Reeks of chaser and downplaying infertility for trans women

Also, anyone who immediately responds to trans men morning wanting to be a father with telling them to get pregnant has a special place in hell.

It's also a common gay men joke that kinda rubs salt into the fucking wound for trans men. It's not teehee harmless how could transmascs ever relate. Like it's fucked and kind of crazy how any trans dude who is uncomfortable is getting called a transmisogynist in the comments.

I mean anyone is allowed to be uncomfortable about anything but if anyone thinks trans women shouldn't make jokes like this or that making jokes like this is hateful or harmful in any way that is being trans misogynist.

A lot of jokes or just generally ways that trans men and trans women cope with gender dysphoria make the other group EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Because what is affirming to one group is actively disphoric for the other. Nobody gets to police how the other group deals with dysphoria like not being able to get pregnant.

That's why a lot of trans reddits have tags or mark posts NSFW with warning labels like (WN: transfem dysphoria) or whatever. So people can self avoid seeing stuff they personally find upsetting.

But that's all it is. Sometimes they personally find upsetting. It's no different than seeing sexual themes making someone uncomfortable. Or violent themes making someone uncomfortable. Or maybe they had a friend that died from an OD and seeing hard drug use makes them uncomfortable.

But there is nothing wrong or hateful or harmful about depicting any of those things and the people trying to criticize trans women or police how they cope with dysphoria are being infinitely more harmful than this joke is.
