Hello, I was banned from Reddit for saying that men cannot get pregnant on a thread about pregnancy tests so now I am here. Ideally, I am hoping this is a place that looks just like Reddit, but also allows you to state that men cannot get pregnant in an evidence-based, non-hateful manner.

but really if you can't comprehend how putting a uterus into a man is less natural than putting one into a female I don't know what else to tell you

It's the same operation. For the same reason. Unless you've got a particular hang up about the sex assigned at birth affecting "natualness" then they're equally natural.

Yes, I do believe that impregnating a male is significantly less natural than doing the same exact procedure to a female. It seems like we're just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one lol.

I think you're straw manning a little bit to call uterus transplantation "impregnating".

And being assigned male at birth is different from being male. There's all sorts of medical conditions that could lead to that, some of which are quite closely related to some of the reasons why someone without female reproductive organs might be assigned female at birth.

If you are performing a procedure that causes a person to become pregnant, impregnating seems appropriate enough. I'm not referring to fringe cases of people having intersex conditions, just a standard XX vs XY.

Having a uterus doesn't cause you to become pregnant.

Women (be they cis or trans) born without a uterus are edge cases.
