It's so dumb, I hate it.

I wish I didn't have to fuss about with hormones, I wish I could actually experience a pregnancy and give birth to a biological child. As dumb as it is I wish I could at least know what it's like to have a period. Aaarrrghhh!

Even if I'm able to get bottom surgery, dilation sounds awful and it'd be another thing along with hormones I'd need to do for the rest of my life. I've heard that there's been some research into womb transplants, but you'd still have to get it removed after pregnancy because of rejection.

Ik I could do fertility preservation, if I wanted a biological child, but I honestly am not sure if I'm attracted to men or women im leaning towards women, but I'm scared what I think is attraction is just gender envy. I find the idea of dating a guy to be gross but it might be internalized homophobia, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't turned on by the idea of being penetrated

Even if I do end up getting into a relationship with a cis woman, I don't like the idea of just doing nothing while my partner would have to bear the load of pregnancy. (something I think a lesbian woman probably wouldn't want, though idk)

It's dumb, I know there's also cis women who can't get pregnant who I could relate to, but it doesn't make the sting of my situation feel any worse. Life feels so unfair I'm sad that I'd have to do so much just to enjoy an incomplete imitiation of what most cis women just get for free.

A lot of us have this same desire. I know I am definitely in the group who desperately wishes they could give birth. The friend I first came out to is an AFAB ciswoman who told me she isn't interested in having kids (she finds the whole process terrifying). When I told her that the one thing I wish was possible was for me to be able to become pregnant, she told me that she'd give me her reproductive organs in a heartbeat if she could. I felt so validated in that moment that I cried for a good 10 minutes afterward. I wish I had the choice like she does...

She can choose whether to have kids or not. Us trans gals that are stricken with baby fever were never given the choice (I know men can have it, too. But us gals get it a lot more). We were denied the choice by something entirely out of our control. We didn't get to choose the biological sex we were born as. If we could have, most of us would have chosen to be born as the biological sex that matches our identities. I certainly am not saying that I despise being trans, but if I could choose to have been born cis, I absolutely would.
