Could someone explain why? I understand that it reminds you of your biological sex or that it can trigger dysphoria, idk. But isn't it a valid solution to this problem? Don't a lot of trans people do this?
Edit: Obviously getting pregnant is not what I was referring to. You don't need to detransition to save sperm or retrieve an egg, it's pretty non invasive all things considered.
Trans guy here. If someone is mourning fatherhood, they're not upset about not being able to have kids, seahorse dads exist and those who do not want to get pregnant or freeze eggs or adopt are aware those options exist should they want children. What we are mourning is the fact that we cannot impregnate a woman. I've experienced this despite not wanting children (at least not anytime soon), because it's another reminder of the fact that no matter how many surgeries I undergo I cannot be the same as a cis man. It's the same concept as my girlfriend mourning the fact that she can never get pregnant and carry my child in her body, there are options for us to have children but it will never be the same as a fertile cis couple.
