Trans person here, using anon because it’s too stressful not to. Reasons why I’m bothered by mpreg (& omegaverse) aside from personally finding pregnancy creepy: 1)Trans erasure, a real life example that could be used for a fic but people skip over it entirely. 2)shock value, a more extreme example of “lol man in a dress! so weird!” 3)regressive gender norms. this one really gets me. Most are about feminizing men in a specific fetishized way equivalent to super-trad fem roles but w/o any women

Thank you for sharing, anon!

I got a bunch of asks in response to the mpreg question, but most of them I don’t feel comfortable answering. I had never really thought about the question before, so I’m in no position to try to elaborate on what I said as if I were some kind of expert. I’m grateful to hear your perspective on this!
