Money better spent on dementia care of childhood cancer. Money better spent on childcare and elder care. Money better spent on Battersea cat and dog home if you ask me...

Men cannot become pregnant and no one actually thinks they can. We might politely nod but no one truly believes this horse shit, not if they were being truly honest.

Men can not become pregnant.

If someone has gender dysphoria then how could they possibly want to become pregnant - the most sex affirming act a woman can do!

How many young women who were put on blockers at the onset of puberty will even be capable of getting pregnant?

Surely the nedical treatment for a pregnant woman is the same regardlesd how a person identifies.

Is it referring to this project
transpregnancy.leeds.ac.uk/about/
The principle aims of the project are to:

  • Consider the extent to which transmasculine practices of pregnancy and birth constitute an emergingsocio-demographic shift.
  • Explore the ways in which transmasculine practices of pregnancy and birthbring new meanings to gendered and embodied identities.
  • Analyse how transmasculine practices of pregnancy and birthspeak to issues of gendered, sexual and intimate citizenship.
  • Evaluate transmasculine practices of pregnancy and birth in relation to‘best practice’ standards of health carefor trans people.
  • Examine transmasculine practices of pregnancy and birth within the context of‘best practice’ standards in reproductive science and technology.

Half a million quid to study how the NHS can serve half a dozen patients a decade better. I wonder how many years of life that would buy a cancer patient?

Doubtless the incisive mind of Sally Hines will come up with impressive results.
