Really kinda disturbed how many on the pro-choice side are actively indifferent to the feelings of gender-nonconforming individuals.

Abortion is a right of birthing persons, not "women". My absolute least favorite maxim is "if men could get pregnant abortion would be a sacrament". Men can and do get pregnant, you thoughtless, trans-erasers.

Second, if you are a pregnant birthing person do not refer to your fetus as a "baby". That's abortion shaming. Until it's born it's not a person and it's your property. Please be mindful of that.

Finally, any hands maid tale meme should include individuals on a more characteristically masculine outfit. Trans men don't wear dresses! We should also use the term "hand person" instead of "hands maid"

If we're going to survive this theocratic hellscape, the birthing person community must band together and not create divisions among themselves.

Women who have children are "mothers". Don't insult them by diminishing what they do. Mothers.
No, men cannot get pregnant. Transgender men aren't men. A woman has to have a uterus to get pregnant and carry a child. Transwomen, Transmen are notwomen nor men. A transgender man, who has his uterus in tact could possibly get pregnant but he isn't a man at all. He is a woman who has had some surgical and medical proceedures done to artificially change his sex from what it is at birth based on DNA and genetics.
Men, cannot get pregnant.

Trans men don't wear dresses? Way to enforce your gender norms by declaring what someone else is or is not allowed to wear.

I have nothing at all against transgender, but the issue of a trans man getting pregnant and having a right to an abortion or to continue the pregnancy is utterly separate from that of a woman having the right to choose.

If he had had no choice about getting pregnant in the first place, it would have been because he was born with a uterus and produced ova and either been raped or had consensual sex with someone with a penis who produced sperm.

He asserted a right to choose the gender-affirming sex surgery that made him an affirmed trans man. But that doesn't give him the right to minimize the issue for the other 99.9+% of people who get pregnant.

Women have been traditionally discriminated against for thousands of years although making up half the population, and largely because they happened to be born with uteri and produced ova.

I'm not taking this political issue away from women just to include an extremely tiny minority of men, especially not those financially able to afford expensive gender-affirming sex surgery.
