Of course they are not men though are they? Think this might be an old story, but it popped up in my feed again today. It’s our friend Sally Hines again.

This is not a project about getting best care for a small group but about a complete paradigm shift in the concept and language of reproduction.

To be clear, I'm not ignoring the fact that Sally thinks this is a chance to force change on language of child birth and take more glorious steps towards erasing women (as PP points out)- I just think she's so useless that it will have no effect beyond what I describe above.

She already has an enormous output of similar bollocks, but it's so uninteligable that it's not used beyond woke sound bites. We are lucky that almost nobody remotely competent in their mendacity has jumped on the bandwagon- yet.

This is like a study of how to break things that aren't broken and then make them work again. It just seems morally wrong to me to take testosterone and then get pregnant. God knows what that does to your poor baby.

What utter bollocks. No man can give birth. If a trans man does so it's because he is biologically a woman. Although I am still baffled by all this... if someone is a trans man, that is feeling they are not a woman, and distressed by being perceived as a woman, then why become pregnant and give birth? That is surely the ultimate 'proof' that one is a biological woman. The phrase about having cake and eating it comes to mind.

Ha. Yes, pre- and postnatal care is already stretched to the limit but sure go ahead and spend valuable resources finding out more about the sensitivities of that 0.00000001% segment of the population, trans men who are willing and able to get pregnant Hmm

Yeah its infuriating isnt it . I mean getting your cronies to attack every organisation/company etc erase language, remove services and call everyone derogatory names whilst simultaneous giving birth or writing entire talks about your dick.

The most stereotypically male and female Things ever. I mean at least have the decency to take it seriously Hmm
