re: transmen giving birth carrying a child, a personal decision, is separate from one’s gender identity. you can be a dad to a child even if you carried it as a baby. you will carry the child for 9 months, you’ll be their parent your whole life. it’s not that complicated. re: blockers are partially irreversible if you *are* trans it’s the least worst option if you don’t have access to hormones. irreversibility is basically minimal, and resumes, mostly, once you start hrt (or natural puberty) it is monitored, people are careful, 15% temporary drops in bone density is a least worst option to let someone live the life they need to live. discrimination against trans has gone from awful to better but still bad, and understand about it has grown. so the proportion of people who are trans who transition instead of repressing (or, suicide, or, trying to convert? like that often works) increases. Recently, discrimination has gotten bad again, because of culture war horseshit, but that’s not going to put many back in the closet.
