I love children so much, I used to think I'd be able to have them naturally. Then I got on testosterone, and I learned more about the whole process the body goes through during pregnancy. I don't want to have my own baby now. What's worse, I had a miscarriage back when I had to go off testosterone... one of the most painful and scary experiences of my life. I didn't even know I was pregnant... my wife is mtf and was on hormones for a year, so we both figured she was infertile. She's not....

If the fate of the world depended on my having a child, though, I'd do it. Look at Thomas Beatie. He sacrificed a lot to be a "pregnant man", and I admire him for it. But if I have any choice in the matter, any natural children my wife and I have will be a result of surrogacy.

No I wouldn't. Getting pregnant completely kills going stealth. It would shove the whole you're-really-a-female thing in your face. And the fact that pregnancy is so closely correlated with being a woman, I really can't see me getting pregnant either. I can quite easily imagine myself with my wife and being the clueless guy not knowing exactly what to do, listening to her stomach, all those things. But not the other way around. If I try to imagine myself with child I rather feel like screaming and running the other direction, as if I could run away from the child within.

I'd be open to being a Dad but there is no way I would ever have a kid. No way I'm passing on my crazy DNA! Camden
