Opinion: Conversations about improving prenatal care must include transgender and gender diverse birthing people
I dreamed of having children from a young age — so much so that I assumed I had to be a cisgender woman. Society had taught me that only a cisgender woman would want so badly to carry and birth a child, so I suppressed any feelings that suggested I might not be a cisgender woman. I did not realize I was transgender until well after I had my children.
Now, I wish I could have experienced pregnancy and childbirth while living openly as a nonbinary transgender man.
