Yep, trans men can get pregnant. Why Calvin Klein's ad depicting a trans family is causing a stir.
Yahoo ^ | 5/13/22

An ad from Calvin Klein on Mother's Day featuring a pregnant transgender man and his trans partner has sparked a wave of backlash on social media.

“Today, in support of women and mothers all over the world, we’re spotlighting the realities of new families," the company wrote in the caption of a Sunday Instagram post highlighting the campaign, which features three nontraditional families — including Brazilian reality stars Erika Fernandes and Roberto Bete.

“Erika Fernandes and Roberto Bete are expecting parents from Brazil. Roberto is due to give birth to his and Erika's son Noah any day now,” the caption continued alongside images that show Bete visibly pregnant, in Calvin Klein underwear, as his wife, wearing a CK sports bra and bottoms, clings to his arms at their bedside.

“We can reproduce biologically or from the heart…our place is to love and be loved,” the couple is quoted as saying in the ad.

These are the people who call us 'deplorable' and 'Hitler' and 'irredeemable' and until they can get over calling us names I don't give a damn about their pronouns or feeding their their delusions.

By no means the first CK trans model, but maybe the first visibly pregnant one:

Is that true? I thought Jeffrey Dahmer worked in a factory or something like that. Was he in show biz too? Or Ad biz, I suppose?

The video is creepy but Calvin Klein never hired Jeffrey Dahmer to direct their commercials. Dahmer held several menial jobs after he was kicked out of the Army and during his killing sprees. Directing videos for Calvin Klein was never on of those jobs.

It was sarcasm. The commercials look like they were directed by a serial killer.

Sorry. They are pretty awful videos. Like one of the comments said, it was like watching a snuff film.

And we thought the Romans at the time of Elagabalus, Caligula, Tiberius, Commodus, Nero and the rest of the Roman Emperors were nuts!

Trans men? Oh, you mean women. It’s that pesky XX they can’t get rid of.

Or Noah could say at 3 years of age, that he is a fire engine (I did), so I guess Noah’s sick parents will buy Noah tires to surgerically make him into a fire truck... 🤓

THese commie bastards are always playing with words. They’d say you are bigoted by using the word “transsexual”. Just like I can’t call a person “oriental” but must say “Asian”.


And we aren’t supposed to say “Indian” anymore, even though there are “Indian reservations” and an agency known as the “Bureau of Indian Affairs”.

We are not supposed to say “Negro” any longer.

I’m sure there are other such words which were once allowable, but those who push changes in language, have now deemed once allowable terms to be bigoted.

I always wonder about “people of color”. It is considering insulting and racist to say “colored people”, but “people of color” is deemed to be ok.

Trans men == mentally ill women who think they are men.

Call them that, and they say you're an "extremist".
