The kid or not to kid one actually sounds like a good documentary. But i am just so freaking tired of so called feminists acting like there is anything feminist about pretending that pregnancy and childbirth are not women's issues. In fact I am even going to go so far as to say how can you even feel like you were supposed to be even a man if you are pregnant. Most stuff both men and women can do, but in literally every animal it is the female that is pregnant! I mean holy shit this just comes across as virtue signaling.

Also, it appears that a major reason the TIF featured in the second film, Freddie McConnell, a multimedia journalist for the Guardian, got pregnant - which was done via IUI - in the first place was for the purpose of a) starring in this documentary about a "man" being pregnant and giving birth, and b) suing the UK government in a landmark case to establish her "right" to be named the father on the child's birth certificate, thus utterly changing (destroying) the the meaning of "mother" and "father" in UK law - and removing from UK children the legal right, ability and means to know the basic facts of their own parentage. (Fortunately, McConnell lost the court case, which caused this narcissist and all the powers backing her to cry "transphobia!")

McConnell - whose Twitter feed is full of anti-woman content vilifying feminists who believe that biology is real and matters, such as JK Rowling and Rosie Duffield - now focuses a lot of her "journalism" on making and publishing videos about her young child. Another example of a child who cannot possibly consent being used as a show pony and parental validation device, trotted out constantly in the public eye to serve the needs of an attention-seeking parent.

That reminds me of Tomas Beadle who was another pregnant TIF, who was only claim to fame was being a "pregnant man" She also called transphobiia at women that were like whooptie do, a woman got pregnant! Where is our photospreads and spots on Oprah. I am tired of the media catering to these people.

To be fair, Beatie seems to have provided his kids a regular life out of the spotlight. There's no evidence any of the children are being labeled trans. He's got three boys and a girl, and they all seem typical. I don't have anything against trans people being parents as long as they're honest with their children about their history and don't try to interfere in their personal development.

yeah, and a lot of it was really the medias fault too, they kind of objectified him imo. At least he wasn't trying to sue everyone and he stopped after having them.
