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.

Absolutely.

And those posters on this thread referring to him as she or her also belong in the category of ridiculous dick worshippers.

It could be my northern slang, but to describe something as "a bit something" generally means "a lot".

E.g. saying "it's a bit nippy isn't it?" when describing sub-zero temperatures, to actually mean it's absolutely bloody freezing.

The cosplaying ghoul got one of those machines that make you feel like you're having contractions for when he went into 'labour'. I remember predicting it would be a short labour when it happened, and I was fucking right.

We reclaimed it.

I am all for trans rights and I appreciate trans people, however I do not agree with simulating periods or pregnancy.

What 'trans rights' are you for, specifically?

I can’t believe what I’m reading. There’s trans rights and there’s absolutely batshit stark raving insanity.

He is not forgetting anything. He isn't considering anything else other than his fetish, which those people calling him she are approving of.

Shame he couldn’t have experienced the whole 48 hours plus, hey?

Absolute cretin.

Exactly.

Yea, didn't get rushed to hospital in agony, wheeled around and various medical staff coming in and out, and talking about you as though you're not there.... Didn't lose pints of blood and then have to put all your pain and discomfort aside and tend to a helpless newborn...

Such thoughtless first world privilege and misogyny from both males and their handmaidens.

Why not?

What's the difference between wearing a fake bump and pretending you're pregnant, and wearing fake boobs and pretending you're a woman?

What a load of fucking horse shit! Jesus what is WRONG with people ! Womanhood is NOT a costume!

People like this used to be carted off to the asylum to be looked after, before Tony Blair closed them all.

He.

Stefonknee is an absolute disgrace. A deadbeat dad who emotionally abused and then abandoned his wife and kids. Also was in a 'little' relationship with a married couple who allowed him to be near their young grandchildren. He used to boast of the sexual exploits that he and his 'bangparents' got up to. A few centuries ago, people like that would have had rotten fruit thrown at them.

That's absolutely batshit.

The mind boggles

What kind of person allows this man access to their grandchildren?

Disgusting.

It wasn't last year; it was a good few years ago. It was ghastly then and it's no less ghastly now. There was quite a bit of fawning then ~ let's hope less so this time around.

Let's all salute Gabrielle the Grotesque, and just listen, listen to trans people.

There's a male trans activist who wants to get a womb transplant so he can get pregnant and then have an abortion because he wants to be the first transwoman to have an abortion.

Not the point of the thread but they were closed long before labour got in.

You’ve got Maggie to thank for that.

HE is an attention-seeking pervert.

Cannot fathom all the pandering to this ridiculous bloke.
