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.

you know, everyone says it doesn't matter but i bet if they were to actually see a man in person who is pregnant, they would more than likely have to tell a friend, talk about them, and even make fun of them. so, i think that something like this is definitely not something a person could just say, "it doesn't bother me" or "if that's what they wanna do then let them".

as a mother myself, it feel a little bit disheartened because at some point when that child grows up, they have a lot of explaining to do when the child asks why was daddy pregnant with them and not mommy.

a surrogate would've been more appropriate then bearing it himself. because of this, it caused publicity and when the child gets older, he/she will be known as the child who's daddy gave birth to.

but, that's just MY opinion.

nah, i don't agree. if someone see's a pregnant dude, and they say something to a friend about seeing a pregnant dude...that is not the same thing as saying that you "strongly disagree" with it. you said that you personally have a strong disagreement with this, and i asked why you have that.
