Why TERFs only seem to care about gay surrogacy

Something we all ought to learn from

11 min readAug 7, 2021

I came across this comment today in reply to a discussion on anti-surrogacy activists, and I think it’s a thing worth talking about because I’ve spent some years now researching the anti-trans movement, the growth of the UK evangelical right over the last decade, and wider international links these have.

A closer look around the conversation shows that, although Claire Heuchan (the original poster, a radical feminist and gender critical commentator) shows a clear bias in general towards stories about gay men, she joins in challenging the Orthodox Christian participating in the anti-surrogacy conversation stepping over into explicit homophobia prompted by her thread criticising Tan France and his husband for using a surrogate to become parents.
