Most of the cash went on champagne that tasted like cherry cola.

Apparently.

From the article...

"Researchers intend to study the ‘practices, experiences, and healthcare needs’ of men who may seek to, or become, pregnant and give birth after gender transition."

You really couldn't make this sort of crap-up if you tried.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds it laughable that people refer to 'men' as giving birth; no amount of pronoun misuse, or right-on psychobabble bulls.iht can alter the basic biological fact that only women can get pregnant and give birth.

How very dare you, deskdiary?!! I do wish you'd take this seriously. ;o)

^^^That's the thing though, isn't it Naomi. We are meant to take it seriously, but not only are we meant to take it seriously, we're meant to believe it as well, and if we don't, then we must be an 'obic'.

I couldn't give a tinker's cuss if somebody feels the need to transition - it doesn't affect me one jot, and if it helps them live a more fulfilling life, then bloody good luck to them, but I absolutely will never be able to be browbeaten into thinking of somebody giving birth as a man.

I agree.
