The Bionormative Prejudice

I have never met my donor “father,” and I have no desire to do so. I do not see this lack of contact with my biological father as something missing in my life, and I have no hurt at the fact of my creation. What does cause me hurt, however, is the idea, constantly repeated . . . that there must be something wrong with your life if you do not know your biological father. My whole life I have been subjected to the shocked responses of people who—on learning that I don’t know my donor—could not understand how I could be comfortable with this and believed I must be harboring hurt about it.

The “search for identity” does not exist in a vacuum.

—Katherine O’Donovan, Birthrights: Law and Ethics at the Beginnings of Life, 2003
