Assuming you FTMs had the ability to be pregnant just like a typical woman... would you want to be?


Personally, I could never be pregnant.

The idea of another human being taking up residence in one of my internal organs for 9 months freaks me out. 

30 years ago I might have thought about it.

no. i've always been scared to death of it.

no way jose! 

No because personally I would then be a woman and the mother.

I have nothing against other men doing it.

I just couldn't

yuk! no way

being pregant is for women

Ugh, no thanks. Not for me.
If I ever change my mind (right now I don't have plans to include any kids in my personal equation,) then there's plenty of already-born kids who need homes.

I agree with the two posts above this one.

If I wanted to get pregnant, I wouldn't have put my eggs through the testosterone wash they've been swimming in for quite some time now.

No. I would want to be a father..not a mother

As much as I would like a kid...I just can't even fathom pregnancy...and birth...how do women do it? I can't even think about it...eugh

Nothing is going in or coming out of that hole.

Yes exactly how I feel.

I hear that!

I have been.
While I have no objection to people getting rid of unwanted pregnancies.. I got guilted by family not to..

It was the worst experience of my life..
Second only to the actual birth... which.. gods.. there are no words for the pain! Seriously! I've had kidney stones since, and it was about 10 times as bad as that!
And then there's the scissors...
they still give me nightmares!

I love my daughter, but !!!!!!!

Never again! NEVER!

"Cut for an even stitch, or just let it tear up and make a mess of you." Are the options I was given.
They looked like a miniature version of the jaws of life..

They're actually not really supposed to do that. A ragged edge actually speeds up the healing process and sometimes they cut more than they have to..  I'm sorry you had to go through that.

That's terrible, N!

It's stories like that, that remind me why I care so much about the birthing industry as a feminist issue.   It's terrible what they do to people with vaginas in that place sometimes. :|

wasn't me, it was Miniar. i can't even imagine. yep, you'd think after zillions of years, they'd come up with a better way. just goes to show how far we've really got to come with women's (and vagina possessing people's) health care.
