A mother, but not a woman (Mega Barf)
WASHINGTON POST ^ | AUG 16, 2019 | Samantha Schmidt

The first thing Braiden Schirtzinger felt was the pop — like a bursting balloon.

A doctor had said today could be the day, and a Google search said exercise could help speed up the process. So here Braiden was, under a warm late-April sun shaded by oak and willow trees, taking a third lap around a suburban Virginia neighborhood, determined to walk out a baby.

Braiden stopped on the sidewalk, feeling the liquid trickling through baggy gray basketball shorts.

“Mom, get in the car,” Braiden said over the phone. “My water just broke.”

For nine exhausting months, Braiden had lived in a body that felt more feminine, with its swelling belly and breasts, than Braiden had ever felt inside. And yet this transformation was the means to what the 26-year-old had always wanted to become: a mom.

Braiden was born biologically female but has always identified as more masculine than feminine. For months before the pregnancy, Braiden had taken testosterone shots, leading to a deeper voice, a sharper jaw, more muscular arms. But Braiden is no longer a transgender man.

At an LGBTQ support group almost two years ago, Braiden heard someone use a word that resonated: “non-binary.” It felt like the best way to describe who Braiden was — not a he or a she, but a “they,” part of what appears to be a growing group of Americans who identify as genders other than male or female.

Uhhhhh. Okay. I don’t know why I’m even asking this but if she already felt as if she was a man, how’d she get pregnant? I mean, I know HOW, but I mean she, oh, forget it, this stuff is beyond comprehension.

Liberalism is a mental disease.
We need more insane asylums.

It sounds like she got off the hormones and doesn’t identify as a man anymore - so that’s a good thing. I’m not really sure what “non-binary” means. If it means she realizes that she is a female and has sex with men (well - we know she did at least once) but isn’t into the typical female roles, good for her.

The transgender cult has done a lot of harm to people that don’t fit the stereotypical (and IMHO wrong) image of men and women.

I wish pop was alive.

Just to see his expression after reading this :)

I love him but it would be a lot of fun!

He died in ‘82 and it pack more of a punch if he went from ‘82 news to this news :)

Homofascism is a sex cult grooming more victims.

Now it’s being said that heterosexuals rejecting transexual suitors is “wrong”. So much for consensual relations.

One must be extremely delusional to get pregnant and give birth and STILL identify as a man.

They seek to indoctrinate the youngest of learning children including at library storytime.

They are infesting cartoons aimed at primary age viewers with agitprop pushing homofascism.

In schools too...

Dr. Henry Cloud’s book “Boundaries” describes people raised without them. What they want is good and moral. What makes them feel bad is morally bad. The rules they set down others have to obey. When you say no to their demands, when others apply hard limits like laws, they shriek that it is cruel, unfair, oppression.

In this case, they require EVERYONE to endorse their delusion. They seek out dissent and challenge it, because any such unorthodoxy is a threat to the fantasy. If there’s a group that disagrees, if there is someone who isn’t wholeheartedly endorsing every facet of the delusion, confront them. If they don’t cower and cry, tear them apart.

Someone who denies being male or female but won’t identify as either.

Houston had at least 2 men in “drag queen story time” arrested as pedophiles. They had previous convictions.

It felt like the best way to describe who Braiden was — not a he or a she, but a “they"...

And now she's had a theyby.

That was my first thought. The immoral self-absorption and selfishness is amazing.

The insane left continues to debase the language and co-opt words, assigning new meaning to them. The latest is taking the plural pronoun “they” and converting it to singular. There is a perfectly good and appropriate English word they COULD use...

Today’s society is going into the realm of a freak show well beyond fiction.

Otoh, the traditional religious people will outbreed the Braidens. I just travelled cross-country and saw a few families with four or five kids at church. Those kids are the future.
