@matt@radical.town Hey now.
I parked my Lincoln Continental next to my old Boss's Benz, and mused on weather it is better to have the most expensive Ford they made, or the Cheapest Mercades?
He has to take his to the Dealership, and their Loaner car is the same model as his, I fix mine myself and learn a great deal I did not know.
Dysphoria, Pregnancy, Parenting
Could we please separate the dysphoria of “wanting to be a parent” vs “wanting to experience pregnancy and birth.”
One of these things is totally possible for trans women, and one of them is currently not (I hold out hope of a distant future).
And like I find the conflation of the two really disconcerting, and a lot of this has to do with the fact that I AM a mom. I have a kid, and I am one of two moms to that kid. It is totally possible for trans women to be moms, and that can happen in a variety of ways but when people, including trans women, act like it doesn’t count it is SUPER invalidating.
I dunno, this is partially my baggage but I would really appreciate it if we could be more mindful.
