NEW YORK CITY, NY— Following Donald Trump’s impending return to the White House, progressive activist Melissa Green (she/they) has reportedly taken drastic measures to cope with the political landscape: undergoing voluntary sterilization to avoid the possibility of having a child she “can’t legally abort.”
Green, (whom ironically has blue hair) a 29-year-old self-described “gender queer eco-feminist vegan anarchist,” announced her decision on social media, where she claimed Trump's election left her no choice.
“Trump’s victory means my body is no longer mine!” Green wrote in a viral post. “I can’t risk bringing a child into a world where abortion rights might be restricted. So, I’m taking control by making sure I can never get pregnant in the first place.”
A Bold Statement
Green’s decision was met with applause and confusion online. Supporters hailed her as a feminist icon, while others pointed out that Trump’s first term did not outlaw abortion but rather left the issue to states.
“It’s about sending a message,” Green clarified in a follow-up post. “If I can’t have unrestricted access to abortion on demand, then I won’t participate in the system of forced reproduction!”
Experts Weigh In
Medical professionals and political commentators alike were baffled by Green’s move.
Dr. Laura Edwards, an OB-GYN based in New Jersey, said, “Sterilization is a serious, permanent decision. It’s concerning if it’s being done as a knee-jerk reaction to a political event.”
Political analyst Brian Thompson added, “This is less about Trump’s policies and more about performative activism. The Supreme Court hasn’t even touched abortion rights in most blue states.”
A Controversial Trend
Green is reportedly part of a growing online community of women considering sterilization as a form of protest. The group, which calls itself ‘No Baby, No Tyranny,’ claims they are “fighting back against patriarchal control of women’s bodies” by opting out of reproduction entirely.
Meanwhile, conservatives reacted to the trend with a mix of humor and indifference. “If they don’t want kids, that’s their choice,” one commenter said. “Honestly, this might solve a lot of problems on its own.”
Another commentator said, “Who's having sex with these people anyway?”
Looking Ahead
As Trump prepares for his second term, Green insists she has no regrets. “This is about more than just me. It’s about preserving freedom and my reproductive rights to kill my fetus—for those of us who still have [that right].”
Her friends noted, however, that Green’s newfound commitment to freedom hasn’t stopped her from advocating for mandatory castration of male infants — if any are born — just in case they are mistakenly assigned male at birth.
