transHi Friends,
My name is Shawn and I'm 23.. I happen to be pre-everything and not by choice. I do plan on transitioning and would have done so yesterday if it were possible. I really don't know how to word this or if it's even a question.
I'm still in school and will most likely graduate in two years. Yesterday I came up with the notion that maybe I should indeed give birth after I graduate. To think that, to me, was insane. I never viewed myself as ever giving birth because of a few reasons and the main one was because of me being Trans. Would this make me a hypocrite for using the parts that I hate so much for this one thing? Could I even stand to postpone my transition for another two years? Am I being selfish in being male and wanting to have a baby? Would I feel trapped being a dad at 25/26 on my own? [even though I do have a girlfriend at the moment] Again to even think about it is insane to me. I do have time to think about it of course, but then I think about transitioning and I want that so much.
I know freezing eggs, surrogate mother or maybe even a wife could be a possibility, but extreme large sums of money are always an issue. And really who has that? Especially a person with the large bills of transition.
If anyone has done something similar or anything.. It would be great to hear your story. Thanks.
