California transgender teen freezes her eggs before transitioning into man

A California transgender teen who dreams of becoming a dad froze his eggs so he can one day have biological children.

Cole Carman is one of the first transgender teenagers to undergo fertility treatment and egg harvesting before transitioning genders, his doctor said.

"I have always wanted kids," the 18-year-old from San Francisco told NBC Bay Area. "I like kids, so I wanted to do it so I could have my own biological kids when I get older. Eight to 10 years from now, I want them to be related to me."

Carman's doctor Aimee Eyvazzadeh harvested 40 eggs from Carman's ovaries in May. Twenty-three of them have been frozen, so he can use them in the future.

The soon-to-be college freshman, who was adopted when he was 5 weeks old, was likely to have more success in fertility treatment if he did it before starting hormone therapy, Eyvazzadeh said, adding that she has worked with older transgender men in the past to try to harvest eggs after they have transitioned.

"If the ovaries have shut down, then it is really hard to wake them up after years of testosterone use, so you are not going to get as many eggs as you would before you transitioned," Eyvazzadeh said.

That made the decision to start fertility treatment now a no-brainer, Carman said. His parents helped him pay for the $13,000 treatment.

"Who doesn't want children that are part of them?" mom C.J. said. "My husband and I could never have children so I understand how that feels."

Her sex is female, no matter what awful things she does to her female body. Its gender is trans-man, I think.

reproductive and transgender science has advanced farther than I thought

Ahhh haaaa-- next up to bat will be a bilateral transgender. That is be a male and female at the same time. That way they can literally go copulate themselves. Or how about a duplicate same gender so they can gay marry themselves... Ahh the wonders of the new frontiers (or backtiers) of the sexual revolutions.

Suspect that might be it. Of course, they’re from California, so they probably don’t stand out in the crowd.

What kind of physician would perform that surgery?

A California physician apparently.

How messed up is that? She denies her feminity but preserves it's essence.

Shrinks need to be doing more work on this as a disorder not a preference or choice.

In most of these cases, a little reading shows that the parents are barking moonbats, at least by flyover standards.

No coincidence that the time when most of the asylums closed down the mentally sick like homosexuals and cross dressers advanced their agenda and got into peoples faces.

A California transspecies underdog who dreams of becoming a puppy froze her eggs so she can one day belong to her own biological children.

Lassie Canine is one of the first transspecies teenagers to undergo fertility treatment and egg harvesting before transitioning species, his doctor said.

“Every puppy wants to belong to a young child,” the 2-dog-year-old from San Francisco told NBC Bay Area. “I like kids, so I wanted to do it so I could belong to my own biological kids when I get older. A couple dog-years from now, I want my owner to be related to me.”

Canine’s veterinarian Aimee Eyvazzadeh harvested 40 eggs from Canine’s ovaries in May. Twenty-three of them have been frozen, so she can use them in the future.

The soon-to-be obedience school freshman, who was adopted when she was 5 weeks old, was likely to have more success in fertility treatment if she did it before starting species-hormone therapy, Eyvazzadeh said, adding that she has worked with older transspecies dogs in the past to try to harvest eggs after they have transitioned.

“If the ovaries have shut down, then it is a real bitch to wake them up after years of doggie hormone use, so you are not going to get as many eggs from an adult dog as you would before she transitioned,” Eyvazzadeh said.

That made the decision to start fertility treatment now a no-brainer, Canine said. Her parents helped her pay for the $13,000 treatment.

“Who doesn’t want to belong to children that are part of them?” mom C.J. said. “My husband and I had a puppy, so I understand how that feels.”

..."teen who dreams of becoming a dad froze his eggs so he can one day have biological children."

An idea that might only have come up during a bad LSD trip in years before 2015.

A surgeon who could specialize in reversible option transgenderism procedures would make a fortune.

I agree, she is a female regardless of what procedures are done to her. How long before she realizes what a mess she has made of herself, mentally and physically?

Where are these eggs [at the proper time] going to be implanted? His/her womb, or someone else’s. Unless I missed it, the article doesn’t mention that.

STAN: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.
REG: What?!
LORETTA: It's my right as a man.
JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
LORETTA: I want to have babies.
REG: You want to have babies?!
LORETTA: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
REG: But... you can't have babies.
LORETTA: Don't you oppress me.
REG: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the fetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!

But honey, when you’re a man, you’ll start producing sperm, because that’s what men do.

So what are you worried about??
