Depends. If there’s agp involved, then they shouldn’t be eligible for parenting because agps first and foremost priority always seems to be their agp. Seen dads in their late forties day they resent their kids for not calling him mum. Also seen far too many confessions from agp men about wearing/stealing/masturbating into daughters/stepdaughters clothing and underwear to believe that the average agp male is safe around children.

Regular dysphoric people don’t seem to be any sort of problem. I absolutely don’t believe in publicly funded fertility assistance for adults who have voluntarily sterilised themselves, so if they want a genetic baby after transitioning, better have saved up some cash and eggs/sperm.

I’m also concerned that a transgender parent may be willing to put their child through hormones and whatnot if the child ever said ‘I’m trans’ or was gnc. A six year old saying ‘I’m trans’ is not actually trans. It’s like them saying ima a fireman’ cause dads a fireman.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

I feel like the AGPs are a problem too. I also have issues with anyone who comes out as trans after having kids to be honest (How does that even happen?), but that’s a whole different conversation I guess.

That seems fair. My husband and I have been trying to add to our family and we are using our own money (not that any sort of fertility assistance would have helped in my case).

Oh wow, I hadn’t really thought about that. I hope parents wouldn’t be like that with kids. I do worry about some trans people seemingly wanting others to be trans (presumably for validation?). That would be so wrong though...
