Damn, I really hoped that he was. I don't understand what gay men would gain from doing this?

Oh, because he's an asshole. He also rubbed women the wrong way (the few who haven't yet been banned from twitter) when talking about his and his partners surrogacy goals. He stated something to the effect that he and his partner "deserved" government funded surrogacy since their inability to have a child is a "health care" concern, or something to that effect. Apparently the UK government should just have it's own stable of uteruses available for pretentious gay assholes. Wait, found the thread... https://twitter.com/benjamincohen/status/1308382964439539712

And this is the same guy who thinks twaw. Wonder why he didn't find a lovely transwoman to be his surrogate?

Their TWAW argument collapses so quickly. "Why not use a transwoman?"...they respond with "some women are infertile can cannot get pregnant"....but never acknowledge that no transwoman can get pregnant.

Yeah, and I wish we had the opportunity to follow up with, "but MOST women of reproductive age are fertile and can get pregnant, so that must include transwomen, right? TWAW after all!" And, to REALLY make their heads explode, add: "and many transwomen have biological children, so how can they be infertile? That means there must be some OTHER reason why they can't get pregnant! Gee, what could that possibly be, do you think?" [innocent look]

And really, going by their "logic"-- that being incapable of reproducing as the opposite sex constitutes infertility... aren't we ALL infertile? Like, every single human who ever lived? Including the ones with biological kids by the boatload? Plus more on the way? How does THAT make sense?
