Maternal instinct?

[Marina mtf]

for me maternal instinct was so strong that I did not transition in my 20s because I knew that I would be sterile.
At the time I did not know that I could freeze some semen, but nevertheless I would never be a mother.

The impossibility of pregnancy led me to stay as a male and, I thought, I could be a good parent anyway on the other side.

But my maternal instinct is so strong that my children are very, very attached to me and even if since 2010
they see me once in a week, they still run when they see me, and sometimes they call me "mum". Lol.

I really don't know. I think it depends on the child.

Some are really cute  and I love to watch them playing or doing silly things! If a see a child crying I feel my heart getting shattered into pieces  I just feel the need to comfort them the best I can!!

But I don't know if I would like to have a child...I would be too afraid of not being a good mother/father/whatever  and also I would be afraid of my child changing my life to a point that I can't predict... but... well,  I think this is not an option anymore as I am probably sterile at this moment.

Yup. I've always mothered pretty much anyone. Just a thing.
