Stephen Theaker Retweeted Evan Urquhart
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 …
Stephen Theaker added,
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.
During a trans male's transition? Yes, it's part of informed consent.
No worries, I wasn't offended. Trans men are counseled that hormone therapy likely reduces fertility over time, but one can most likely cease treatment in the first 2-3 yrs and become pregnant afterwards if one wishes. Some doctors may say hysterectomy is advised after 10 yrs.
Many cases/laws that seek to increase gatekeeping or criminalize trans medical care reference infertility as a reason trans men shouldn't be allowed to consent to treatment. This has resonance with/implications for cis women that you're clearly already familiar with.
