The Ice Won’t Break Until We Speak

doanbaongoc1235 — 2025-08-07 09:45:23 UTC

I’m an unmarried woman who just turned 29. Last year, I discovered I had ovarian cysts, and my doctor suggested freezing my eggs early. But when I learned I couldn’t freeze my own eggs just because I’m single, I was shocked. I’ve built a life on my own terms—why can’t I have the same medical options as married women? This law treats me like I don’t matter unless I’m someone’s wife. I support the campaign because my future should be my choice.

「不是婚姻，是真心想當媽媽」

我是一位全職設計師，事業剛剛起步，還不打算結婚，但我也想保留當母親的機會。台灣法律卻禁止未婚女性冷凍卵子，這讓我覺得自己的身體竟然不屬於自己。我願意發聲，因為我不想再有更多女性被迫在愛情與生育之間做選擇。

「法律不該限制我的選擇」

doanbaongoc1235 — 2025-08-07 09:45:23 UTC

三年前，我罹患癌症，醫生建議我在化療前冷凍卵子。但因為我單身，醫院拒絕了我。如今我康復了，卻已經失去了成為母親的機會。我不怨命運，我怨的是這個不合理的政策。我們應該擁有對自己身體的主權，不分婚姻狀態。

What About Us?

I’m in a loving relationship, but we’re not ready for marriage. Still, I want to plan ahead. I recently learned that egg freezing is off-limits unless I sign a marriage certificate. It feels so outdated. I am not less responsible, less committed, or less deserving of choice just because I haven’t walked down the aisle.

I Deserve Dignity

When my sister got married at 25, people cheered when she announced she was freezing her eggs. But when I—just one year older and unmarried—asked the same clinic, I was refused. It hurt deeply. Our laws should evolve with the times. My body. My rights. My decision.

The Bruises No One Saw

I used to think marriage meant safety. But behind closed doors, my husband took what he wanted—without my consent. I said "no." I cried. He didn’t stop. When I tried to report it, the officer said, “But he’s your husband.” That sentence froze me more than anything else. This isn’t just a personal pain. It’s a legal failure. I share this now because silence protects abusers. The law must change.

He Said It Was His Right

doanbaongoc1235 — 2025-08-07 09:45:23 UTC

Every time he forced himself on me, he’d say, “You’re my wife. This is my right.” The shame I felt lasted longer than the bruises. I finally found the strength to leave, but I’m haunted knowing the law still doesn’t protect women like me. How many more suffer in silence? My story is one drop in an ocean of frozen truths. Let’s melt the silence—together.

婚姻不是保護傘

doanbaongoc1235 — 2025-08-07 09:45:23 UTC

我以為結婚後就安全了。但結婚後，他開始變了。我說我累了，他不聽；我說不可以，他說：「妳是我老婆，這是妳的義務。」每次我反抗，都換來更多的冷暴力與壓迫。我去報警，卻被說：「夫妻之間的事，何必鬧大？」為什麼法律要讓這種痛苦合理化？我不再沉默，我要說出來。

My Silence Was Never Consent

doanbaongoc1235 — 2025-08-07 09:45:23 UTC

We talked about everything except sex. He thought that was permission. I learned to stop asking, stop fighting, stop existing. I’ve never told this to anyone—not even my therapist. But I will tell you now: I was raped. Over and over again, by someone who wore a ring I gave him. The law calls this “marriage.” I call it trauma. Help unfreeze this silence.

婚姻不等於同意

doanbaongoc1235 — 2025-08-07 10:15:50 UTC

我曾經以為，只要我不反抗，就是默許。但其實，那是因為我害怕。我怕吵架、怕家暴、怕孩子看到。但最可怕的，是法律也不在我這邊。原來，在台灣，婚姻內強暴竟然不算犯罪？我說出來，是為了讓更多人知道：我們需要改變。

Every Letter is a Sign.
