi Victory, behavioural psychologist Louise Cleary, nurse manager Lisa Hogan, and more.

Speaking about the conference, Chairperson of Irish Gay Dads Seamus Kearney Martone said: “We are hosting this conference to ensure that intended parents, whether considering domestic or international surrogacy, have access to safe, ethical, and comprehensive information.

“Our aim is to guide them through their surrogacy journey with the support of leading Irish solicitors, fertility experts, and child psychologists. By bringing together these professionals, we hope to empower intended parents with the knowledge and resources they need to make informed decisions and navigate the complexities of surrogacy with confidence and care.”

The event is sponsored by the firms of two of the top surrogacy solicitors in Ireland: Fiona Duffy from Patrick F. O’Reilly & Co. Solicitors and Annette Hickey from Poe Kiely Hogan Lanigan Solicitors.

Commenting on the event, Annette Hickey said: “I am so delighted that Irish Gay Dads have arranged such an important information event during this time while we await the commencement of legislative provisions.

“I would encourage and advise all intended parents who are making huge decisions about their surrogacy journeys to speak with Irish Gay Dads and other Irish surrogacy advocacy groups who you can trust before signing any documents with an international agency.

“This event will help intended parents come to a decision about their surrogacy journey with the professional assistance of those who care about you and your family,” Hickey concluded.

hi just a little reminder that most jegulus shippers aren’t women-hating misogynists <3

Yeah, as a nonbinary person who could get pregnant but never wants to, I find the way fans treat trans cats having litters really weird. Like as long as you depict it with respect because trans parents deserve it, it's not hurting anyone. Plus it's unfair to trans fans who want to have biokids. I saw a Warriors Roleplay outright ban trans cats from having children that werent adopted with the excuse of 'listening to trans voices'. Ok, well not every trans person is uncomfortable with the idea of having children and its unfair to act like thats the case. YOU can be uncomfortable with having kids and thats fine, but just because something makes you dysphoric doesnt mean nobody is allowed to do it.

ABSOLUTELY! Ohhh I have thoughts about that RP... "you can NEVER portray trans characters having bio kids, they HAVE to adopt because trans people having bio kids is wrong!! We're doing this because we love trans people and we know that not a single one has had or wants children! This is helpful!! We're helping!!"

This stuff does have an effect on the real world, too (maybe not our silly little cat headcanons, but the general discussion around this topic in a wider range) When you insist that you can't portray trans people having kids, to the point you ban it in an rp or lash out at trans creators who do so, how do you think that reflects onto trans people who not only want bio kids, but have already had bio kids? That people like them are so uncomfortable, it is an insult to other trans people to acknowledge they exist? That they are an Other, something abnormal, something the trans community should never accept?

I get it. There are a lot of trans people irl who don't want bio kids because of dysphoria, among several other factors. Anon and I are two of them! And there WERE some people genuinely being reductive about the topic and just making a single trans character in a gay ship trans for bio kids. But what trans people are you helping by banning the discussion altogether? We aren't a hivemind. We're all individuals with different needs and preferences. If your dysphoria is SO bad that you can't look at other trans people who haven't met your standard for whatever reason and you demand that they stay quiet and not exist for your comfort... it's time to work on yourself. And if you're not trans and you're saying this, please shut up, holy shit stop telling trans people how to write our own characters or how we should headcanon things.

And to be honest, I've grown kinda sick of being policed around what kind of trans characters we're allowed to write. This attitude extends to stuff like dysphoria, whether a character has taken steps to medically transition (and you'll get snapped at no matter what!), portraying GNC trans people, and more. It's not as prevalent in the warriors fandom, I think, but it's become so nitpicked that I'm exhausted.
