Something that stuck out to me was the post by a Mom about having a grandchild. Her son was able to father a child despite 5 years of HRT, and the Mom recognizes how lucky her son was that there was a "supply chain issue" that prevented him from getting the HRT for some period of time, which is how he was able to become a father. One would think this miracle, this joy, FATHERHOOD and her becoming a grandmother, would remind her how precious our natural bodies are, and that messing with your body and risking (and in many cases, depending on when this all starts and what interventions occur - such as castration, assuring) sterility is a terrible thing to do to a young person. If a fully grown, mature adult without mental health issues who has been fully informed of all the risks and is not relying on lies (like that they "really are the opposite sex" or "this will surely make you your authentic true self" or "it's perfectly safe") wants to have these medical interventions, then that person can do this to their body and take those risks so that they can APPEAR more like the opposite sex and perhaps live as if they are the opposite sex. That is their choice and good luck to them. It's nothing to applaud, but I wouldn't condemn them either. But encouraging children to do this is simply unforgiveable. I cannot believe that Mom's miracle grandchild did not wake her up to what she is pushing onto her son. This phenomenon continues to shock me. If I didn't have to stay informed for the sake of my confused daughter, I would probably bury my head in the sand because this is all too upsetting.
Author: What I found fascinating with that post is that these FtM girls are extremely dysphoric to even be in possession of breasts, yet becoming pregnant and GIVING BIRTH for God's sake causes no issues. As with so much in our society whatever benefits me at the moment is what is important and ok.
I have had the same thought. This whole idea that we can’t speak of “pregnant women” as it may offend a “pregnant person” is absurd. If you are bothered by a word - “woman” - yet not bothered by being pregnant, you are simply creating a problem out of nothing. Woman means you are biologically female and only biological females can get pregnant - and, yes, not all biological women can get pregnant, but that matters naught. It’s the square and rectangle not all rectangles are squares, but all squares are rectangles.
