Unlike lesbians, gay men and even male-to-female (MTF) transsexuals, who have their own boatload of troubles when it comes to becoming parents, many FTM transsexuals forgo genital reconstruction surgery (it's harder to turn an innie into an outie) and thus are left with their female reproductive anatomy intact. Which means, if they're off hormone therapy, they can get preggers and have a biological child.

Hmm.
I wonder if there's a difference in experiences, feelings, etc. between a guy who gives birth while in denial and a guy who gives birth after coming out as ftm?

Very interesting post. That was something that I never thought about. I remember watching a program on the Discovery channel two years ago, and it had said that the percentage was very low for FTM transsexuals that have the operation done. Now I can understand how difficult the procedure would be, but wouldn't a FTM have her reproductive organs removed?
