"THE PREGNANT MAN!"
Work this out with me, will you? So like, first off, if a woman decides to become a man, but chooses to keep her reproductive rights, then she's not as much of a man as she is a REALLY butch lesbian. So why the big deal? I know really butch lesbians that have given birth. Some while chopping wood or whatever manly things butch lesbians like to do. None of them identify as men because they don't mind being chicks, they're just a little more butch than most.
The whole concept of cysgenderism or transexuality was completely foreign to me until I came on eljay and since then I've befriended a good handful of gender switchin' babes whose world is filled with binders and savings funds for future operations. Which, to each their own, right? I'm still learning and Lord knows I have a long way to go, but ultimately, if your a chick that wants to be a dude I can't really change your mind. But y'all? Why the double dipping?
Honestly, if you're a chick who is going to be a dude, I need you to be a dude all the way, and that means forfeiting those reproductive rights. This goes for guys too, you wanna become a chick? Whatevs, but off with the frickin schlong. If Alexis Arquette can do it so can you (and he had a nice one)! I don't know, I think the whole spectacle is completely insulting. This is not a straight couple we're dealing with, it's a freak show parading as the new gay. It's not a straight couple, this is not Junior, it's a lesbian couple deciding to have a baby! Or at the very most it's an alternative couple, but it's not the new face of straight marriage, or every woman's dream realized or whatever the headlines want you to tell you it is. It's... a lie.
Which is why I'm talking about it now. It's something that's completely baffled me, the strange fascinating attention being paid to this lie. And you know now that it's on paper and I'm seeing it outside my head I'm thinking that it's less about the problem I have with it in general, and more about the problem I have with the reaction. There have been some supportive comments, some hateful ones, but what's the point if no one will talk about it? What did this "pregnant man" teach us, or show us that we take away? Where's the message, the lesson, the comeuppance? It's so flash in the pan and here's pictures of the baby girl, and here's their nursery, and here's what their neighbors think, and it's so fascinating (but why?) and controversial (but why!?).
I don't know, and more importantly I'm not sure if I want to find out.
I want to keep the comments to one post sooo...
