    Not a cis privilege. It’s a “women who haven’t had vaginal surgery” privilege, of which trans women are likely a small portion.

      Ahh, fair point. I intend on getting a self-lubricating vagina and an orchiectomy (necessary too if uterus transplants were to be opened up to trans gals too!), not sure if that would change anything. Maybe there are more advanced methods nowadays.

        I keep telling Penn state they can have mine but I think they’ve put the program on hold until the US gets a fucking grip on the whole abortion thing. Fertility treatments as a whole can result in some seriously high risk pregnancies and idt any of the doctors involved want to get stuck caring for a woman they doomed by helping get pregnant with a pregnancy that’s now going to kill her and there’s nothing more they can do about it.

          Well, I don’t know how to read that comment - but I don’t care what one thinks these doctors would think - I care that we combat fascism. I want abortion to be accessible for everyone and for me as a trans woman to be able to actually get pregnant, thanks. My body, my own decision.

          Why can people be antivaxxers and die due to not vaccinating, but I cannot get pregnant and carry with a safe, extant protocol? It’s outrageously unfair, and should be the other way around.
