A transman has posted videos and photos of 'his' pregnancy on Tiktok.

I commented saying I am entitled to my opinion but being a transman means you make a choice to live as a 'man' but only females can be pregnant and birth a child.

I've been blocked for being 'ignorant'.

I'm not wrong, am I?? Only females can be pregnant. Dress it up as you like but saying you're a bloke, growing a beard with whatever hormones you're taking, does not make you a pregnant male - you're a pregnant female with a womb, ovaries and everything a male doesn't have in order to carry a child to term.

You're not wrong. I wouldn't post it on someone's TikTok though because they are never going to agree with you in that kind of forum. They're after praise, validation and attention. Best thing to do imo is ignore.

I really really doubt that there are many people who genuinely believe that people can change sex and that it's possible for a man to become pregnant. They know that transmen are female because you have to be female to be a transman in the first place.

As a female, of course they can get pregnant and have a child? It's about sex not gender identity.

I think there's a difference between addressing an actual human being on their TikTok about their own life and addressing the issue more widely.

Think it's OK t block someone in that case.

No, it's only just happened. Obviously not just to me then.

It's just ridiculous. Cake and eat it, springs ro mind.

Did you post this already somewhere? I fully agree with you however the world seems to have gone completely insane with this stuff in recent years and we really need to get back to normality.
