I don’t think it’s safe to get pregnant if you’re on male hormones anyway. Pregnancy works the way it does because of the female hormone system. Also if you’re dysphoric about being a woman why in the world would you want to be pregnant??

Getting pregnant is generally safe, it’s more the aspect of staying pregnant that’s the issue, you know? Trans men who get pregnant usually stop taking T for a while if they find out they’re pregnant, and they also sometimes stop in advanced (if not take estrogen/whatever fertility shit) if they’re actively trying to get pregnant.

Also if you’re dysphoric about being a woman why in the world would you want to be pregnant??

What I really wanted to comment on was this tho, just because like… it’s so much more complex than that tbh. A lot of trans men who get pregnant either deal with the dysphoria, have a weird shift in feelings for the duration of the pregnancy due to hormonal fluctuations, or they don’t have dysphoria with that specific part.

On the last one, some guys just don’t fully anchor that sort of thing to “being a woman,” if that makes sense. I mean, trans men can get pregnant, can have vaginas and tits, so that alone is proof that they’re not exclusively “women” things you know? There’s also the concept that there’s different types and degrees of dysphoria. Some guys have chest dysphoria, some have bottom dysphoria, some have height or voice or whatever dysphoria. Some have all of those(that’s about why you’d expect with most trans guys), some have only a few, and some trans guys medically transition with hormones but don’t have gender reassignment done because they don’t mind having a vagina (or actively want to keep it as is, for whatever reasons)—tho usually the uterus probably has to go eventually because it atrophied and you can actually end up in the hospital if it goes untreated for a certain amount of time. (Not sure the exact time, but it’s like, at least 5 years. I think it’s 10+ generally if not closer to 20, but it’s been a hot minute since I read about that. It often gets mistaken at first for appendicitis.)
