I would agree with you, but a lot of FtM transgenders are extremely adamant about having children in order to prove that "men can get pregnant, too". You also see gays using surrogates to have children, which is honestly grotesque; your own sexuality precludes reproduction, so you just rope in a progressive white female friend (the only demographic who rent out their wombs) to help? Awesome - now she gets to intensely bond with a child of her own loins before chucking it to two gay dudes who are more likely to molest.
I absolutely agree with you on that... A friend of mine is a lesbian who used IVF to get pregnant. That absolutely happens. If I had to speculate, I would guess that many fewer LGT people are having kids today than in past years. I've known plenty of gay guys who had zero interest in having kids (and some who did want kids, tbf).
Additionally, for Trans who transitioned as children or teens, even if they later detransition, sterility or lack of sexual functioning may make biological parenthood impossible. Since trans surgery didn't exist before ~50 years ago and the number of trans-identified people has skyrocketed only in the last decade or so, this may take a little while to trick down to numbers, but I bet it's significant.
Friends with a lesbian? Really? Are you insane or just a woman yourself?
Haha. I can't say if it's just my experience, but most of the older lesbians I've met (say age 40+) have been pretty damn chill. No weird hair colors, no problem glasses, just dykes. I know several who are small business owners and who are not even particularly liberal OTHER THAN on sexuality-related issues. Not bad people to just have a beer with.
It seems the younger bi-lesbian-nonbinary whatever crowd are the real manhaters.
Actually, one caveat. Older lesbians who were (are) straight but kept failing in relationships with men until they finally hit the wall and then decided they are actually lesbians and are now in probably sexless relationships where they can just bitch about men and younger women -- they're actually the worst. THE WORST.
I never understood that concept. "this one guy did me dirty now I bat for the other team".
Either you were already Bi, or you're being spiteful to yourself.
I guess it then becomes a misguided "they're a woman too, so they know what I want" but then that's no different to having housemates... So what's the draw.
Do you know Blocked and Reported? I've listened to a handful of episodes. Herzog seems pretty based.
