Interesting to read that the author was assigned this idea and struggled to come up with a way to justify it.https://twitter.com/e_urq/status/1364935376708784129 …
That's an unfair reading. The thread clearly says that I struggled with the fertility aspect, which targets trans men far more harshly than trans women, but felt a little outside the scope of the general case I was asked to make.

Nothing about the specific case of trans men being targets for eugenics like fertility measures even more strongly weakens the general case.

In the end I decided to write a second piece about the specific ways trans men's fertility is coerced and our bodies are treated like we're no more than birthing sows, which is to come. I think you'll find it does not weaken the essay I've already written in any way.

Sorry, I'm very old and so struggle with some of this. The eugenics thing I'm completely lost. Trans women cannot give birth, or am I missing something? And if trans men want to give birth, is the problem that they will no longer be able to after treatment? Sorry for confusion
