Glamour magazine - pregnant trans man

[pretendingtobezen]

Apologies if there’s a thread already but as someone at similar stage of pregnancy I’m struggling to articulate my thoughts on this one.

Let and let live vs feeling offended (not even sure that’s the word?!) as at similarly heavily pregnant stage

Yep.

Exactly.

It looks like a story - and I can see why they ran it, but there’s nothing to it.

I’m vaguely interested to know why someone who wants to live as a man would want to be pregnant, but not interested enough to read it.

They would have come off hormone treatment to get pregnant though, and I guess/Hope would stay off it till after the birth

Transmen are female so of course some can get pregnant. Living proof of what? That some transmen (aka females) don't take enough hormones or have enough surgery to make themselves infertile? Goodness only knows what this person thinks actually needs proving but I expect that likes lots of trans people, they are making all sorts of unwarranted assumptions about other people's thoughts and beliefs.

Men identifying as women go on magazine covers with awards.

Women identifying as men are only talked about when they get pregnant.

This infuriates me on so many levels. The promoting of queer theory. The normalising of insanity. The health of that baby that is growing in a woman's body ravaged by testosterone. No one knows how it will affects its health and mental capabilities. The misogyny of it all. The gaslighting in trying to tell us that this is somehow breaking with stereotypes.

I'm so sick of it all.

Ah yes, conceiving and carrying a baby to term, the most masculine thing possible 🫠

Ok then

They do say in the article that they stopped the hormones for health reasons.

His partner is also trans. Yet clearly having sex like a heterosexual couple.

They've had the baby now. They'd stopped testosterone for health reasons when they fell pregnant.

If you read their blog the pregnant was a surprise one and it did trigger feelings about their own identity.

Pregnant should've said pregnancy obviously.
I'm sitting reading this thread on my bathroom floor in between throwing up with what is definitely the worst 'morning' sickness I've ever had, so I'm probs a bit more sympathetic than usual to any pregnant woman at the minute no matter how they identify. Also I've passed a bit of time reading their blog and I did find it quite interesting! I'm now in a bathroom floor rabbit hole reading Julie bindel's interview with buck angel.

I got banned on Reddit as I wrote "only woman get pregnant"

I note this is Glamour magazine and not GQ or Men's Health

Yes, funny that.

It’s just confusing. I read it and thought they’ve really advanced medicine haven’t they!

I think you'll find that they're ALL women or girls.

What are trans parents?

They’ve had their baby now and will make lovely parents I’m sure. But they got pregnant ‘accidentally’ whilst having PIV sex - did they think identifying as a man acted as a contraceptive? Their partner is a male who identifies as non binary and has a drag act where they dress up as grotesque parodies of ‘thick’ working class women - all fake boobs in tiny bikini tops, bad teeth and delusions of grandeur - quite caustic humour and I’ve laughed at some of their depictions even though I know they’re quite cruel.

In one of their interviews they said that they never wanted kids when they were younger, never dreamed they would but are happy now. It made me think about all the other trans men who risked their own fertility because they ‘knew’ they’d never want kids. Funny how things change as you get older isn’t it?

I wish them well and I’m sure they’ll face all the challenges any new parents face. They’ve got massive support within their community and the donations of money and baby stuff is flooding in. Personally, I think they need to step away from social media and adjust to their new future. Hopefully they have the support on the ground beyond the ‘you’ll make a great Dad’ gushing they’re getting on Instagram. I think being on the cover of Glamour Magazine was a bit of a dumb move as it will bring a lot of attention to them - but I guess they feel they need to act as a sort of ‘seahorse dad’ figurehead now. Probably not something they bargained for.

Is her partner a transwoman?
In other words, a man?

Gofield's post seems to have the info.

Proof of what? That Transmen can get pregnant? We know that. This one isn't even the first. 🙄

Non binary male partner

I believe this is knowb as 'spicy straight '?

Tuh.

It’s when Mum tells you she’s a man but you can see right through her.

Nothing about a nude female with clothes painted on says dressed like a boy to me!

Struggling to see what’s newsworthy here. One person puts penis into another person’s vagina and that other person is pregnant. Has happened since time immemorial. Just another pregnant woman.
