This world is wack. It’s BEEN wack. This is proof.
We’ve told you stories about “pregnant men” in the past. Keep in mind, none of these are actually pregnant men. They’re biological women who think they’re men. (Although there is talk of womb transplants. I don’t even want to think about that right now. Can we like, find a cure for cancer first?)
Anyway, Daily Mail had an exclusive story out about a pregnant trans-man, Kaci Sullivan. It’s from last year but still relevant given the fact that we now have states like Colorado adding “X” gender options to driver’s licenses. On top of that, people are getting banned on Twitter for daring to acknowledge that men are men and women are women.
She– yes, I’m calling her a she because SHE IS A SHE– gave birth to her second child, although this was her first child she had as a full-blown “man.”
The father is her boyfriend, Steven. So I guess she thinks she’s in a gay relationship? I have no idea.
Of course, the couple is going to raise the baby “gender neutral.” They want it to decide it’s own gender.
Parenting.
In other words, this poor kid is already screwed. But listen up chumps. She doesn’t care.
“Some people have been perturbed by the idea of me giving birth, but I don’t engage or respond to them,” she said. “If I see those comments I just get rid of them.”
I’m not perturbed. You’re a woman. Women give birth. There’s nothing weird about that.
“They will try and find our safe space and violate it with their opinions, but they are jerks. I don’t waste my time or energy by giving them anything in return,” she continued. “Because I don’t see pregnancy as inherently feminine, and because I don’t subscribe to make-believe gender roles, I wasn’t threatened by the idea of pregnancy.”
She doesn’t see pregnancy as “inherently feminine,” despite the fact that it’s a strictly female thing. Men do not become pregnant. Men do not give birth.
“It didn’t make me feel any less masculine,” she added.
Uh…it should. You’re a woman who thinks she’s a man. You became pregnant and gave birth, which is a strictly female thing. It doesn’t matter how you feeeeeeeel. That’s just reality.
But seriously. DON’T ASK WHAT GENDER HER BABY IS. That’s sexual and inappropriate.
“I wish people realized that they’re not asking me about the baby’s gender identity,” she said. “There is no way anyone could know that. They’re asking me what my baby’s genitals look like. This is a creepy question when we break it down.”
Um, no. Everyone has a biological gender. That’s basic information that SHOULD be detailed on your child’s birth certificate.
“We don’t need to be sexualizing little children. Nobody but your child should be revealing their gender,” she added.
So basically, she’s teaching her kid that biological gender is sexual and gross and icky and no one’s business. Cool.
“Our sex and gender identity have nothing to do with socially constructed gender roles,” she said. “These are three entirely separate concepts.”
“The architecture of your brain does not change depending on what color you are dressed in as a baby,” she added.
OMG– BIOLOGY. It’s about BIOLOGY.
This poor child. Lord have mercy.
It’s been almost a year. I wonder if the kid has decided what it identifies at yet.
I so wish that was a bad joke, but it’s not. It’s reality.
