But there are so many unwanted children in the world. Does your child have to have your DNA? Would you love it any less? If you raise a child, it will be yours for the rest of your life, so missing the first nine months or so of its life is nothing compared to spending twenty years raising it.
Please stop telling me that. I know you're trying to help but reminding me that cis women (some of them anyway) can't have children doesn't assist in making me feel any better about it. If I were paid a dollar for every time someone told me that there are cis women who cannot menstruate or have children, my transition would be finished right now. That's how sick I am of being told that.
Also, I said as clear as day in the OP that I didn't want to adopt or go through a surrogate, so yes. I would want my child to come out of
my body (and no one else's) and to share my and my baby daddy's flesh, blood, and DNA. I'm not harvesting my sperm. I want my child to also be a girl.

I would happily take that advice if I weren't living under Section 8 subsidized housing.
Conception and menstruation is something I really want to experience. I want to be born female and be 100% female, full XX chromosomes and all, and to be raised as a girl. And if any cis women are looking at this post, please spare me your "Why would you want to have periods? Having periods hurt," rants. That also does not help me... except in making me angrier. In fact, I'd trade being transgender and the stress that comes with it for heavy menstruation cramps and labor pains, hands down.
The prospect of never getting to experience any of those things is enough to make me want to commit suicide. This is why I hope that reincarnation is a thing. When I die, I don't want to go to Heaven or to Hell. I want to come back to Earth and be a girl and have the 20+ years of my life that was wasting being something I'm not. I know that's for the religion section of this board but... ... ... I don't know, that's just where I am. I don't really want to die, much less kill myself, it's just that this is so unfair and I want to go then come back and start over.
I wish I wasn't born because my existence feels like a waste. I'm alive physically but this isn't living, I'm just merely existing. I feel like the years keep going by and that'll be another year of my life wasting being somebody I'm not and another that i want back. After I complete my transition, I'm still a girl, not a woman. I don't want to be done transitioning in my 30s for that reason. I'm like a teenage girl in a 25 year old's body who's had her life coercively taken from her.
Hopefully reincarnation is a thing, much more choosing who I'll be, and if I'm lucky enough to have both of those scenerios I am NEVER being trans again. I'm just being female in all my subsequent incarnations.
