[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Becoming a mom made me feel differently about the difference between men and women. I used to have more progressive attitudes about it, and in many ways I still do -- I think people should be allowed to express gender however they want, I don't care how people dress or present themselves. But I feel more connected to womanhood having gone through pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. I know it's unpopular to say that. I don't think women have to become moms and I'm not anti-trans. But I can only speak for myself here. Going through that made me feel like my womanhood is an essential part of who I am in a way I didn't before. And it also made me feel connected to other women due to our shared biology in a way I didn't used to. Not just other mothers but anyone who shares my reproductive anatomy. So yes, that would mean I feel more connected to trans men than trans women.

Only sharing this here because it's anonymous. I feel like if I say this anywhere else, I'll get labeled anti-trans or MAGA (very much not). But it's how I really feel.[/quote]

That’s honest, but can you push back on your thinking? How would you feel emotionally closer to a trans man with a beard who hadn’t given birth, over a trans woman who understands sexism at work and is in your book club gushing about the hot lead you loved too?
