These stories all read like
@TheOnion of yesteryear (now even the Onion wouldn't DARE make fun of the obvious absurdity of this). Reporters/editors genuflect and write long puff pieces, while studiously ignoring some actual news: growing population of desisters/detransitioners.Show this thread -
Pregnancy, nursing, giving birth reduced to a "gendered role," vs a uniquely female physical reality, while the angst of "navigating" that reality is all that matters to US newspapers--along w/trans kid puff pieces which seldom mention the sterilization of those kids.

There have been tough, no-nonsense WOMEN giving birth & raising kids for centuries. Our foremothers were not all delicate flowers on fainting couches. Even today some women work hard until the moment they give birth. The idea that it's all some hyper-feminized "role" is pure BS.

Has anyone noticed that transgender identified males "transwomen" make the news for sports, business, and politics while transgender identified females "transmen" make the news for having babies? That is misogyny!

...while having plausible deniability, because after all it's a MAN (or an Enbie) having babies, not a woman.
