Though I do think theres a place to talk about how in fiction/fanfiction, a lot of writers handle trans men weirdly involving pregnancy, I honestly refuse to engage with some people arguing against writing trans male pregnancy (as a trans dude HIMSELF who would rather die than have a baby) because the way they talk about it is so gross.

Some people talk about trans men being pregnant in fiction is the most disgusting thing alive or that ANY form of writing around it is immediately steorotypical/fetishizing trans men. From an angle I could get this because of how trans men can find pregnancy incredibly dysphoric (though I dont think calling any form of pregnancy disgusting is that good), but I think I just gave up seeing them going after TRANS MEN who are writers/fanfic authors and accusing them of fetishizing themselves, begging for cis attention, or ignoring that that dude is trans for the sake of their argument.

I agree that I wish trans men in fanfic and media were more diverse and that there were more ideas around us than things such as pregnancy, there are REAL trans men out there who CHOSE to be pregnant. Seeing this in fiction isnt automatically fetishization. Its also not very productive to call a couple with a pregnant trans dude "basically straight" no matter how much you hate a certain headcanon or writing choice. And no, I'm not telling you to go out and force yourself to read every single thing ever involving a pregnant trans man.

I literally say this as someone outspoken about how trans men in media/fanfic are categorized sometimes.

Tldr; Trans men being pregnant in fiction isn't automatically the worst thing ever.

ok ok i KNOW. tboys getting pregnant in fics is technically mpreg. HOWEVER. i prefer it to mpreg. because then theyre seen as a man with a baby. than a science experiment or a fictional ideal.

can you hear me. are you listening.

For the last 5 years I was so sure that never ever in forever I'd want a pregnancy. Pregnancies are so heavily associated and connected to womanhood in society, that as a trans man I always despised the thought of it.

Now that I've started planning my hysterectomy (uterus begone surgery) I kept feeling a kind of sadness in knowing I will never get to have biological children. And I thought:

If I lived in a society in which it was socially and biologically normal that both men and women carried children, would I then want to bear children myself? Yes, probably without a doubt.

So why let some stupid rule society made stop me? It never stopped me before. Society already tells me I'm not a real man because I'm trans, carrying children won't worsen that actually.

I decided to not get a hysterectomy. At least not in the near future. I'm still only a teenager, I want to keep this option open for me

Just something I've been thinking about

So there’s a flippin hero out there being a better man than anyone and I can’t describe my awe and support for him. He made a follow up video explaining that he did not out the boy he was supporting and that he would do the same for anyone dealing with transphobic and homophobic parents. He lost his job because of this. This is why we still need pride
