“Trans-men” are women who claim to be men. Most of them still have a uterus, and some of them conceive and deliver. One assumes some conceive and have abortions, although there are so few to start with, maybe not.

Got it...I was confused...(not hard to believe)

I took trans-men to mean men transitioning into women...

Since Bruce Jenner was the topic de jour.

I only recently got it sorted out myself. The world has gone mad.

LOL! These people are crazy.

What’s really scary is that the entire “intellectual” and media and political world of the United States has adopted this and doesn’t even expect it to make sense.

"Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,..." Romans 1:22

Read the whole chapter!

“In May, they voted unanimously to stop using the word ‘women’ when talking about people who get pregnant, so as not to exclude trans men.”

I'm so confused.

With "trans-men" are they talking about XY-men who amputated their genitals and can't get pregnant but want to be included in abortion language because it's part of their lets-play-make-believe language of calling themselves women?

Or are they talking about amputated XY-men who don't want to included and resent being included (excluded?) in the group that gets abortions because the language calls attention to the fact that they are not really women and cannot get pregnant and thus cannot be fully feminist-female by celebrating their womanhood with an abortion?

Or does "trans-men" refer to XX-women who have added to their anatomy but can still get pregnant if they want a child, but they want abortion language to include their claimed male status so that if (even though they claim to be men) they have sex as the XX-chromosome women they really are and get pregnant, they are included without admitting that they are still women?

I fully expect any day now that some “transgendered female”(a.k.a. a sexually confused male) is going to complain the he/she can’t have an abortion.

So the women’s right movement has to change the language of women’s reproductive charter to include the woman who still has the uterus and has sex / insemination to get pregnant but calls herself a man to be able to get an abortion, so that the mentally ill woman intact enough to get pregnant doesn’t feel excluded when she goes to a woman’s clinic to have an abortion.

What, on God’s green Earth, is a ‘trans man’? Is that a ‘human’ who was born a male and decided to have a sawbones chop off some parts to give ‘it’ a more ‘streamlined’ appearance, like Bwucie Jenner? Or, is it a person born female who decided she was a ‘he’, like Chastity Bono?

If the former, the libs better check a biology textbook! Born male means you cannot, in any way, shape or form become preggers therefore, the ‘need’ for an abortion to get ride of a ‘pregnancy’ is NIL, ZERO, NADA! If the latter, then what the libs and progs want makes some sense in a sick, deviant, reprobate reality that they have constructed.

A “trans-man” is biologically a woman.

msNBC has fallen to viewship levels far far below the weather channel. They now stoop to appeal to sexual deviates suffering severe mental illness. I removed them from my sattillite surf.

Can Bruce Jenner get ovarian cancer?

Can he get prostate cancer?

Life used to be a lot simpler when there were just men, women and Democrats.
