AnOther publishes an essay by Grace Byron on the topic of transness and pregnancy; the cultural weight of being told to be a mother and of being told you cannot become one
. Balayla believes it is “inevitable”, though he’s faced plenty of flack from the bioethics community and radical feminists around the world. So far it’s mostly the ethical implications that are being studied. Multiple surveys and interviews on the “reproductive aspirations” of trans women have been conducted. Uterine transplants have been primarily for short-term use.
I didn’t want to write about desiring motherhood for so long because I didn’t want to find out if I really wanted it. I ask the trans women I know who have kids about their attempts at breastfeeding, about their relationship to motherhood, about school pickups among throngs of cis women. One night outside of a bar, I played airplane with my friend’s kids, gently launching them up in the air and back down again as they giggled. I saw my reflection smiling in the window.
The fear that cis women face over creation is different. I’m not sure trans women are expected to participate in the public sphere. The past few years have made that hellishly clear. Three years later, I sat on the grass outside a sound studio while working as a driver for the same filmmaker. My job for the afternoon was to pick up his spouse and child from the hotel and bring them to set.
