Were both your parents 35+ when you were born?
I do think it is good the scene is set in the way that when he’s all “well my robot girlfriend cant have kids” a human woman is there to note that neither can she. And that she had just fun marriage with her silly husband. Sidenote: I love icchan and im sad he died
btw if you go up to an aylonit/saris/androgynos/tumtum who doesn't identify exclusively as a man or a woman and you tell them "you have to be either male or female" not only are you being enbyphobic and intersexist, you are also being very antisemitic. trying to strip jews of their cultural identities and practices to use loaded "scientific" language to describe their bodies is textbook antisemitism taken straight from early 20th century eugenicists. an aylonit/saris/androgynos/tumtum is the category that they say they are, and calling them anything else in regards to their sex and/or gender unless they say you can call them that is shitty. they do not owe you information about their chromosomes, genitals, and reproductive organs so you can push them and their bodies into western colonial categories. more broadly, intersex people (but especially jewish and non-white intersex people) don't owe you conformity to the western understanding of male and female.
*groans externally, because I can no longer internalize it* PLEASE DONT CALL YOUR PARENTS SPERM/EGG DONORS. THEY MADE YOU AND RAISED YOU. I’m not saying there aren’t shitty parents, okay? Those are called deadbeat parents. Sperm/egg donors are people who either selflessly or for the money (tbh, idgaf) give up a part of themselves for people who can’t have children any other way. Don’t downplay that please.
I think this needs to make another appearance.
Spain has no “homosexual” marriage. It is gender-free civil marriage between two people. Simple as that.
The Spanish civil code had been changed some years before to erase any difference between men and women. The 2005 reform just changed man/woman for “person” and husband/wife for “spouse”. It was so simple!
It gave a huge boost to LGBT rights because for many people we just became “normal”. The level of acceptance is maybe the best of the world. We are the most LGBT-friendly country in the world*. Adoption by same sex couples also became legal the same year, and in 2006 the law was amended to allow a child born from in-vitro fertilisation in a female same-sex couple to be legally recognized by the non-biological mother (adoption is not required). And from this 2006 law it’s allows transgender persons to register under their preferred sex in public documents such as birth certificates, identity cards and passports without undergoing prior surgical change. Plus: if a transgender person want to have a sex change surgery or reversal of a sex change, the complete medical treatment are cover by “Seguridad Social” (social safety) it’s means free**. *source: http://www.pewglobal.org/2014/04/15/global-morality/table/homosexuality/) ** Pay by everyday taxes. People cover by SS is almost everyone: all Spanish citizen who lives in Spain, foreign who works legally in Spain or dependent member of the it foreign person’s family.
Do you think you were an on purpose or accidental baby?
-I know for a fact I was on purpose
-I know for a fact I was accidental
-I think I was on purpose (not sure)
-I think I was accidental (not sure)
-I honestly don't know/Results
you guys need to be normal about people who don't like penetration. people who don't get hard easily. people who finish quickly. people who participate in kink without having sex. people who don't like being touched. people who don't like giving head. people who only like penetration. people who (almost) always squirt. people who take a long time to cum. people who have a hard time getting wet. people who don't talk during sex or anything else that is not part of the way you think people or bodies should behave during sex

(Image description: six square images with purple backgrounds and white borders, every image has bold white text in the center. All together this text reads: "I don't care if testosterone therapy makes me sterile. I am allowed to live a life that does not revolve around childbearing or parenthood. I do not have to prioritize childbearing or parenthood in my life. My bodily autonomy and freedom of choice are worth more than potential fertility. I don't give a fuck what you believe my "biological purpose" is. This body is mine to do with as I will.")
Possibly controversial, but I don't care if testosterone therapy makes me sterile.
I'm allowed to live a life that does not revolve around possible future childbearing or parenthood. My own bodily autonomy and freedom of choice are worth more than potential fertility.
I don't care what anyone believes my "biological purpose" is. My body is not your "earthen vessel". I am not here to "be fruitful and multiply". I don't want to join your womban only arts and crafts circle and finger-paint with period blood. I don't have to find any kind of special meaning or spiritual significance in the reproductive organs that I was born with.
The only reason I am here right now with this body that is mine is to do whatever I want with it.
I'm allowed to not want pregnancy and childbirth, or the possibility of them. I'm allowed to not want parenthood in any form. I don't have to prioritize those things in my life.
The potential loss of my fertility on testosterone is not a loss for me, it is a benefit. For more than half of my life now I've known that I never want to experience pregnancy or childbirth, and yet I am clearly expected to value my potential ability to do those things above my own actual wants and needs? No chance.
No trans person should be required to delay medically transitioning because of concerns about future fertility, if the trans person themselves isn't concerned with the ability to have biological children.
I resent the notion that medically transitioning is harmful because we're--allegedly--choosing to sterilize ourselves*. Choosing sterilization is not harmful. The ability to choose sterilization should be the right of every person, regardless of gender, who is of an age capable of reproducing.
(*Contrary to popular belief, testosterone therapy is not a contraceptive and does not always result in a person being sterile; it is entirely possible for a person to become pregnant while using testosterone therapy or after stopping it.)
