I truly didn't know what section to put this thread in, folks. It is certainly not nature, although it might qualify as science. Health and wellness didn't look right either, so here it is , in the place where we can't figure out what belongs here. In any case, I just found this article about men getting pregnant and having a baby. After reading THAT headliner, I had to see what the rest of the story was. Turns out that some of these transgender women, who believed that they were really supposed to be a man, now want to be pregnant and have a baby. Aside from just the physical aspect of this, what on earth are they going to say about the parents ? Is this guy having the baby considered the father of the child since he is now legally a man ? Or is he the mother, since he was originally born as a woman, got pregnant and had the baby ? Sometimes, this world is just too crazy for me....... https://www.rt.com/uk/354090-pregnant-transgender-man-fertility/
This is an old story, I didn't click on the link but he must have had the baby. Probably a couple years already. I think after the attention grabbing headline and all the talk shows he was on, the fact was he was a woman so Can have babies. Edit: I did read the story and see it's just the photo of the guy I saw but the story is about others doing it. I don't know what the child would call her/him? Depends on what the partner is. I would say "Dad" Since after the pregnancy he looks like a man. Maybe just names would be best.
Looked up the guy in the photo and he has 3 children now. Things got complicated when his wife filed for divorce And it's too complicated to repeat but I think the case set a precedent because there wasn't a prior case of a man Giving birth. They did divorce and he remarried.
Well, just thinking of those people having an operation for a change of gender, that's really crazy. And now a woman who became a man is pregnant. I seem not to comprehend, huh. What's happening to the world? Is man so capricious as to do those gender change? And now they are marrying each other - same sex marriage. The first question is always.. who's gonna be on top? That means who's going to be the husband among you and who's going to play the role of the wife. Oh, I'm going crazy with what's happening. By the way, there was this guy who had an operation to have a woman's genital because he is gay and has that dream to be a woman. He actually lived with a man whom he treated as his husband. Actually they lived like husband and wife for the gay guy has a woman's sex organ already. But after some years, the gay guy realized that he is a man, left his husband and had another operation. But this time, it was not easy to re-construct a male sex organ according to the doctors. He had undergone several surgeries but all failed.
Its a crazy world for sure, I've said that way too often ! I don't like how we have progressed (or not) - I'll stay in me cocoon and let them sort it all out (or not) Its all too much and makes no sense to me - the modern world is twisted in its thinking
Ok guys. Now my brains is running in circles. Every since Oprah had the first pregnant man on her show years ago, I have been wondering how the child bearing would go. It is hard enough to give birth to a child as a woman. If a woman has a sex change operation, I would think that person's new anatomy would preclude the birthing process. I understand that that person still has reproduction organs, but I don't understand how the birthing process happens with the new anatomy.
I guess I let my imagination get away from me. Plus I did just spent three days with two, (girl 16 & boy 17), teenagers. Their brains are in a different place than mine generally is. I never went through that stage, so they kept me on my toes. I think he was a male to begin with. ??? Hmmm ...
I deleted my post, Ina...I got mixed up. I always get a slight headache when I try to figure it out. I don't care what others do, not my business. I understand gay, lesbian, bisexual and I think there are some new categories but I forget what it was And I even understand transgender, it's the partner of the transgender I don't understand.
That must have been hard, I see now with my 17 yr old grandson. When I watch them and he has friends over, some of them are female but not his GF but I still keep an eye on them.
Lol, the moustache threw me and I had the poor man/woman mixed up, realized my booboo when I read Ina's post.
I also just remembered the other term..pansexual. That's a person who can love anybody...male, female, transgender, transvestite. Maybe the right word isn't love but have sex with...I can love everybody too, just attracted to men though.
I apologize to @Yvonne Smith for letting my silly imagines, (they were somewhat cartoonish anyway), run away from the OP. But I could not get serious about it wat back then, and I guess I haven't matured any since. But I find it funny. In truth I think it is not a good idea. Societies family structure has changed so much over the last 50 years. And it is becoming even more so confusing for our youth to understand, much less find structured foundations for their mental and physical development. I fear the day they dispense with marriage altogether. At least I won't see it.
