re: Transgender man who gave birth says it was 'f***ing awful'

If you find this weird, you're an incel that needs to go back to the poliboard.

A transgender man who gave birth to his son while legally classified as a man has opened up about the difficulties of pregnancy.

Freddy McConnell, 32, who had a child using a sperm donor, claims pregnancy would be taken more seriously if more men gave birth, in a new documentary film, Seahorse: The Dad Who Gave Birth, which portrays his fatherhood journey over three years.

“If all men got pregnant then pregnancy would be taken so much more seriously and talked about,” he says in the film.

He adds: “F***, it’s f***ing awful. If men had to go through this all the time you would never hear the end of it.”

Notice how they keep referring to this mentally deranged woman as a man? Do you think they’d do this in a story about someone with some other mental derangement? Like if I thought I was a grizzly bear and went out mauling people, in the article about what I did would they call me a bear or a man who thinks he’s a bear?

Why should we be expected to accept them when they can’t even accept who they are?

At the risk of being bashed for having empathy I just look at it this way. Life is hard, at times really hard. For folks struggling with gender dysphoria, whether you believe it's real or not, it's gotta be exponentially harder. Therefore I don't want to be a part of making that difficult path worse.

What about people with other mental delusions? If someone thinks they’re the Emperor of Prussia are you going to call them Kaiser? What if your neighbor thinks he’s a dog? Will you not care when he comes and shits in your front yard? The point of all this is we don’t indulge mental delusions by pretending they’re anything other than mental delusions. It doesn’t matter what the mental delusions are.

Well first off we probably won't see eye to eye b/c of the difference in thought on whether it's a mental delusion. The body/mind/etc is pretty complex with all sorts of diversity so why is it crazy to believe that someone can be born with a physical sex and a brain of a different sex. I mean there are people born with ambiguous genitalia and hermaphroditic genitalia. I dont' see the difference.

Also to answer your question fully, I work with cognitively impaired people and those with psychotic delusions so I do indulge delusions on the daily.

This is the equivalent of the whole "gay marriage, what's next, marrying your dog?" takes.

Why do you hate science? Science says there are two genders. Science says you’re either one or the other gender. Science says if you think you’re a different gender from the one you actually are or you believe you’re a gender that doesn’t exist, you are mentally deranged.

---

Your 9th grade biology teacher may have said that but "Science" doesn't really agree, unless your only qualifier is ability to procreate but even that doesn't work for people who don't have the ability. Then you could do it based on genitalia but as stated before lots of people are born with ambiguous genitals or other such ailments. Mainstream scientists look at is more of a spectrum, similar to sex.
