    Conservatives also fixate on trans women more than trans men, so they probably haven’t even thought of this situation.

    Stupid and myopic it is.

      This isn’t 1998, a huge amount of the hysteria over trans teens revolves explicitly around maintaining ‘healthy wombs’ (ex: ‘Irreversible Damage’). They’ve definitely thought about it because without fail it’s what the opponents of stuff like this immediately bring up. They just don’t care because the existence of trans men and how it would affect them doesn’t interfere with their objectives in the slightest.

      Trans men and trans women just occupy different spheres of threats to bigots. They see trans women as a sexual threat and trans men as a social threat. Their obsessive paranoia imagines their wives getting sexually victimized, but their daughters getting “brainwashed.” That’s why states are trying to make it a crime to even speak to children about trans issues or be trans in public. It’s not just the bathrooms or the medical care, it’s about trying to eradicate being trans at all.
