Mom Confessions
I have seen a few posts about transgender people tonight. I have also seen some individuals try and say that a transgender man isn't a real man or is just a woman pretending to be a man. I just wanted to address that. Manhood is not defined by what is between one's legs. It is defined by how one acts and presents oneself. Just like womanhood is not defined by what is between one's legs and/or one's ability to birth children. It is defined by how one acts and presents oneself.
Now if you have questions, I will be more than glad to answer them. I am transgender myself and so is my wife. So I am very aware of the issues surrounding transgender men and transgender women (as well as the other non-binary transgender individuals).
Thank you for the support. And for clarification, I am a female to male individual and my wife is a male to female individual.

If I wanted to be and felt like the Easter bunny...it doesn't make it true.

Well I am known as the resident dude on here, lol. CM knows about me (I have been reported numerous times). But they have said I am allowed to stay until a surgery makes it so that I no longer identify as a mom. So I have done posts like this before. Each time the ignorance I face becomes less and less. It just takes time and patience.
Quoting Mommy2AlexAraya:
I hope you can get through to some of the women on this site. I tried to explain to a woman earlier that your gender is not determined by your sexual organs and my comment was reported and deleted. Good luck! -
