What if I identify as pregnant? Surely we’re not going to be bound by silly notions about the physical presence of a fetus being the determining fact?

@ Screechy Monkey: physical presence of the foetus.
Wow. I just… wow. *shakes head in disbelief*
I can’t believe you just erased parents whose infants were kidnapped, or died, or are being raised by nannies like that.
I mean, I’d educate you, but I don’t have the spoons. Like, do you even hear your hateful colonialist white supremacist rhetoric right now?
Yikes.
*end sarcasm*

I wonder if my plumpness is NOT from my addiction to the evil tropical drug “sugar” but because I am about to birth a litter of Blue-Furred Venusian Dragpnettes?

Screechy, I don’t see why you couldn’t just identify as pregnant. I mean we’ve already had some trans women identify as having periods. It’s only a small step from there.

@ Rob, several trans women have already “identified as pregnant”, one well documented case can be found covered by Graham Linehan, about a trans woman called “Princess Mom”.
I can also think of two others, one called “Kylie Giselle”, the other whose name escapes me.

The ‘Princess Mom’ article is sickening. How warped does a mind have to be in order to want to pretend to give birth to a dead baby in order to live out a fantasy? Then there’s his taking Domperidone to stimulate lactation, and his intention to donate his milk (yeah, stomach-churning) if possible, and his wish to ‘borrow’ a baby so that he can experience breastfeeding. Shockingly, one woman seemed happy to offer the use of her own 5-month-old to help fulfil his twisted fetish.
The only light spot in the sorry tale is when he announces his intention to use a TENS machine to simulate contractions and labour pains, bemoaning the fact that this rules out a water birth. Some aspects of reality can’t be identified away, it seems.

Wow… I’m going to read up on that.
