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.

This!

Yes it's true..When he was still living with his estranged wife AND CHILDREN, supported in a breastfeeding group (!), he faked a pregnancy and still birth due to his sexual fantasies - the children of transitioners wrote about it, as an example of how children of transpeople need safeguarding from these men, including when it's their own father:

See Arabella’s post upthread - it’s not fake. And as we have pointed out, there are lots of similar men doing this sort of thing.

Yes, I had thought so; but from some of the responses, it became apparent that it wasn’t to everyone, hence I eventually felt I should clarify.

It's totally batshit!

@Benjaminbraddock The evidence of his own posts/ lies are in the link above- here again

It's awful children and women in breastfeeding groups are not being protected from these wierd and scary men

😆

who the fuck is indulging this nonsense

Fucking hell.
i hate it and have to be careful where i say this.
Dystopia here we are.

Being labelled a TERF no longer seems insulting.

Absolutely. I’d have liked to think that these views were passing out of fashion but witness the efforts of Kirstie Allsopp on TwiX. If she was any more of a handmaid she should be wearing a red cloak and white cone bonnet.

I really can't tell anymore!

This man and the others like him, who have gatecrashed numerous women's online support groups, are sex fetishists. That used to be something people did behind closed doors, as it disgusted most people. Now it is celebrated and we are ordered to respect the sex fetishists and give in to their demands.

What I can't understand is why some women encourage these men. They say they are being kind. But their subservience to sex fetishists causes real harm to other women and to children.

All we can do is refuse to play along. I now challenge this ideology at every chance I get, and as I'm not an employee I can't lose my job. Speaking up has cost many people their jobs and their livelihoods in the past, and even put their lives in danger, so I understand why you have to be careful. But more people are waking up to the reality of trans ideology all the time. And the more of us who speak up, the more other people get the message.

The world is completely messed up is all I can say.

I mean it takes a lot of grit to keep up with those shenanigans on for 37 weeks so I guess it deserves celebration 😂.

@LeftieRightsHoarder well said. Am so grateful to everyone who speaks up. A few years ago most women didn't, and it's only recently things have started to change.

If you think thia is bad, maybe look into Stefonknee in Canada who ids as a 6 year old.

And lives with a family with kids where he has his own dad. And yes he is in his 50s, possibly 60s by now.

But hey 'trans rights'

Who the hell employs him? Completely sick.

She should remember that lots of bio women aren”t able to experience pregnancy either. It’s not an automatic part of being a woman, nor is it a right.

It's not often I'm lost for words. This behaviour & those who have publically supported him have rendered me speechless.

Isn't it strange that if a woman had faked a pregnancy, faked a still birth and asked other women to borrow their baby so she could breastfeed it to get over her grief, they'd be rightly called mentally unwell and possibly dangerous...

But if a man does it, it's something amazing, brave and wonderful 🤔🤔🤔

No no. Don't you understand, he knows exactly what it's like to be a woman and carry a baby and suffer the trauma of a still birth.

He won't remember the fact that babies aren't a right, because he has no concept of anything other than what he thinks being a woman is .... Obviously we all wear skirts, heels and have babies....

The world has gone to 💩 and the craziest are running the asylum.

YABU to call this 'a bit' nuts. It is completely batshit insane.

Honestly OP, if you can see this is wrong and still insisting on referring to this man as “she”, you’re a big part of the problem.
