Has anyone ever addressed the problems involved with such a female attempting to conceive while on cross-sex hormones? I've seen photos of apparently pregnant trans "men" who are biologically female, and wonder what damage is being done to the child if taking cross-sex hormones? Is it always a stillbirth, or a miscarriage? My limited training and reading as a former RN leads me to believe any child actually born of such conditions would be severely damaged, especially neurologically, if they survived for any length of time. Has anyone here learned of a child so conceived and actually born who survived long enough to fully determine their level of damage?
BTW, concerning "Prof Cover": “the truth of the person which [sic] wishes to be identified in that way in accordance with their reality.” How does an otherwise intelligent (or at least able to speak in a mostly-understandable fashion) person determine there are multiple realities? Perhaps if multiple universes exist, and we are able to be aware of them and move between them, but in this universe, there is only ONE reality, ONE truth, no matter how much the creatures of the Left would love to believe we all have our "own" truth, our "own" reality. Communication itself is impossible if we are not even aware of reality, of the same conditions, physical phenomena, etc. to which we all are heir. It would seem Prof Cover is not conversant with reality, and therefore unable to truly communicate.
I think it comes down to whether you take a positivist or constructionist view of reality. Obvs STEM disciplines take a positivist view - there is an objective reality that we can measure. And the humanities tend to take a constructionist view - reality is constructed and negotiated through language, action and relationships. I tend to think there’s truth to both.

well... viewing that particular image causes me serious harm and discomfort. Might not be able to get that picture out of my mind !

See above ?
