Trans teenage boys are just as likely to get pregnant as cisgender girls, but sex-ed programs don't speak to them...

Honestly I feel that trans boys and men are underrepresented.

I mean trans people are underrepresented in general but I feel that trans men get the worst of it, ESPECIALLY for medical info.

Good job Biden, don't stop now.

To be fair, we do have the benefit that comes with being invisible. It’s an easier life to fly under the radar than to have to fight for common decency with every waking breath.

That said, male pregnancy is seems taboo even among trans men. Not much out there in terms of resources or shared experience. Not a lot of clinical data out there other than like a case study of a Japanese guy who got pregnant on T and delivered an apparently healthy girl and a trend of postpartum depression.

I am surprised that there’s not a single source for gender neutral pregnancy attire. That’s a gripe I’ve heard a handful of times.

I think that would be a lucrative niche business if any of the etsy crowd were to see this thread.
