=== Eugenics === In a 2019 tweet, she stated on Twitter that<blockquote>Men and women who have bad genes with genetic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, cancer etc should not produce children. They have no right to make others suffer.<ref>{{cite tweet |number=1140856456222146560 |user=taslimanasreen |title=Men and women who have bad genes with genetic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, cancer etc should not produce children.

Next tweet was about my love for food, that i can't have the food i love because of some hereditary diseases. More than 12.4 k hatred i have received so far. Isn't it too much?

It's so absurd! 4 decades of my struggle for women's equal rights, human rights, secular humanism & free speech can't be gone with the wind because of a sarcastic tweet. It is so easy to misunderstand me! Wish i knew better english. |first=Taslima |last=Nasreen |date=21 June 2019}}</ref>
