> A pregnant transgendered man? How does that work.. A person with a uterus, who thinks of themselves as a man, had one of their eggs inseminated. More specifically: a person who is biologically female but self-identifies as a man -- and who has not had certain types of sex reassignment surgery -- either (1) had penetrative sex with a biological man, or else (2) was artificially inseminated. > Without surgery they are female with female parts but identify as male so dressing up as a male Your (totally reasonable) confusion on this point is mostly definitional: "transgender" does not imply sex reassignment surgery. In fact, sex reassignment surgery is still very uncommon among transgender people [1]. (Fun history lesson: In the 60s it would have been a contradiction of terms to say that a transgender person wanted a sex reassignment surgery! The term was originally coined to refer specifically to people who didn't want such surgeries, with terms like "transsexual" or "transvestite" referring to those who did want surgery/hormone therapy. Today, the latter terms are out-moded and the term "transgender" has become a catch-all. But if we want to get puritanical about the meanings of words, which I think is a bit silly of course, we would actually go the opposite direction of the one you assumed -- it would be definitionally contradictory to use the term "transgender" to refer to someone who has received a sex reassignment surgery. This is all unimportant trivia, and today "transgender" implies nothing about surgery/hormone therapy preference, but hopefully this was an interesting history lesson for word nerds.) > How does someone identify as a male but still want a baby. Well, first, OP mentioned Brazil, which makes the "want" part perhaps presumptuous since abortion is illegal in Brazil. Aside from that, drop any pre-conceptions you have about trans people and just read the sentence back to yourself. I.e., consider the sentence: "How does a man still want to have a baby?" Lots of men want to have babies that are biologically "theirs". You've correctly identified that this desire can be a bit more complicated/disorienting for trans men, but the desire for a biological child is pretty universal among all life forms on earth. Trans homo sapiens aren't an exception. [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6626314/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6626314/
