Yep, trans men can get pregnant. Why Calvin Klein's ad depicting a trans family is causing a stir.

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.

None? We are talking about trans men, not biological males. Is this really that confusing?

Its even easier.....does the subject possess an x or y chromosome?
Does the subject possess a uterus and ovaries or testicles?
 
It's right and just that all these minority groups get recognition and proper dignity.
That said, it's time to acknowledge the fact that all of these groups will never be more than maybe 10 percent tops, and conservatives should cheer that news because it points out the fact that
millions of years of evolution is on the side of hetero male-female couples.
So they can stop harassing them and abusing them, they are the permanent minority and they just want the same chance and rights that everyone else has.
It doesn't mean that Calvin Klein is promoting an explosion, which is impossible, just as impossible as four leaf clovers eliminating three leaf clovers.
Hasn't happened in millions of years for a reason.

So......whats male and whats female?
Genetics are funny that way.
How many biological males get knocked up?

Meh, they're not the first trans man to give birth. Neither are competing in the sport of their gender identity so there's nothing to get upset about. Societal shifts are difficult for many to accept. Their decision to have a child is no one's business.
 
hush now child......this isn't about competition; its about x vs.y chromosomes.....you have one or the other; you can still pretend and dress as a woman or man, but, you are not a woman or a man.
Got a peepee dong? You are a ,man.
Got a vajay jay? you are female.....its pretty simple.

If you are an adult male with a pee pee dong and you want to get into the shower with a woman with a vajay jay; do not be shocked if Adult men stand in your way to prevent you from doing so.

Hey, most of the time people complain about transgender women! It's so thoughtful of him to be inclusive and remember to hate trans men as well.

Work with me here....
Penis = Male
Vagina=Female

Which of the above confuses you?
Or are you one of the 2+2=6 crowd?

You want to put men in showers with females?
That is acceptable with you?

So you think trans men should be in shower with women? Just fyi trans men can look like...uh...men.
 
It doesn't matter what you or I think. These people are trying to live their best lives. Again, it's none of our business.
So many things going on in the world that are actual direct threats to our safety and these people are not one of them.
