In the candid essay she wrote for Glamour, Tamblyn explains the hardship that many women face in this country and describes her hopes for raising her daughter. “I’m pregnant, with a daughter on the way. I think constantly about the world I am bringing her into,” she began. “I’ve been thinking about motherhood a lot lately. What it means to be one, what it means to have one, what it means to know one, what it means to make decisions as one and have conversations as one. I am very lucky to be surrounded by strong mothers, from my own mom to some of my best friends — those who are raising young women to accept themselves and those who are raising young men to accept women.”

She then goes on to explain her support of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, saying she is about to mail in her absentee ballot. “I’ll be voting for a future for my daughter where conversations about our bodies and our lives are broader than what value they have for men,” she wrote, taking a jab at Republican nominee Donald Trump. “A future where being a mother is less about warning our daughters about our sons and is instead lifting them up to their greatest potential. A future where my girl will someday say, ‘Donald who?’ and think nothing is revolutionary about a woman becoming President. A future where she can’t even believe that was ever even a thing.”

Tamblyn previously wrote on Facebook about her experiences with sexual assault in light of the recent Trump Tape scandal in which the presidential candidate bragged about taking advantage of women and using his fame to grope women without their permission.

Tamblyn and Cross wed in 2012 and are excited to welcome their first child in the near future.
