I am nonbinary. I was assigned female at birth, but my gender is neither male nor female. When my ex-partner and I were trying to conceive our first child, I had not transitioned yet and was still identifying as a woman. We were a same-sex lesbian couple searching cryobanks for the perfect sperm donor. I was ready and excited to have children, but the idea of pregnancy terrified me—repulsed me, actually—but my then-partner was excited to carry a child, so we shopped for sperm. I joked that the idea of lesbians needing sperm to start a family was

The author clearly has a 'problem' because it is not 'normal'. It is not up to the rest of society to change to adapt to the 'abnormal'. Quite the opposite....author needs to 'get over it' and move on with life.

Sick. Just sick.
If you have a woman’s breast, vagina and reproductive organs, honey, you’re a woman.
Live the way you want, you’re the one who’ll answer to God for your lifestyle, not me, but, please, keep children out of it. Society has enough trouble with the wild, angry and confused sons of bitter twisted old feminists, we don’t need to have to deal with your goofy get.

You can tell the ones who don't have God in their hearts and lives. They were looking for the 'perfect' sperm donor. That would be your husband, idiot.

If she/he wants to be different that's ok, just don't involve us in the drama and cost. Likewise, recognize there will be "buyer's" remorse later in life.

No, no that can't. You can redecorate the house but the plumbing is the same.

The problem with the author's position is that it makes certain types of communication impossible. For example, a few months back the discovery by arhceolisome of my Facebook friends were excited by the discovery by archeologists that the Viking warrior in a particular tomb was female. These same Facebook friends would have read this article and totally agreed with it, failing to see that if those same archeologists were transported 1000 years into the future and excavated this author's grave, they would identify her as female as well.

"I was assigned female at birth"...
Ok, yes, assigned by God. Good luck appealing to Him to change that for you.
If she doesn't believe that, then you weren't assigned anything. Trained professionals (and even a trained monkey) RECOGNIZED that you were female at birth from a plethora of evidence and recorded it accordingly.
Are we done playing silly games yet?

Let's make this simple: If you're pregnant you have woman parts. The difference between men, that have the parts that will impregnate you, and women are those parts. Anything else is an accommodation allowed by a polite and well-to-do society but, while we might accommodate your choice and behavior...
if you're pregnant, you're a woman. Don't go spewing this anti-science, anti-reality garbage.

Another example of the "Fear Wins!" crowd. Love doesn't make demands like Amber does.
I must admit that I feel some sense of sorrow for this whatever Amber person. She goes to a great deal of difficult language to placate the genderphobia that drives her.

I find it incredibly ironic that "trans" people want us to accept who THEY are when they have never accepted THEMSELVES as they are!!

Mental illness is always tragic to observe.
I feel sorry for those who - - through no fault of their own - - have been so sadly afflicted.

Amber needs to face the fact that she is female. No matter what she does to try to change that, she won't be able to.

Abraham Lincoln said: If you call a tail a leg, how many legs has a dog? Five? No, calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.
I wonder what President Lincoln would have to say about this article (or perhaps also what he would think about the statement "it depends on what the meaning of "is" is.)

They can be anything they want to be... a doctor, Superman, Batman, Bruce Jenner, the President of the United States, pregnant, he and she at the same time. There are no limits when playing make believe.

Buying into that P.C. crapola of " the gender I was assigned at birth". Sorry dear, that's not how biology works. Your SEX was determined at conception. You are mentally ill and in of need medical help.

Babies are not assigned a gender. They were born with one. It cannot be changed. Not with hormones, or surgery, or the encouragement of your mentally ill friends. I absolutely refuse to accept this or participate in it. Don’t bother telling me what pronouns you identify with. I don’t care.

Q: If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have?
A: Four. Just because you call a tail a leg doesn't make it so.

If you can will yourself to be male or female or neither or both or something else then why can't you will yourself to be pregnant? Or to not be pregnant? Or to be immune from malaria? Or to be invisible?
Why search for the perfect sperm donor? Just decide your child will be perfect and it will; biology can't matter.

Chest feeding instead of breast feeding??This is absolutely Orwellian. Or a bad offering by Kafka.
Words fail me, and I had 18 semester hours of Advanced Placement in English, in undergraduate.

That's because a man is a man, and a woman is a woman no matter what you claim to be or what you "identify" as, silly. You minority of nuts will never convince the majority of us that we're the crazy ones.

Since genetics is no longer a necessity of existence, can't we just make it legal to be whaterver color of skin, sex, species or even inanimate object? I want to be a cross between a bolder and water-buffalo. Why can't I under the Civil Rights Act?

I will not comply.
This is perversion. This madness is doing real harm to vulnerable, unstable and faithless people.
Anyone wonder about why there are so many disaffected young males?
The radical transformation of the values that made this country great is almost complete.

Enjoy today, Amber, because it's the happiest day you'll have from now till you depart your earthly body, and probably by your own hand. Sadly, that's the statistic we have for those who let degenerate sinfulness run their life.

You can't get pregnant if you don't have a uterus, sweetheart. I suppose, however, that you can imagine whatever you wish to imagine. Make-believe can be fun but you've got to know when to come back down to earth.

End of Western Civilization. But there are groups pushing back, slowly but surely. The trans logic devours itself in the end.

These people are disgusting. It's quite enough to want to have weird sex but why bring children into the world only to have them confused and embarrassed because of who or what their parents are?
