I think that pretty few people have actually known a trans guy or nonbinary person who was out while pregnant. It’s a pretty socially uncomfortable situation, and one that sort of points a microscope at many things about being trans. Maybe even among the relatively few of us who exist, most of us don’t want to talk about it because geeze, we’re already going through enough. Pregnancy tends to be really damn hard even for cis women. But I actually do like the idea of talking about this on LW in particular.
