Sometimes I think back to how much of my life I spent absolutely terrified that I would get pregnant (and therefore was never in a situation to become pregnant until my 20s, though it could have happened without my consent at any time, of course). Then, after having kids, I mysteriously went through menopause around age 35 and mourned no longer being able to get pregnant, even though I didn't want any more kids. There is a tremendous emotional journey tied up with female or male physicality that is quite different from the emotional journey of someone who is transgender.
