What made it press all my buttons is that it's the exact attitude I usually get over being Jewish and similar to the one that many women get over not having children or going through menopause and that anyone with chronic illness faces. I have friends who get it over the colour of their skin or their sexual preferences. It's a new prejudice, but it takes on the language and attitudes of a bunch of old ones.

It really saddens me that people respect my right to be deficient in so many ways before they do studies to find out if any of those things actually cause any kind of deficiency.
