AIBU to think this is a bit nuts? Trans woman is being praised online for still working at 37 weeks into her "simulated" pregnancy

[CalmGreenEagle]

I have just read on Facebook about this transgender woman, Gabrielle Darone, aged 32, who simulated a pregnancy last year in order to address "gender dysphoria about not being able to carry a child". She wore a fake belly and simulated morning sickness, breathing difficulties, tiredness and other symptoms. She blogged about her experience and received a lot of praise online for still continuing to work at 37 weeks into her "pregnancy".

AIBU to think this is just crazy? Wearing a fake belly and pretending to have pregnancy symptoms is absolutely NOTHING like the real difficulties that women who are actually pregnant have to go through. Sometimes I think I am on a different planet.

I will say a “simulated pregnancy” is batshit no matter who does it. There are loads of women who will never experience pregnancy (for a variety of reasons) and I would think they were looney for trying to simulate one.

A BIT nuts??
More like plain insanity! I dare say Stonewall will thoroughly approve, though.

Complete with simulated waters breaking and contractions 🙄

I don't know, the whole thing reads 'troll' to me. The long written explanations seem designed to wind people up. It's not hard to set up a fake facebook account and wind people up for fun if you're bored. How often are we taken in by troll posts on here?

fake belly and simulated morning sickness, breathing difficulties, tiredness and other symptoms.

So he never simulated pregnancy, he simulated a obese person with a tummy bug

Fucking ridiculous. The people giving compliments have lost their
minds.

I know a few trans people. They all think Darone is insane and don't actually agree that s/he is even trans.

It's Facebook rage bait, is all.

I guess all the people who normally highlight appropriation were the ones all over it.

Not crazy, just fucking pathetic.

It's not a bit nuts. It's completely batshit.

Maybe you should ask his wife and kids.

Or the bereaved mothers who objected at his inclusion in their support group who found themselves cut off from that support as a result?

Good grief! This, obvs, is mental illness, pure and simple and needs to be treated as such.

His blog is there. There's enough detail in it to think not troll and poor wife and kids.

I remember this from a few years ago. I don't know whether it's true, but there are enough substantiated accounts of gruesome piss-taking by trans identified males supported by fawning enablers of both sexes that I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

Well, if a man attempted to have a five year old child suck his nipples, I wonder what you would call that?

Good grief, that's utterly crazy. Who are these numpties going along with this nonsense. They need sectioning - not only the "trans" person, but all those who are facilitating and encouraging it.

@AlexisPandaa baby could be harmed by ingesting the toxic chemicals this man has used to induce lactation.
I not another Panda user name defending TRA.
Stop with the ‘nothing to see here’, this should concern all right minded people.

Fucksake.

Imagine being a workmate of his who has actually endured a still birth or late miscarriage

This is what all women are facing if we don't all stand up and say no.
Breastfeeding and maternity groups worldwide are admitting men with this fetish into their groups.
His pleasure is women's hardships.

They need sectioning not being put on social media.

Him, his, he. He’s a man

Gonna break it to you softly but this IS trans rights.

I read something very relevant to this yesterday: "Why should I accept your claimed identity when you couldn't accept your own?"

He. This is a perverted bloke.

So what drugs did he take to simulate contractions in an organ he doesn't have in his body?
