EXCLUSIVEUS government paid for 256 pregnancies among transgender men between 2014 and 2018 - costing taxpayers around $5million, official data shows

The US taxpayer has spent millions funding the pregnancies of transgender men, official data shows.

A recent study by University of Michigan researchers found there were 1,907 births among people who were born biological female but who identified as men between 2014 and 2018, the equivalent of nearly 500 a year.

Of the total, 256 trans men were insured under Medicaid - a government program that provides health insurance to people with limited income, which is funded by Americans.

The average cost of childbirth in the US is around $19,000, meaning the deliveries would have cost taxpayers around $4.8million. Becoming pregnant as a trans man is possible if the person still has their female reproductive organs.

And while the hormone therapy transmen take to transition will block the person from having a menstrual cycle, it is not a form of birth control.

The hormones do not prevent pregnancy and trans men are able to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term.

Pregnancy options remain the same as cisgender women, including sexual intercourse with a partner with a penis or through fertility assistance like in vitro fertilization.

Medical experts, however, recommend trans men stop taking their testosterone hormone therapy during pregnancy because it can be toxic to babies.

Testosterone - the male sex hormone that gives trans people a deeper voice and facial hair - can cause heart problems and genital development issues to the fetus.

I’m more curious as to how much was spent on trans-women and what the results were.

The real outrage is that it costs nearly $20,000 for prenatal care and birth.

I always need to remind myself: a “transgender” man is a woman pretending to be a man. Or do I have it backwards?

“Becoming pregnant as a trans man is possible if the person still has their female reproductive organs.”

Then you’re just a WOMAN wearing Daddy’s flannel shirt and work boots and letting your mustache grow in, LOL!

This is insanity. And it’s being treated as if it were NORMAL at Taxpayer expense! As usual. *Rolleyes*

Also mentally ill, if not traitorous psychopaths, are all of the US Gov personnel who approved and/or participated in this perversion of taxpayer funds.

Transgender “men” who have complete and fully functional reproductive organs.

At the very least, these transgender “men” should be spayed like a cat or dog. Then they can be turned loose in an “integrated” unit without further issue.

Transformation of gender from female to neuter. That is the only “transgender” possible, as the technology to change the XX chromosome to XY in every cell of the trillions and trillions in the body shall never exist.

You’re correct.

It’s as Dave Chappelle said, “You can call yourself Andy Kaufman all you like, but I look at you and see Jim Carey.”

It spent nothing funding the pregnancies of transgender men. There is no such thing as “transgender” and men do not have the ability to get pregnant.

“Pregnant transgender men”…

The mental gymnastics required to simply figure out what the hell they are talking about is exhausting.

Medicaid pays hospitals about 50% of actual costs.
