“Grace” Lavery is a fake woman but by god he’s a genuine troll.
So adorable. Teehee. Only a man could think that would be funny.
No, no one will ever become the first trans woman to need an abortion, let alone to have one.
In any other context Lavery would probably make erudite fun of the idea that technological progress is so relentless and inevitable that some time in the next 40 years or so men will be able to get pregnant. In any other context Lavery would probably realize that by then climate change will have triggered such dire consequences that no one will have the slightest interest in trying to re-engineer male bodies to make them pregnancy-enabled, let alone the funding.
And then, in addition to that, there’s the fact that abortion isn’t like prizes in sports, or the career ladder, or the glory of discovery, or getting elected to high office. Abortion is a necessary basic technology, and that’s all. Bragging rights for being the first trans woman to “get” an abortion are not a thing, any more than bragging rights for being the first trans woman to insert a diaphragm would be.
There’s a TA who actively hopes to be the first trans woman to have an abortion. It’s in his Twitter profile or a pinned tweet. I can’t remember his name and really don’t care to hunt him down, so you’ll have to take my word for it unless you have a stronger stomach than I do: there’s a man who claims it’s his greatest goal in life to be the first man to have an abortion. Not the first to become pregnant. Not the first to give birth. He’s not interested in those things. He’s only interested in a recreational abortion.
But none of this is anything to do with fetishes. NONE OF IT.
Of course, but just you wait until the first transwoman EVER to have a fetish! That will be newsworthy! It will be all over PinkNews and Twitter! (But not Tumblr. On Tumblr, transpeople are way too tame and boring; to be noteworthy there, you need to be a nonbinary neutrois aromantic pansexual woman who is part of a multiple system.)
I’ll bet that trans-identified women have been having abortions for as long as TiW have been a ‘thing’. Lavery is just soooo behind the times, poor bloke.
If some experimental procedure should ever result in a man becoming pregnant, I don’t doubt that the pregnancy would have to be terminated, both because the fetus would be unviable and the host would be in serious trouble if the pregnancy were to proceed. Maybe that’s what he’s thinking of.
Just what I was thinking… doubt Grey Slavery here could remove his head from his arse long enough to realize it though.
