Susan's Place Transgender Resources

Good evening guys and dolls.

I'm trying to get a rough idea whether there's any support for the theory that we as transsexuals (or people with HBS) are nature's answer to population control.

Please answer whether you are MTF or FTM (trying to see if there's a sway in one direction or the other) and also whether you reproduced the old fashioned way or donated sperm/eggs to reproduce.
I included an option for peeps who have not yet reproduced, but plan to.

I don't have kids and don't plan to, and in my case, this is due almost solely to my trans status. Please add any comments or thoughts.
Thanks.

no way, no how.

I'm too young to really reproduce, but I don't plan on doing so anyway.

I have three children.  They are the best.  But I would probably not have had any if not for my mother fixing me up with a friend of a friend and ALSO bringing out an engagement ring a month later.  My Mom had it all planned it seemed.

Before that I had been on 2 dates in 10 years.  It's a long story.

I have a daughter, who has been a delight 99.8% of the time. 

When the anti-androgens first kicked in I thought: Geez, this is wonderful; I should have done this 40 years ago.  Then I remembered my daughter is only 35 and revised that to: I should have done this 34 1/2 years ago. :D

Would I want to have children now, even if I wasn't so ancient?  No.  But I feel eternally grateful for my daughter.

I have One daughter.

2 children mainly to persevere the marriage. The pleasure are not worth the responsibilities.

Yep, I have children. Wouldn't trade any of them for an earlier transition. They are all lights for me in one way and another.

Wish I could have had them grow within me, but that was off the cards. It was nice though to be present and assisting in the births of them all.

N~

MTF, no children. Not anymore possible.

i have three children, one daughter and two boys, no more for me.

QuoteNo, I am FTM and did not reproduce.

At this moment in time I don't wish to have children. If my partner does then so be it. But there is no way on this earth I will get pregnant.

Jay

Three sons and a daughter.  10 grandchildren too.

Looking like we do reproduce regardless. So far nobody's put anything in the freezer.  :laugh:

Yes I have biological children.  Each time I wished it was me that was pregnant, giving birth, etc.

I was jealous of my wife, mad because she could give birth and I couldn't.

Don't get me wrong, I love my children.

So far nobody's put anything in the freezer.

I was too busy making a better life for myself through chemistry to care about saving for something I can't do (parent) with money that doesn't exist (sperm banking) using body parts that don't work anymore.

Two children, and that is plenty.  They will be on their own soon.

You hope!!  >:-)

I have an odd way of looking at children. I don't condemn anyone who has had a child, but I can't bring someone into the world to add to the already strenuous plight of our planet. I'll adopt, if I decide to do anything.

yup, Mister said it best for me. I may adopt later on, but I'm only 19, I try not to think of things like that right now lol

One step son I raised from the age of four and a son and daughter I am half responsible for bringing into this world, the old fashioned way.  Their reaction to my transition has not been good, not at all.

QuoteDo you have biological children?

hahahahahanhaha

1 son and two step daughers I have raised for 9.5 years. They may as well be mine too.

2 daughter and 1 stepdaughter and they all support me even the x

I don't currently have anything in the freezer, but I plan to once I start transition. I'd love to have a family and want to have the option of being biologically related to the children. Though I have no desire to carry the little rug rats. :P

I'm 25, and I HATE children. I figure if the desire to have a family hasn't happened by now, it's not happening. Some people just aren't ment to breed. Needless to say - no freezing for me.

That honesty took guts. Society would shout you down for it, but I salute you! :)

No biological children, 2 adopted so I guess we helped the overpopulation by not adding any more?

Yep I sure do!  Though I am told you can never really resign from being a parent.

Nero, you forgot to add "M2F: None that I know of."

I could have children anywhere between, thinks when did I start drinking heavily?

Crap...math...   unknown number of children between about 3 years of age and about 15 years old.

I have one son... if you can consider infertility treatments "the old fashion way" (it was through intercourse, not IVF). Given the choice to have transitioned earlier in life, I still wouldnt trade him for that option. Course, being divorced, I could have done without meeting his mother...  :D

Although I am 45 (I consider that young), I am comfortable at this point with the idea that transitioning will end any possibility of raising biological kids. But I wouldnt rule out adopting or raising step children with a partner to share my life with.  :)

4 children, 2 boys, 2 girls  (no one warns you about twins)
