Any other MtF trans folk out there that are pained about not being able to carry a child?

It's one of those things that beats me up. And when some bigot says I'll never truly be a woman, it isn't the fact they say it or their words that hurt me, it's the fact I'll never be a mother. Anyone else feel that way?

    My best mate is a transgender. When she first told me I thought she was lucky because she didn't need to worry about having a period or being pregnant. But now she has become very upset knowing she'll never hav a child of her own.

    However, a true mother is not the one who gives birth to a child. Anyone lady can give birth to a child but, a true mother is one who takes care and loves her child. Genetics don't matter as long as you love him/her.

    Hopefully someday science will improve so that transgender people will be able to have children.

    It's called Adoption, Millions of Non-Trans people can't give birth because of medical issues; besides the world is overpopulated as hell. Take it as a blessing really, I mean really; most women don't exactly pray day and night that they'll get pregnant and give birth.

    I'm FtM so I guess it's not quite the same but I am kind of sad that when I'm older I won't be able to get a woman pregnant. I've always wanted the future me to be a father.

    Yeah, I wish I could have children of y own. I wish I could you know look at my future child and know that I was the one who she came from. Pregnancy is a gift that we (mtf transgenders) have not been given.
