That example will fly way over the head of so many people.
Here: you’re a male and like your penis and balls. They bring you great joy and are attached to your body. One day you go the doctor and discover you have cancer. They have to remove your cock and balls. No anesthesia, pain medicine, or councilors. No help or support from community because nobody celebrates the removal of joyful pleasure areas. Then, the doctors tell you that, “whoops! There was no cancer. Haha!”, and they tried to get your fun stick and hacky sacks back, but they were already insinerated.
Now realize there is nothing and no one to help guide you through this loss into acceptance. You are alone in your misery.
That kind of misses the fact that the person in the post was specifically saying that miscarriage is not a real loss because you can likely make another baby. If you permanently lose an appendage and can't get another, that isn't a good parallel. Also you've had your body parts your entire life and didn't have to do anything at all to get them, so also not a good parallel.
