//Freddy decided to carry his own baby after wanting to start a family, but he faced a highly unusual challenge – he is a gay transgender man.//

I’m truly confused here. Where do a gay transgender man’s sexual preferences lie?

[naomi24]

But ummmm ... his partner has ovaries....

[mallyh]

but if he kept his womb etc how can he be classed as male ?

[ummmm]

That's why he's transgender. The process isn't complete.

Naomi - I assume his partner also has had the procedure. There might be a medical reason for leaving the ovaries behind.

[naomi24]

God! What a ridiculous situation. I feel sorry for the child.

[Tilly2]

I don't feel sorry for a child who is obviously wanted and very well loved. I wish them all well.

[Bobbisox1]

Naomi my head hurts trying to understand the whole thing, haha

[naomi24]

Mine too, Bobbi.

[ummmm]

I don't feel sorry for the child either.

[Tilly2]

I watched all the video and read all of the article. I am confused about his sexual preferences but he obviously loves little Jack very much.

I would like to see the film when it's released.

Is it safe to assume the father will be doing the breast feeding?

[naomi24]

Don't think so, mibs. I assume the father is an anonymous sperm donor. That said, given the absence of breasts, I doubt the person who gave birth to the child will breast feed either.

Funny how we hardly ever heard about Transgender people till a couple of years ago. Now you can't move for them.

[mibn2cweus]

So the father won't be the daddy . . . but the mother will?

[naomi24]

Yes, I think so. And by extension the child will be motherless I presume.

[ummmm]

Spice - That's because they kept it hidden and lived a very miserable life.

Yes, birth mother will be the father but that is neither here nor there.

[naomi24]

//birth mother will be the father but that is neither here nor there. //

It might be here or there to the child.

[Spicerack]

D'you think so, ummmm. I rather doubt it.

[mushroom25]

something like this was explored by folk duo The Kipper Family in their song "Male-Female Highwayman" - the end of the song was reached and the singer said "I still can't make head nor tail of it". :-)sorry, it's not on youtube.

[jim360]

Transgenderism is hardly a new phenomenon. In other cultures it goes back thousands of years.

Just because you weren't paying any attention doesn't mean it wasn't there for you to see.

[ummmm]

That's why education on these issues are important. Children don't really care as long as they are loved, fed and clothed, it's the parents who pass on their prejudices.
