She can share her ‘journey’ with her followers without a trigger warning but no-one’s allowed to share their stories or tell her anything bad tho
that's what really irritated me! she plans ot keep her followers updated, and seems to see it as some great favour to share the process and her experiences, when in reality, she just wants an excuse to moan and rant in her stories when everyrhing doesn't go. exactly to plan, or she experiences side effects from the drugs she's worried about taking - don't send her any horror stories or share your own negative experiences or struggles, because she doesn't wanna know, but sit back and listen to her share her own potentially negative experiences etc - or listen to her glout about her privilege at being able to freeze her eggs, as though it isn't going to be totally heartbreaking for some of her audience strugglinng with fertility who can't afford IVF and fertility treatment, or have to save for years, while for Alex, the £4000+ needed for a single cycle of egg freezing is just loose change, just she fails to ever acknowledge her privilege! i wish she would
bleeping think about other people, and the impact her content has on others - in exactly the same way she thinks about
herself and warns people not to send her stories that may result in anxiety or fear etc.
and guaranteed she will also be using the egg freezing process and the meds she is taking etc to justify those emotional/crying with smudged mascara stories which she deletes after receiving an influx of sympathetic and supportive DMs, because it's all for attention - same with the ragey, ranty posts where she complains and
witches, only to swiftly deflate a few hours later when she is made aware how awful and bitchy she sounds.
it also seems incredibly suspicious that Alex simply decided to stop taking her anti-depressants just as she began the process of freezing her eggs, as though ot was just a coincidence and the time just felt right, and it had absolutely nothing to do with any advice to review her meds to increase the likelihood of success - in the same way they would. advise presumably advise you avoid alcohol etc. equally, it wouldn't surprise me if that explains her dramatic change in style where she has recently been wearing baggy, oversized clothes - even in the middle of a heat wave - to disguish the recent weight loss she was so defensive about and claimed wasn't intentional, as - despite the fact that i agree with her that BMI in itself is not an acceptable measure of health - the advice for the best chance of healthy/high quality eggs is to ensure you are within a healthy weight range, as storing fat around your ovaries can reduce the quality of the eggs being produced - and she had previously explained she fell withhint the "overweight" BMI bracket. regardless of the reason behind her weight loss, i veyy much doubt she would happily reveal thta she had intentionally lost weight to an audience she has built on the premise of being anti diet culture and fiercely against the idea of dieting etc - but it's incredibly disingenuous and misleading to pretend that her lifestyle changes like withdrawing from her meds etc were just random, unrelated decisions. if you are going to share the process with your flowers, at least have the decency to be honest woth them, as misleading people totally defeats the point of sharing her experience.
oh, and the fact that she has tagged that fertility clinic in all her stories, and they have reshared her stories in their stories - sure, they she may not be gifted the process as a freebie, but i fully image she is being given a discount as payment for advertising the clinic to her large audience - especially knowing that many are people who have struggled with eating disorders/disordered eating, thus are more likely to struggle with fertility issues. she is unbelievably vile and manipulative.
