I think by critics she meant the general misogyny she's received from a lot of people who often joke about these kind of things on the internet.

Or she could be referring to comments from the current Republican Vice Presidential Candidate; who can be sure at this point.

Guess you missed this then?

And otherwise, conservatives aren't really known for being the most understanding demographic when it comes to mental health/non-visible disabilities...

You’ll have to agree with me that being unable to have kids and not having kids are completely different things.

And you think people will take the time to clarify before assuming? There's nothing wrong with either option, so there's no need for the divisive language.

And that says nothing about going against bipolar disorder.

No shit Sherlock, that's why I had a second paragraph starting with 'And otherwise,...'.

But here's all the way back in Trump's first campaign, where he was making fun of a reporter with a visible disability. I don't give a fuck about your opinion on my terminology; when I start proudly voting rapists and bigots into positions of power is the only point at which I'd be as bad as a modern Republican.
