If you are mtf would you like to be pregnant?

[lizbeth]

I said no. I'd like the ABILITY to carry a child full term, but I really don't want kids. I'm a very selfish person and couldn't see myself sacrificing so much for a child. I know, that's a horrible thing to say, but it's honest.

[cindybc]

Elizabeth hon no that is an option, nothing to do with being selfish. I have known a few women who chose not to have kids until much later in life, or not at all because of career and such. Or as some have said, they would sooner not bring up a child in such a cruel world.

Either way is a good choice  as I see it. There would be no sense in bringing s child into this world unless it was to love and care for that child, and to be proud to be the mother of that child. But if for whatever  reason, your life does not include rearing children, then why conceive one?

I on the other hand could not have my own children for obvious reasons so I had then in my care 8 vicariously and three my own. I did it because I love children and for those years I had them under my roof they were all that I truly lived for at the time, they were a good part of my life.

If it would have been possible to have personally given birth to all 11 of those children I would have been proud to do so. Have any idea how it feels to be walking down the sidewalk of your home town with three or four children in tow like a proud mommy duck and her ducklings.

Sometimes I like the idea of having a kid. Othertimes I kinda fear how they'd turn out with such a weirdo as their parent.


I like the idea of being fertile and whatnot, but I doubt I'd ever get kids. Maybe when my career was totally over and there was nothing left on this earth for me to accomplish, I'd then turn to biology and love hormones to preserve my horrid legacy.

Yeah, I'm terrible.

[cindybc]

Your not terrible hon, or least ways not if you don't want to be. You are a beautiful looking child with a lot of potential at her disposal if she desires to take and do the best she can with the gift she has been given.

I don't think there's anything wrong with not wanting children...   Don't feel guilty or ashamed.

I feel much the same way as Eliza and Kara.  I love kids, I have a lot of patience with them and I think they're adorable, especially when they're little babies.  But to actually take care of one 24/7, and have to actually be a mother...?  That's a lot different from babysitting for a few hours at a time.  That's so much responsibility, and it feels to me as though it would take over my life, since having kids has never been something I looked forward to or even wanted.  Unless something huge changes in what I want out of life, I don't want to have kids.  The last thing I would want is to feel bitterness toward an innocent child who would deserve the absolute best I can give.

Even if I did want kids, I could never give birth.  I'd be quaking in fear of the pain.  But I admit, I am very curious about how being pregnant must feel.

Re: If you are mtf would you like to be pregnant?

No I wouldnt.  Kids are a great responsiblity and you cant get a refund or send them back.  Dont think I could ever give my kids what they deserve.

[Sandy]

and you cant get a refund or send them back.

You can't??

-Sandy(*oops!*)

[cindybc]

Don't send them back, send them to me. 
Just let me know ahead of time so I can stock up in diapers, milk bottles and formula and all those cute little outfits and of course baby toys. Makes me wish I was in my early thirties again.

I doubt a refund, but you can turn them in more or less.  SafePlace and other programs take babies that no one wants so that they are not just abandoned.

[deviousxen]

Well... We could use babies as a power source like the matrix. Make rows and rows of babies to power us into a bright future.

Not at all the best upbringing for a child.

[tekla]

Half the parents I've ever heard about were not all that good an upbringing either.

[Kaitlyn]

I'm reminded of something I heard recently...

"What good are creatures smaller than me if I can't eat them?"

[BunnyBee]

So much so that I try not to think about it!  . 
tink

Me too =(((.  I compensate by adopting kitties.  I'm well on my way to crazy cat lady I'm afraid =/.

[fwagodess]

I have to be honest here, I know I have the right answer, but I can give this a try.

• you have to have a uterus and take anti-rejection medication.
• you'd have to undergo a C-section.
• I wouldn't be surprised if that happens within the next 20 years.

I did hear from a conversation in 2007, that they are doing research for "pregnant M2F's."

Didn't that happen to someone long ago and that M2F died?

When the time comes, I won't mind.

Where my people are united, nothing shall be beyond them. Some day in the not to distant future, Through advanced medical science, healers may appear to perform healing like magic.

Believe it.

[SarahS]

Yes...to term.  To be a mother (and wife) is a dream.

[Kimberly]

Meh, pregnancy is a means to an ends.
Children are precious. Beyond precious. Painfully so.

[janetcgtv]

yes and i wish that with srs that they also implant additional organs like a uterus,ovaries, and falopian
tubes

Unless I was born Female where i would be very happy

[Evolving Beauty]

NO way!!! I hate kids and I hate having them. They are just an effing burden. What's the use having them when one day they will finally leave you. I often curse my dad for 'creating' me and then abandoning me for what I am.

As much as I hate being trans I think the only blessing as a trans woman is not being able to bare a child. I feel SAFE and relieved from that burden.
