I struggle to understand some people's decisions, but I think I'm fairly tolerant as long as what they do doesn't harm anyone. However, I'm having trouble getting my head round a recent event in the news - a pregnant man.
The background: a post-op transgender (woman to man) still has a womb and has become pregnant by artificial insemination.
Now, I can just about accept (although not quite understand) that someone might honestly believe that they have grown up in the wrong body. Whether this is mental or physical, I don't know and I wouldn't presume to judge. However, in this particular case I am stumped.
Let me get this straight. You're convinced you should be a man, so you've gone through the mental and physical trauma of changing your body to reflect this. Now you're technially a man - you look and sound like a man and you're finally in the body you feel comfortable with.
So what's the first thing you do as a man? Get pregnant of course - arguably the least masculine thing it's possible to do.
Jeez, make your mind up.
