Oh lol didn't realized this was posted twice!

Here was my previous comment about the article:

Why on Sam's Hill would a woman transition to a man then want to get pregnant? I was a former TiF and that was one of the absolute LAST things I wanted to do, especially since I had gender dysphoria.

These TRAs are delusional. Most likely she wanted to get pregnant for narcissistic reasons. Just like Blaire White wanted to use his sperm...

Are there any background checks they go through before allowing people to use sperm donors or egg donors??? How did she, presenting as a "man" get the ability to---oh well...I'm wasting my breath.

Just another thought: If this were a TiM instead of a TiF, do you all think they would've allowed the TiM to change his title as "mother" or "parent" while not allowing the TiF to change to "father" or "parent" or is it that the law knows what common sense is and wouldn't allow for eithet scenario regardless?

Is a purely political act. I feel sorry for the child.

I've seen teen trans men plan out their futures like this "I'll get T at 18 screw around then get a gay boyfriend, get engaged at 23, married at 25, come off T for a year and have 2 kids then get bottom surgery at 30" just like the boy obsessed girls used to do at school. It's a kind of status climbing via relationship rather than career.

It's like these kids haven't even been told that testosterone could very well sterilize them, and that their uteruses may have needed to be removed by that point. It's fucking tragic. What are these doctors telling them?

Sounds like the 1950s when some women went to college/uni mainly in pursuit of a "MRS degree"
