how do you feel about this? Options

i was watching this show taboo on national geographic, and it was talking about the taboos of sex changes.

now, recently a pregnant man just gave birth to a little girl. (the man was born a woman, married another woman but because the wife had a hysterectomy, he was the one that carried and birthed the child).

how do you feel about their need to be accepted in society but still wanting to still conceive a child?

personally, i have a strong disagreement with this. if they want us to accept the fact that they changed their whole appearance and attitude then that i can do. but if a woman who changes into a man, still has her reproductive organs and then wants to conceive a child, i don't agree with. if you want us to accept you as a man, then that's what you are. but i will not accept you for being a woman, who wanted to be a man, and now wants to be a woman and conceive a child, then i feel that they should be a woman again. you can't have both worlds and expect society to accept you as who you are. unless you're a hermaphrodite.

my view on this is...who cares? i don't care what people wanna do in their own private relationships with each other. it doesn't effect me, who i'm with, or my family so i don't personally see the problem. why do you care what other couples do if it's not harming you?


"society" is too concerned with things that shouldn't even really matter to them personally unless they are somehow involved.

I don't see why people are making it such a big deal about how this is the first man to give birth. I mean, he was born a woman and he still has his female reproductive systems...

But anyways, my take on this? I think it's totally normal. The couple wanted a child, and the only way to have one of their own was for the man to give birth! This is, in my opinion, no way disturbing or wrong. Sure if I saw a pregnant guy walking around, I'd probably be like WTH... but all in all, I think it's completely acceptable.






As for what AsH-lYnn said, I guess what she meant is that homosexuals today are facing discrimination somewhat like what black people had to face back then... but I do have to agree with what the others said. Like Sandra has already stated, it's a HORRIBLE comparison.

And please, don't make a bold statement and then just back out when others disagree. Stand up for and explain yourself. Geez.
