I'm horrified this is being reported uncritically.

Oh and apparently it's transphobic to ask if this means men can breastfeed.

Whereas, as an actual woman, I recently went to a bar with a few people from work - and got questioned by the bar staff when ordering four pints and two cokes due to the fact that one of my colleagues is visibly pregnant.

Please note that I'm not even the pregnant one in this episode. But the mere fact that one woman could potentially have procured one slightly alcoholic beverage for another, pregnant one obviously warranted a few checks.

Meanwhile, if you happen to be a bloke we should celebrate the fact that you put yourself onto a potent cocktail of various drugs in order for you to feel validated - and potentially pass said drugs right on to an infact in the process.

WTAF? Angry

‘There are also cases of transgender men carrying pregnancies and breastfeeding, she said.’

No shit Sherlock.

It’s absolutely disgusting.

It’s child abuse. I feel sick

I’ve given up being horrified by the way the Guardian report this stuff now. It’s like propaganda for the TRAs.

That is ridiculous. I hate the use of the term 'cisgendered' and non-transgendered women. I am a woman. Why the need to mess with biology so much?

I think it might be time for the Guardian and I to part company.
