I do hope for Hallie's sake that any precautions have been taken because to arrive at 30 something and be surrounded by new borns and preschools while you yourself cannot concieve is not a situation I would imagine anyone would find pleasant

Apologies for any offence caused in the way I expressed my views - in my defence though, I responded to the statement you made describing her gender identity as a novelty which would wear off, and I can only respond to the words you write on the page, even if they’re not quite what you meant.
To be fair to Hallie, I would imagine she has felt she is female for most of her life, so the decision has probably been fully discussed with her parents and with experts, and been thoroughly thought through over a long period of time, rather than being impulsive.
In respect to her being able to conceive, she couldn’t do that whether she remains physically male or becomes a transgender woman. From my understanding, there is a very high rate of suicide amongst those who feel they are trapped in the wrong body, so I would imagine that the internal conflict about her basic identity will always be more prominent in her mind than being a biological parent. |
