A transgender reporter this week said that presidential candidate Julian Castro and other Democrats running for president are not woke enough on abortion rights for “trans men,” pointing out that Castro bungled his first few attempts at declaring that transgender individuals deserve abortion rights.
LGBTQ reporter Katelyn Burns wrote in Politico (“I’m Trans. The 2020 Candidates Don’t Know How to Pander to Me.”) that Castro initially botched his attempt to express support for abortion rights for transgender Americans.
“For most of my life as a trans woman, trans people and our issues have been a source of derision. … So when, during the first debate of the 2020 presidential campaign, Julián Castro responded to a question about abortion by saying that all women, including transgender females, deserve access to a full range of reproductive health care options, it should have been a momentous occasion for a trans community that’s long existed in the shadows,” Burns wrote. “There was just one small problem. Castro fumbled his answer.”
Burns explained that Castro, on the national stage, said “trans females” instead of “trans men” should have abortion rights.

Living in a World it created in it’s Head
“His.” A “trans woman” is a man, not matter what he thinks.
"Death to America!"
These people are beyond sick.
When are we going to openly and forcefully declare that they are so?
This jerk may be on to something:
A man gets transition surgery to become female. Off with the johnson, in with the artificial v-jay-jay.
THEN, the former dude with the new v-jay-jay gets a uterus transplant from a dead donor (or I guess could be a live donor) real female, maybe even ovaries for good measure.
THEN, the former dude finds a real dude to donate some spunk, and maybe a donor egg (or an egg from a transplanted ovary) and gets the turkey-baster fired up and gets the former dude knocked up.
THEN, the former dude carries a child for 3, 6, or a full 9 months, then decides none of the above is worth it and aborts the innocent victim of all of the insanity previously described.
So yeah! I agree! Transgendered “women” may need abortion rights, according to Castro.
We live in a sick, brave new world..... seems like a LOT of effort to kill another human, but that won’t stop Castro! And BTW, we will be FORCED to pay for all of this insanity...especially if the former dude is in the prison system..... or an illegal alien.

With womb transplants a reality, transgender women dare to dream of pregnancies
It would require a grueling series of operations, but transgender women now see hope that they could one day become pregnant — despite having been born biological males — thanks to pioneering uterus transplant surgery.
“I hope it becomes a reality,” said Chastity Bowick, 30, a medical case manager in Worcester, Mass. “I absolutely would be willing to do it.”
Bowick began her gender transition at 19, but she knew she wanted to be a mom long before that. “Ever since I was old enough to understand the concept of parenting, I wanted to be a mother,” she said. “I didn’t know how that would ever happen, but that’s what I wanted.”
Surgeons at the Cleveland Clinic on Monday introduced the recipient of the nation’s first uterus transplant, performed late last month. The 26-year-old patient, identified only as Lindsey, said she has adopted three boys through foster care but has always dreamed of the opportunity to carry a child. The Cleveland Clinic team plans to do at least nine more transplants as part of a clinical trial.
Related: Uterine transplant raises hopes — and thorny ethical questions It is theoretically possible to transplant a uterus into someone who was born male. But the body would need a lot of preparation.
Gender reassignment surgery would be much more involved, for one thing. As with traditional male-to-female surgery, doctors would have to create a vaginal canal. But they would also need to make space for the uterus. That would require widening the pelvic inlet, which is substantially narrower in men.
After all that, the patient would need about a year to heal before undergoing the womb transplant — which in itself is quite an ordeal. The first one performed in the United States took nine hours.
If the transgender woman had stored sperm before transitioning, she could use it to fertilize a donor egg for implantation, so her baby would be genetically related to her. Careful administration of hormones would help the patient sustain her pregnancy, which would require close monitoring.
Any patient with a uterus transplant would also have to take powerful drugs to prevent her body from rejecting the donor organ. (For that reason, the transplants are designed to be temporary; surgeons plan to remove the donated womb after the recipient has carried a pregnancy or two to term.)
The many steps would make an already tough process even more difficult and expensive for transgender women.
Bowick is undeterred.
“Being a trans woman is already complicated,” she said.
“And pregnancy would be a beautiful thing — even the morning sickness. I mean, I’m kind of getting that now anyway, from the hormones. And I’m moody,” she laughed. “After all I’ve gone through, I’m up for any challenge.”

“If you’re a trans woman, this is a way of completing the dream,” she said. “Looking like a woman, feeling like a woman, and being able to bear a child like a woman. The whole notion of being like anyone else who wants to carry a baby — the opportunity for that is blowing people’s minds, in a good way.”
Bowick said she doesn’t expect bearing a child will make her feel like a more complete woman. “There are biological women who cannot bear children and they’re not lesser women because of it,” she said. She’d already been planning to adopt children and still plans to do so, even if she’s able to bear her own children as well.
Angelica Ross, the chief executive of TransTech Social Enterprises in Chicago, said transgender women may have trouble taking advantage of uterine transplants because many have faced discrimination in the past and, thus, lack the financial resources to pay for multiple surgeries.
“Because of getting fired from job after job, most trans people, especially trans people of color, are barely able to take care of themselves, much less a child,” she said.
Still, Ross said “it’s just an exciting idea” that it’s even theoretically possible now to become pregnant after transitioning to female.
“I love living in an America,” she said, “where someone like me would have a chance to have children.”
Trans man = woman. I believe they have that covered.
It’s pretty funny how they use “woke” to describe believing in their own fantasy dreamland.
“Reproductive health care options”. Liberals must say everything in code or it sounds awful.
I just stole that from ya’.
Shouldn't that read .... "a source of delusion" ?
Exactly.
Was Julian Castro watching an old South Park episode? That’s exactly what Mr. Garrison demanded when he completed his sex change.
Woke to their own fantasy island! Screwing with God’s creation ain’t gonna end well for them. And they call folks who don’t buy into “climate change” science deniers! This is about as far into denial as you can get.
Besides, according to AOC, we only have like 11.34 years left. All those surgeries plus recovery time gives them no time to raise any kid. Prolly abort
What is the limit of this madness
There are no trans men, and abortion is murder. Next question?
Imagine this sentence or this whole article being teleported back in time to 1776. You present it to a man of science at the time like Ben Franklin. You explain thru technology a message from the future has been made available in his present. What on earth would be make of this except that in the future, mankind has gone nuts.
Forcing me to affirmatively participate in another person’s delusion will not cure their mental illness.
