No. 4 Fertility for trans and gender diverse people – Dr Bronwyn Devine

No. 4 Fertility for trans and gender diverse people – Dr Bronwyn Devine

by Jac Tomlins · May 8, 2017

Recently I was doing the introductory small talk thing with a new school mum when she asked:  And what does your partner do? She’s a lawyer, I replied. Oh I hate lawyers, she said. Actually she didn’t say it; she spat it, with venom. I was tempted to say: And what does your partner do? […]
