I haven't written anything about the big "pregnant transsexual man" story because I have a bit of contempt for the international media with a big song-and-dance about what is an immensely personal decision. Why should a man feel somehow obligated, as some people seem to expect him to, to forsake the biological functions given to him at birth while affirming who he is through transition? A transsexual man, tragically, still cannot inseminate a woman, so the smug, lingering idea that somehow a transsexual man should be allowed neither the ability to give birth nor the ability to inseminate is insensitive and bigoted.
