Racial Justice and Egg Donation

We Are Egg Donors stands with those who have been harmed, repressed, marginalized, or murdered because of their skin color. We stand with those who seek justice through protests across the world. We stand together with a commitment against racism and we will not be silent on this issue.

We are a volunteer-run group with WAED members from all over the world. Right now, WAED is taking steps to increase the safety in this group for people of color. As moderators and admins of our community space, we remain committed to ensuring that our forum is a safe and welcoming space for people to discuss issues related to egg donation. We’re here to have difficult conversations.  As we navigate those conversations, we must ensure that our community continues to be an actively anti-racist space. We don’t see racial justice as a difference of opinion, but as a matter of human rights and dignity. We will not relegate this to a “political issue.” This is a human rights issue.

As such, WAED is taking active measures to renew our commitment to standards for an anti-racist and safe space for people of color. Our group’s community standards are now expanded to further clarify what this means for our community and its members. 

Below is our updated rules and etiquette.

Community Rules & Etiquette

To keep WAED’s community a private safe space for everyone, please read our group’s rules & etiquette before posting.

Treat others with respect and kindness. It’s alright and encouraged to express your opinion and to own it as your own — but we do not accept any kind of discourse that compromises the safe, open, and supportive environment of our forum. This is an actively anti-racist space: racism will not be tolerated and will result in your removal. We are also a gender-inclusive space and recognize that not all egg donors identify as women.

Now and then, a sensitive personal topic will be brought up. Please use an extra dose of kindness and tact when discussing personal issues. There are endless spots on the internet to shame or judge folks; WAED is not among them. Please PM or tag a mod if you’re concerned. 

Private stays private. All content must stay within the forum and cannot be shared elsewhere. Don’t forward posts or replies without permission of the original author. We have a one-strike policy against sharing content without permission; it will result in your removal from the group. We take extra strides to maintain a private safe space, so thanks in advance for being mindful.

Donor-only members. This forum is exclusive to egg donors.
