Where do you stand?

Pregnant Man Puts the Trans in GenderBy Ellen Goodman Posted on Jul 9, 2008 on: http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/20080709_pregnant_man_puts_the_trans_in_gender/?ln Excerpt: It is only recently that we began to look at the human body as a template to be altered as we please. I’m not comparing sexual reassignment surgery to liposuction, but if Thomas removed his breasts to fit the male model, how many women enlarge them to fit the female model? For that matter, it’s only recently that we could reach into the pillbox and pull out male and female hormones. Photo gallery of the expectant father... How far would you go... how far would you tolerate your partner/mate, friend, sibling, parent, etc. changing their body image??? 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Great questions Barb and a very interesting story! I really think you raise an interesting point in the adding and subtracting of breasts. I would hope that I would be accepting of my partner, friend, sibling, parent changing their body image. It's really hard to say what you would do since no one knows unless they are actually confronted with it. If my partner wanted to get breasts, selfishly I wouldn't want him to - I am so attracted to his chest the way it is. NOW.....if a friend, sibling, or family member wanted to.....I'd be fully supportive. I'm curious what others think about this.

I agree with Dr. Carroll in that if it were my friend, or family member I would totally be supportive and try to help with any transition. But when it comes to your spouse, partner or loved one it might be a little harder to let go of the image that you fell in love with or are used to.. That is a hard question to answer without having the experience behind it. I found the article on the pregnant man fascinating and would love to see a follow up after the baby is born. I think everyone deserves happiness no matter what form they decide to take.. Big boobs, little boobs, man, woman.. : ) Do you find this valuable? |

The baby was born - it was a girl....I hope they get to fade into the woodwork and BE a family... and not a media circus. Oprah got her show out of it, now let it go. Do you find this valuable? |

first off, i think that was an amazing and loving story.... its about a couple who wanted to add to their family and they made it happen....aw... but i agree with everyone else....I would be selfish and not want him to change his body, especially if he wanted to be more feminine since I am attracted to the male body, not female.... thats a tough question, not sure how i would feel.... and i would def. be supportive if a friend, family member ect. wanted to change.....
