Owen Jones wants a baby, and would like a lesbian couple to impregnate. Any takers on mumsnet? He could be quite a catch for someone looking for a sperm donor and a co-parent to raise a well balanced child.
He got a bit of flack, so is doubling down on the the "anti-trans cult" and calling everyone homophobic.

Sex with vagina-having men could be the highroad to parenthood for homosexual males. A road, in fact, paved with good intentions.

@SpaceBatAngelDragon

Surely a transman whose sexuality is gay should be his preferred choice? And the only choice for someone wishing to support trans rights, and the reproductive rights of trans men specifically. No need for a co-parenting situation, they could be an actual couple. Why is he excluding trans men?
This is exactly what I’m wondering. This has to be the logical solution for all those (biologically male) gay men who believe TMAM/TWAW and who want to be fathers.

Just find the kind of gay man who was born with a uterus and vagina and you don’t need a surrogate, you don’t need a “broody lesbian couple”, you don’t need any help from anyone else at all! Just some good old fashioned gay PIV sex, and job done. Barring actual fertility issues, of course.

Why are OJ and other high profile gay men not considering this route over and above any other, if they really believe TMAM?

Could it possibly be because their sexual orientation is exclusively towards other males, after all? Could it possibly be that despite what Stonewall says and despite what they themselves profess to believe, they’re not “homogenderal” after all, but homosexual?

Could there possibly be a gigantic whiff of the most monstrous hypocrisy going on here, especially from those who believe lesbians are “transphobic” if they refuse to countenance “girldick”?

Or are they really just that stupid?

As Gibbons said, you need to be pretty sharp to tell a fundamental lie consistently.

That’s Jedward... the daft twins. Who are you getting them mixed up with?

zanahoria · 04/04/2021 16:28

disappointed with Jedward, thought they were a bit more high brow than that

Taken from Owen Jones' patreon.

The corporate media has failed us. It's time to build something new.I'm launching a new video channel, including a weekly Sunday show with incredible guests, as well as regular mini documentaries, interviews and vlogs.

This will be a channel which challenges the powerful, confronts injustice, fights the far right, and looks for alternatives. We'll also debate the other side - and have a laugh.

But I need to hire an incredible team - videographers, editors and producers - all on a union wage - to make this happen. Without your support, we can't do this.

This will be your channel: we want you involved every step of the way.If you want to challenge the right-wing grip on our media and give a platform to incredible voices and ideas, please give your support!

A rather inspiring call-to-arms.

There was a time in my life when I would have subscribed to his channel immediately (look, he's older than me- I admired him!), but even then I think an appearance by Jedward would have given me pause. Incredible voices? They can't seem to handle appearing on the Big Fat Quiz of the Year.

Hopefully womb transplants for trans women will be a thing soon, cos it'll be so much fun watching bigots imploding when a trans woman offers to be a surrogate for a gay couple

In an ideal world womb transplants would be banned- for all women and trans women. The infertility industry is vile. It's a great pity in vitro fertilisation was ever permitted.

@SapphosRock

As a married lesbian with two kids conceived by sperm donation I can give a bit of insight into why OJ May struggle to find a lesbian couple to co-parent with.
  1. Lesbian couples have access to sperm banks full of donations from handsome, intelligent Vikings
  1. Lesbian couples who conceive via sperm donation are both legally able to be on a child's birth certificate as parents. A co-parenting agreement with a gay man would mean the lesbian partner who doesn't carry the baby would have no legal parental rights.
  1. Owen Jones is a twit.
Brilliant, SapphosRock

Actually, there aren’t enough 🤣🤣 in the world for that post.

Thank you, Shizuku, you absolute gem!

ArabellaScott · 04/04/2021 16:05

Jedward?

If they're busy, maybe The Cheeky Girls could discuss Corbyn's comeback tour?

PotholeHellhole · 04/04/2021 16:02

Nope, Tinsel. They're so not British that they've represented Ireland twice at Eurovision. Grin

@PotholeHellhole

If anyone is considering co-parenting with Owen Jones, I beg you to consider this set of tweets from yesterday.

Jedward! All because they abused Rosie Duffield the other night, suddenly their opinion on the Labour party is presumed to be of value.

I don't think they're even British?

I am reminded of the time I read about the world's first test tube baby and thought she had literally been grown in a test tube.

@Floisme

Shizuku did you really just try and use an article about a woman receiving a womb transplant as evidence that it will soon be possible to implant an entire reproductive system in a transwoman?
Yes. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Never mind the actual baby though eh?

So its probably already been said but some of the issues that arise if a womb transplant could in fact happen,
Shit loads of drugs to prevent the body rejecting it which would pass to the baby.
The womb itself having to be removed after a pregnancy whether successful or not.
A caesarian section every single time because of course.
No way yet of faking a placenta, you know the bit that's actually needed probably more than the womb.
Humans have only just started looking at issues arising from adoption and surrogacy in the child, by the time this might happen I suspect even surrogacy will be verboten.
Some actual wombs to transplant, theres a huge waiting list for the usual transplants why would this be sent through when life saving transplants aren't done for lack of donors among other reasons.
If it came to pass then it would need to be younger women who gave up a womb, will they need to have had children already to prove theirs works and to ensure they have a child? Will it only be unused wombs? Oh the questions.

GreyhoundG1rl · 04/04/2021 14:58

It's already been done with women who don't happen to be trans
Sweet Jesus Confused
Biological women (who by virtue of this, have the entire internal plumbing already in place). Not biological males.
If you can't see any difference there you're really not fit to do the sort of arguing on these threads that seems to entertain you so much.
Which probably explains why nobody bothers to listen to you, and makes me doubt your motives.

ArabellaScott · 04/04/2021 14:57

the logic made surrogacy look like something out of Gilead when applied. yes, indeed. Funny, that.

Not content with experimenting on kids, TRAs want to experiment on the unborn

LacyEdge · 04/04/2021 14:49

A family member and her wife did this with a gay friend. It may or may not stun you to learn that the lesbian couple do the lion’s share of absolutely everything, a few years down the line.

Most arrangements of this nature are set up with long term friends. Does the dad-to-be not have any suitable uterus-possessing friends to ask?

Justhadathought · 04/04/2021 14:49

Women who don't happen to be trans' so that would be.... Males

i think that they might actually mean women/females. Confusing isn't it.

Mugginyouleftrightandcentre · 04/04/2021 14:49

Oh yes, sorry, I was getting my males and females mixed up, I was so Hmm at 'women who don't happen to be trans'!

MissBarbary · 04/04/2021 14:48

@EdgeOfACoin

It doesn't have to be a lesbian woman either does it? Single women who want 9 but not a relationship look for gay men to father children, and lets not forget surrogacy for same six and heterosexual couples and singles.

"Woman"? Do you mean "menstruators" or "uterus havers"?

Or at the very least "cis woman" DisgustedOfManchester.

Don't you see the hypocrisy?

AssassinatedBeauty · 04/04/2021 14:48

"Don't happen to be trans...." that's not an administrative accident. It is a totally different proposition to insert a uterus into a male body than it is to transplant one from one woman to another.
