There is a case coming out of New York, and this is in my wheelhouse.

So whenever I see these cases, go, whoa, and I get really connected to them, not as a plaintiff or

which is true, by the way. And the reason they didn't want a baby boy is because one of the women

had been traumatized from being sexually assaulted on two different occasions. We didn't want to

have a boy because of the assaults and because of the socialization of

boys constant socialization of what it means to be a real man i mean yeah it sounds like the kind

of parent i would want uh you think whatever i get is fantastic but they don't think that way so uh

i love their names heather wilhelm rottenbergberg and her wife Robin Rottenberg Wilhelm

wanted the girl. You can't beat that. You can't write that stuff. And they claim they went to

CNY Fertility Center in Latham, New York, which they did. And they were told it's not a problem to determine the boy's sex before the embryos transferred,
