To think this is a heterosexual couple having PIV sex so it isn't particularly shocking or newsworthy that it resulted in a pregnancy?

Or is having short hair supposed to be a form of contraceptive now? Confused

Well, you've just ensured that the article is going to get a heck of a lot more clicks so the website will think that it actually is newsworthy.

Samcro · 27/11/2018 19:36

What is it about,not clicking a random link

DishranawaywiththeSpoon · 27/11/2018 19:36

You could take out all the identity stuff and just have "26 year old woman has unplanned pregnancy", e.g. are experiencing entirely normal feelings and they can't recognise that. They're identity is so rigid. Like they can't be 'masculine' and cope with their pregnant body. Why not?

The saddest bit I think is the fact they are most excited about coming out to their child! Of all the things you can get excited about having a baby and it's coming out? Why make it such a big part of you?

No idea what that website is but it's hardly the News at 10 is it.

But let the pile on commence....

Narcissist seeks attention shock.

agnurse · 27/11/2018 19:39

I can only imagine how it would be having friends over. "This is my dad and this is my parent." What would the child call her mother? Parent? Her first name?

CigarsofthePharoahs · 27/11/2018 19:40

If you're pregnant you have to be a woman.
Biology, innit?

Yeah, they're confused about what the word 'woman' means.

Helmetbymidnight · 27/11/2018 19:42

That’s hilarious.

Young married woman having sex with husband and planning to have a baby in the future, gets pregnant....SHOCK!

agree - this person must be totally self obsessed. Why would their child even care? Children generally don't want to know anything about their parents' private lives if they can avoid it.

CoughLaughFart · 27/11/2018 19:45

And you just happened to see this article? Completely by accident?

LagerthaTheShieldMaiden · 27/11/2018 19:45

So basically gender non-conforming woman with short hair gets pregnant after having sex with man.

maddiemookins16mum · 27/11/2018 19:53

Baby....womb....woman.

End of.

JudgeRindersMinder · 27/11/2018 19:58

Poor child....

RoboticSealpup · 27/11/2018 19:59

This tells you all you need to know about 'them':

I’ve spent the last 6 years building this love for myself based on my identity, and I’m watching it get blown full of holes. I think I’d be in worse shape if I hadn’t anchored myself by building my identity for myself and myself alone.

Me me me me me me me me me me me me me me. Good luck balancing that with a needy child, mate.

LurkingWaspi · 27/11/2018 20:05

Woman with short hair has baby?
I win. By decades.

BonnieandHyde · 27/11/2018 20:06

Female doesn't conform to 'gender norms' that are stereotyped by the media and advertising agencies - assumes this must mean she is not a woman, nor female.

I feel sorry for her. She believes she isn't her own biological sex simply because she doesn't feel or like 'feminine' things. News flash - not all women/females/people with vaginas like girly things or have 'gender instinct'.

Marketing execs have a lot to answer for these days. They have fucked up a whole generation of people.

Wonkypalmtree · 27/11/2018 20:09

I am sadly unable to have anymore children, I would gladly adopt their child to save it from a life of fucking chaos.

PositiveVibez · 27/11/2018 20:13

Man puts puts his penis in his wife's fanny and she gets pregnant.

Well whoodathunkit!!!

My whole belief system is shook to it's very core.

I mean, it's no wonder they are in such shock.

Kitsandkids · 27/11/2018 20:15

I have short hair and live in jeans and t shirts and don’t own any make up. Does that make me ‘agender.’ I’m also married to a man and got pregnant with him just like this person!

Inertia · 27/11/2018 20:16

Do people genuinely think biology gives a shit what they identify in or out of? The fertilisation process is no respecter of pronouns or feelings.

ichifanny · 27/11/2018 20:23

Trying so hard to be a special snowflake and ending up a basic normal woman like the rest of us .

LokiBear · 27/11/2018 20:24

The saddest thung about the article is how much they resent the baby for their changing body.
