Gigi gorgeous’s husband is pregnant

[Moneymatters12]

I wasn’t too familiar with with Gigi but I believe she is a trans woman and her husband is a trans man both have retained their anatomy of birth and have undergone IVF to have a child whereby the father (a biological female) be carrying the child.

Im semi GC I guess and don’t agree with having to refer to myself as a person with a vagina, cis and the pushing of pronouns and neo pronouns. But I do believe gender identity to be different (sometimes) from biological sex.

I can imagine this being quite confusing for the child BUT a biological parent is still carrying the child (unlike surrogacy).

this is for discussion not to be hateful to any person or any group

Gaslighting their own kid.

You're not "hardcore leaning into being a man" if you're pregnant.

You're hardcore leaning into being a woman.

You don’t understand how it might be confusing to an onlooking that if you find being termed a woman so triggering or someone using a female pronoun so triggering that it’s a bit paradoxical to then carry and birth a baby?

when I’ve heard trans people talk of being triggered or dysforic it’s more than merely being distressed

Well one is a woman and one is man, and they are a couple. What do you (or they) imagine they are if not hetersexual?

Dunno, don’t know the couple nor follow them, don’t know what they call themselves, maybe it is straight? Dunno

I couldn't care less what they call their relationship, given that both people in it essentially define themselves by calling themselves the opposite of what they are.

I will call it what it objectively is, which is a heterosexual relationship.

Yup I did this too 😂 I mean we should be thankful it was scribbled out I guess

Yeah, I imagine it would carry its own challenges. But this is the quote I was responding to:

This is something I struggle with, too. If your mental health is so harmed by feeling like you are stuck in a body of the wrong sex, how on earth can you bring yourself to get pregnant? How could you not find that disgusting and distressing?

My point is just that lots of people find pregnancy distressing, and do it as an obstacle to be overcome. Obviously some people love being pregnant, as well. I honestly don't struggle with the idea that it might be weird for them, but ultimately worth it on balance.

So, it’s a lifestyle choice you can switch on and off, then.

If you hate the fact you're female, it's very odd to choose to carry a pregnancy

Another thread banished from AIBU I see.

There's a lovely MNetter on here who is a traditionally female looking woman in a relationship with a butch lady, and the partner carried and birthed their daughter. I remember a thread where she commented on how other people's expectations and how being the birthing mum gets tied into female identity being difficult and uncomfortable for them both at times, and people making upsetting comments and assumptions about them and their roles. And that's an actual woman, who is not pretending to be anything else, carrying and giving birth as is normal.

Just to be crystal clear, I'm not saying that being a butch gay lady is like being trans in any way. What I'm saying is that pregnancy and people's perceptions of you as a pregnant person don't always fit neatly and comfortably with your self image. But if you want a baby you just go ahead. I presume that in this one regard something similar applies here.

This thread was started in AIBU. How come it’s now appeared in feminism after seven pages? Did someone ask for it to be moved?

You’re not actually linking to anything. I searched the person you are talking about and I can’t actually see anything about a Gigi gorgeous being part of a pregnant couple on Instagram, so I think you are talking about a hypothetical trans couple. Even if this is based on a real couple, what does it matter? Two people you don’t know and have no idea the lives of are having a child. Happens every day.

Lees be real. You’ve started this thread so you can discuss something that may or may not be true, that you don’t understand anyway. You’re dressing your transphobia up as ‘innocent’ discussion and it’s just not.

I doubt it. All threads on this subject get moved to the naughty corner.

Meh! Attention seeking straight couple have baby.

I only glanced at it in AIBU but the thread seemed to me like more of a fit with celebrity gossip. (I assume MN has a celebrity gossip forum, but I haven’t looked.)

Well Gigi gorgeous Getty is on Instagram and has made a video about the ivf journey she’s taken with her husband, so no they aren’t hypothetical they are real people, in the public domain. There was a thread on here about Britney Spears not long ago too another person, presumably no one on here knows either.

no, I refute that, sorry I’ve not said anything remotely transphobic or even against the couple themselves. Topics are allowed to be discussed. You can’t just shut it all down by crying transphobia

Why does everything have to be a fucking journey?

Google is your friend.

Yes, that’s something I don’t understand either. So trans people feel like they were born into the wrong body, but somehow (in the case of some transmen) they‘re absolutely fine with pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.

🤣 yeah nothing inherently female (or male) about biology. Remind me again, how do we figure out an animals sex?

There's nothing inherently female about pregnancy and childbirth if you change the definition of the word "female" to mean something else completely. 🙃

giving birth isn’t an inherently female thing and just a biological thing

It’s not true though. How often does it happen that a biologically male person gives birth?

therein lies the flaw in that argument (in humans at least)
