did anybody else's mom smoke when they were pregnant with you?

[Natkat]

my mom smoked when she had my brother in her stomack
she quited smoking and have never smoked since when I was in her stomack

im trans and queer and my brother is cis and straight, so I dont belive smoking can turn you trans.

My mother smoked all the way through her pregnancy with me.  It was the 1960s.  Cigarettes were good for you, honest.  If you didn't smoke, you were strange - a social misfit.

I don't think there is even the suspicion that smoking might produce transgender children, although I imagine I'm a little smaller than I might otherwise have been.  As an M2F being smaller has been a positive advantage

My mom didn't smoke, but she developed Diabetes while she was pregnant with me and it didn't go away after I was born.

My mother did smoke up until she knew she was pregnant with me and stopped (and never started again.) She was also given DES in the form of pre-natal vitamins which is more likely the cause of my being transgender than her smoking.

Well, if a smoking mom is related to being TG then just about everyone from the 1930's to somewhere in the 80's has a chance of being TG. The way people carry on about smoking these days it is a wonder I lived to see my 2nd birthday, much less make it this long growing to 6ft, big boned, and in relatively good health, including lungs, growing up a few miles downwind from the biggest oil refinery in NJ in the middle of oil refineries and other smokestack industries.

Yeah, I forgot that back in the day a smoking pregnant woman was not abnormal. derp. I am sure you all are right that they are not connected.

I guess my line of thinking was that a carcinogen filled womb could have contributed, at least in part, to the warping of the genes that express the various biological parts of gender in a developing fetus
