I appear to have been booted from a midwifery Facebook group for sticking my head over the parapet ! Someone posted a repost from badass birthmother of a transgender man birthing . There was lots of awwwws and how wonderful . I appear to have been removed , not entirely sure of the circumstances as I was driving to work but I commented that I didn't get was was so aww amazing and newsworthy about a biological woman doing what millions do every day ( every birth is amazing but it was the context of the pictures and the comments that this was something really super dooper amazing and special ) There was one your a transphobiecomment than I was removed it seems .
I can't get my head round this , these are midwives and wannabe midwives .... they can't seem to understand I believe that no one apart from a biological woman can birth ! I don't care if the parents identify as men , women or llamas is they are happy and their child is loved and cared for crack on and I will refer to them how they wish to identify but the only person who possibly gave birth to that child was a biological woman . Men do not have a uterus ......👀

I'm fairly new to all this TR stuff I have to admit this section of Mumsnet goes way over my head a lot of the time but I'm reading and I'm trying to learn ......FFS midwives though , I'm feeling rather upset for women tonight , their pictures of birth are just standard , identify as a male and it's the best thing ever 🙁
I also took offence to a comment about "jealous Cis women " ( why am I jealous of something I can and have done myself 🧐) but that appears to have been glossed over .
Obviously my views are so disgusting I have been immediate removed , Shame really as I'm always happy for a debate and if I'm wrong then show me but this appears to have been not allowed .

Show me he way here , am I totally wrong in my thinking ? I'm struggling .

This is mumsnet. Surely we can find a pregnant woman prepared to dress up as a dinosaur or something whilst giving birth? Imagine the headlines!

Any movement that celebrates people undergoing surgery to alter or remove healthy body parts is extremely concerning. Is this the person who had a double mastectomy for non medical reasons?
You're not wrong to question this, your facebook group should have explained to you why they thought you were in the wrong instead of just kicking you out.
