I've thought about becoming pregnant. It's one of the reasons I'm so worried about starting hormones; I've heard all these rumors that if you don't get surgery within 3 years you'll have an increased risk of cancers.
I'm not certain honestly. I guess it's just my paternal instinct mixing in with my teenage hormones but my head is all wishy-washy when it comes to child rearing. Do I want to adopt or do I want a biological child? Should I store my eggs just in case? My ideal is to have two children but, as someone who is most likely aromantic, all this sounds terribly hard.
How will I be able to handle a baby and a job on my own? I'm not the type of father who would leave the baby with someone else either. Those first few years are precious. Once they turn five they can go to kindergarten but before that? Nah.
As a trans man people would react differently to you begin pregnant. Pregnant women get cooed over, pregnant men do not.
I'm also worried about how to feed the child. To me, the only option is breastfeeding. What if I get surgery beforehand? Then I won't be able to breastfeed the child, and wet nurses are hard to come across. Child birth itself is horrifying. I can't handle pain and the only option for me is natural childbirth; I refuse to have a hospital one unless I'm having complications.
If I have kids I'll probably adopt. I'd like to adopt an older child, someone between the ages of five and thirteen. Afterwards if I still feel the need I can adopt a younger one.. But I doubt it. I'm fine with my child being an only child. I was an only child and I did just fine.
