Thing: Honey, I know that you have a wonderfully created womb, but I want to squirt a GMO beast out my asshole because my feels.
Her: Your strength is inspiring. Let me hug your muffin top.
I just wanted to narrate the horror.
Would the baby come out of his penis? Yikes
Uhh, the couple in this case would be a transman and transwoman. The person with the beard has a womb, and no penis. From an engineering perspective, it’s a solution to incompatible plumbing.
But politically, this is Marxist propaganda to create division and break down society. It is also about normalizing and encouraging these choices.
