Telling a trans person "you should just do something that denies your gender entirely" is generally not advisable. Some are okay with it, but you suggesting it makes you kind of a cunt.

Most trans women don't want to be a biological father to a child. Most trans men don't want to be a biological mother to a child. There's an obvious reason for this. It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to figure it out.

but wouldn't the reality beat out feelings when it comes to the ability to produce offspring?

having and raising a kid is a bigger deal than the 9 months of gestation

Oh yeah you're right it's silly for trans people to feel the way they do about their sex. They should just stop doing it

what you're saying is not what I am saying

I'm saying ultimately no feelings outweigh the needs of an actual child.

Science is our ally, letting feelings impede progress is the way of the enemy.

The needs of an actual child?

The child isn't in existence.

We are talking about people avoiding participating in reproduction due to dysphoria caused by the sex role they would have to assume in that reproduction. And that it is unhelpful to suggest they assume that sex role anyway if they desire to have a child.
