Women reduced to baby making ovens. Babies reduced to shopping orders. And they call this progress.

Thanks for the judge though.

These fucking men I swear.

Celebs/Rich women really think to themselves: 'hmmmm, I dont want to go trough pregnancy and child birth, and I also don't even want to raise a child. But luckily there are other women who can do this for me!' Like, instead of accepting the fact that motherhood is not their calling, they really exploit poor women instead. And somehow this is a normal thing to do???

i understand the frustration with “i made this gay pairing cis x trans so they can still have biological babies” with no thought to other methods and how ppl assume thats the case when it comes to mothpool aus where mothwing is also the mother of the three, but also…. idk i kinda dont give a shit if someone wants to do that and i dont really think its inherently transphobic as long as its handled with care and respect.

what really concerns me about this debate is how some people are adamant that you cannot portray trans people having biological children in media or youre being disrespectful. and im gonna say as a nonbinary person who doesnt want children for themself- thats kinda fucking weird? like i understand that for some people, theyre trans themselves and theyre speaking from a place of dysphoria, and i absolutely get that, which is why i think the topic should be handled with nuance and diversity in trans characters, but like…. guys. pregnant trans men exist irl. trans women get people pregnant irl. trans ppl’s ability and right to parent and have biological children are being debated irl. we get denied the opportunity to adopt as well.

in a climate like this, are we SURE we want the stance on rewrites and headcanons in the silly cat books to be “if you portray trans characters having children, especially with a gay couple, youre a transphobic freak no matter what!” does it really matter? especially if its being done by a trans person handling the topic with nuance who has a lot of trans characters with varying perspectives?

obviously yes, remember that thats not the only way certain gay couples can have kids, remember that not every trans person is fully comfortable with it and keep that in mind, remember that surrogacy and adoption are also perfectly valid ways to give fan babies- but remember that there are OPTIONS. not that you need to condemn the idea of transgender parents in the first place unless they fit the very specific criteria of “proper transgender representation” and anything that dares deviate from that is proof the op is a transphobic monster (bonus points if theyre a trans creator bc i mostly see trans people getting shit for this and it kinda pisses me off. although idm if cis people do it either as long as theyre handling it with respect)

BAN SURROGACY NOW

[perenlop]

feel like “making a fictional gay couple where one is cis and one is trans so they can have bio kids is iffy if thats exactly how youre presenting it” and “that specific dynamic exists irl and its not something that should be shamed or discouraged from presenting in fiction, plus while its a nuanced topic, trans people still have children and denying that entirely does more harm than good to the community” are two statements that can exist at once tbh

Anderson Cooper is a prominent openly gay journalist on American TV. He came out as gay in an essay in 2012. He had been conflicted about protecting his own privacy and providing LGBT youth with a positive role model.

“It’s become clear to me that by remaining silent on certain aspects of my personal life for so long, I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something—something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed or even afraid,” he wrote. “This is distressing because it is simply not true...The fact is, I’m gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldn’t be any more happy, comfortable with myself, and proud.”

In 2022, Cooper shared an amusing story about when he first realized he was gay. At the age of 12, friends of his mother took him to go see “Bent”, a Broadway play starring Richard Gere. In the opening scene Gere and another actor were having sex under blankets. The other actor climbs out of the bed, naked, and got dressed. Cooper thought to himself:

“Oh my God, I’m gay…I’m totally gay.”

When the play was over, young Cooper went back stage to meet Gere (his theater companions knew the actor). Gere was shirtless and Cooper described the situation:

“And I had my Playbill and I wanted to get him to autograph it, but I was too—I just couldn’t stop staring at his chest. And so, fast forward to 10 years ago, I was interviewing Richard Gere and I took out the Playbill…and I told him the whole story and I had him sign it. Yeah. He was very tickled with it.”

Cooper had been in a long term relationship with Benjamin Maisani, a New York businessman. They broke up in 2018 but remained friends. In 2022 and again in 2023, Anderson Cooper had sons via surrogacy. Cooper co-parents the boys with Maisani who plans to adopt the boys as well.

Although Anderson Cooper being gay may be inspirational, I was more surprised when I found out he is the son of railroad heiress and fashion designer Gloria Vanderbilt. His net worth is estimated to be $200 million, partial due to his $12 million annual salary at CNN. And also from his inheritance from his mother’s estate when she passed away in 2019.

Argentina does not have a specific surrogacy law, Surrogacy for Gay Parents in Argentina are possible. Courts tend to rule in favor of surrogacy agreements, particularly when the welfare of the child is prioritized. Legal support and proper documentation are necessary to secure parental rights for both gay fathers.

People are congratulating him as if he’s the one growing the babies. 🤣 Like, GTFOH!!

Congratulations, you exploited a poor woman. 👏🏾

a rly underrated thing about crazy ex girlfriend imo is that it's one of the rare shows i know of that really spends time on exploring what the process of having children is like for queer ppl/for those who go about it "non-normatively". it's not even rly a main storyline but i still find it rly well-handled and touching.

hi just a little reminder that most jegulus shippers aren’t women-hating misogynists <3

Yeah, as a nonbinary person who could get pregnant but never wants to, I find the way fans treat trans cats having litters really weird. Like as long as you depict it with respect because trans parents deserve it, it's not hurting anyone. Plus it's unfair to trans fans who want to have biokids. I saw a Warriors Roleplay outright ban trans cats from having children that werent adopted with the excuse of 'listening to trans voices'. Ok, well not every trans person is uncomfortable with the idea of having children and its unfair to act like thats the case. YOU can be uncomfortable with having kids and thats fine, but just because something makes you dysphoric doesnt mean nobody is allowed to do it.

ABSOLUTELY! Ohhh I have thoughts about that RP... "you can NEVER portray trans characters having bio kids, they HAVE to adopt because trans people having bio kids is wrong!! We're doing this because we love trans people and we know that not a single one has had or wants children! This is helpful!! We're helping!!"

This stuff does have an effect on the real world, too (maybe not our silly little cat headcanons, but the general discussion around this topic in a wider range) When you insist that you can't portray trans people having kids, to the point you ban it in an rp or lash out at trans creators who do so, how do you think that reflects onto trans people who not only want bio kids, but have already had bio kids? That people like them are so uncomfortable, it is an insult to other trans people to acknowledge they exist? That they are an Other, something abnormal, something the trans community should never accept?

I get it. There are a lot of trans people irl who don't want bio kids because of dysphoria, among several other factors. Anon and I are two of them! And there WERE some people genuinely being reductive about the topic and just making a single trans character in a gay ship trans for bio kids. But what trans people are you helping by banning the discussion altogether? We aren't a hivemind. We're all individuals with different needs and preferences. If your dysphoria is SO bad that you can't look at other trans people who haven't met your standard for whatever reason and you demand that they stay quiet and not exist for your comfort... it's time to work on yourself. And if you're not trans and you're saying this, please shut up, holy shit stop telling trans people how to write our own characters or how we should headcanon things.

And to be honest, I've grown kinda sick of being policed around what kind of trans characters we're allowed to write. This attitude extends to stuff like dysphoria, whether a character has taken steps to medically transition (and you'll get snapped at no matter what!), portraying GNC trans people, and more. It's not as prevalent in the warriors fandom, I think, but it's become so nitpicked that I'm exhausted.

My Own Experience with Same-Sex Surrogacy in Kenya!

Most surrogacy specialists have differing ideas about same-sex surrogacy in kenya, and this issue has always drawn discussion. A few people refer to it as a safe refuge for same-sex parents seeking surrogacy, while others express worries about the lack of surrogacy rules in the nation. But for me, the experience of using same-sex surrogacy in Kenya has been significant and transformative. 

My partner and I, as a homosexual couple, decided to go on this road in order to realize our desire of having a child. I will recount our tale in my blog, starting from the early difficulties we had and ending with the joyous day when we finally received our kid in our arms.

Making an informed choice!

It all began with a strong desire to establish a family. In addition, my girlfriend and I had been dating for a few years when we both had strong parental desires. Either way, we were aware of the social and legal obstacles that came with being a same-sex relationship. Furthermore, we started looking into our possibilities because we were aware that gay surrogacy in Kenya may be a drawn-out and dubious procedure.

Surrogacy seemed to be the best option for us, but we were unsure about the legal and social views, especially in a country like Kenya where LGBTQ+ rights are not widely accepted.

Getting through the challenges!

Finding a surrogate mother who was willing to cooperate with a same-sex couple was one of the initial worries in this area. In Kenya, surrogacy was not well-informed or supported, so we had to rely on private associations and internet forums to connect with possible surrogates. Furthermore, it took us months to find someone who understood our situation and was ready to help.

The legal barriers were similarly formidable. Furthermore, there were unclear legal guidelines governing same-sex surrogacy in Kenya. We also got in touch with several family law attorneys, and they advised us to create a thorough surrogacy contract in order to protect the interests of both sides.

Handling the emotional aspects!

The emotional conundrum arose after we had settled on the legal positions and located a willing surrogate. Having said that, we developed a strong relationship with our surrogate and she became an important part of our lives. Also, when we took fertility drugs and awaited the results of the pregnancy test, the overwhelming feelings of expectancy, trust, and unease.

However, there were also happy and inspiring moments when we learned that our surrogate was expecting a child. Anyway, while we discussed the instabilities of pregnancy and labor, there were also times when I felt uneasy and afraid. Throughout the voyage, we relied on the support of our chosen family and companions and clutched each other's hands tightly.

Our child is finally here!

We were overcome with joy on the day of our child's birth, which was a turning point in our lives. It was also an amazing sensation to be in the delivery room, watch our baby breathe, and hug them for the first time. Furthermore, our surrogate had bestowed upon us the most priceless blessing we could possibly get.

However, there were difficulties involved in surrogacy for same-sex couples in Kenya who chose to become parents through surrogate pregnancy. That said, we encountered opinions and preferences from a small number of people in our neighborhood as well as from medical professionals. Still, the affection and encouragement we received from our loved ones and relationships outweighed the pessimism.

We fully embraced our responsibilities as fathers, providing our child with a nurturing and loving atmosphere. In addition, we discovered how to balance job and family obligations, and every day presented fresh opportunities and difficulties. Regardless of sexual introduction, parenthood may be a learning and growth adventure.

Making it through with the legal battles!

The most notable obstacle we faced following the birth of our child was getting official recognition as guardians. Due to the illegality of same-sex marriage in Kenya, our parenting rights were problematic. Furthermore, we were aware that we would need to defend our child's legal rights and ensure that they would have the same legal protections as other children.

We further partnered with LGBTQ+ organizations and legal experts to advocate for legal recognition and communication. In addition, the battle was exhausting and protracted, with many setbacks and disappointing times. Whatever the case, we persevered surrogacy for gay couples in kenya thanks to our confidence and the community's support.

We achieved a victory when Kenya acknowledged our parental rights, following a protracted court battle. Furthermore, it was a turning moment for LGBTQ+ rights in the country in addition to being a personal victory. Additionally, other same-sex couples wishing to become parents through gay surrogacy in Kenya now have a clear path to follow because to the precedent our case created.

Final words

My own experience with same-sex surrogacy in Kenya has been a life-changing one. Every decision we made, from the initial decision to become parents to the difficulties we encountered along the road, helped to mold us into the loving and adaptable family we are today. Our experience might also serve as evidence of the value of affection, assurance, and the encouragement of a supportive community that values communication and recognition.

In sharing our story, we hope to inspire others who may be confronting comparable challenges and inspire them to seek after their dreams of parenthood, notwithstanding of their sexual introduction.
