Reading that statistic at face-value, I would assume that it involves the recorded survival statistics of every infant born HIV+ globally. Given the standard and capacity of medical care in a place like the USA, I would assume that the survival rate in the USA is much better.
Obviously being born with HIV is dangerous but the mortality rate can't actually be that high in the developed West..can it..?

They are normally infected during the birth process, they will mega dose antivirals in the mother and the child will have a good chance of not getting born hiv at all.

HIV can also be spread through breastfeeding, surprisingly enough. Considering the narcissism and constant need for validation many transgender individuals have I could see an HIV positive mother breastfeeding her kid since "muh validation" is more important to her than not giving her child an incurable death sentence.

Can't directly quote @GenociderSyo for some reason.

Yeah this one really looks like Squanto. I'm sure her ancestors proudly walked across the Bering Straight Land Bridge and not the Atlantic in a West African slave ship.

quoting your post is broken, but I just wanted to say that this
There also is a gender affirming care directory with pictures. One even offers to help with "self-driven abortions".

was one of the the funniest texts I've ever read. All those they/thems, everyone shouting out Native tribes like it means shit, most everyone's job summary pretty much being "I hold someone's hand and tell them they are real and legit". It's hilarious. I know it's also grim as fuck and if I ever have kids and anyone looking like one of these people showed up when I was in labor, I'd yeet myself out of the hospital and give birth in a parking lot, but I was giggling too hard to really get into that.

Seeing all these women opting out of women hood by pumping ungodly amount of synthetic androgen amd declaring officially they are no longer women and then proceed to work the most female job, midwife, is truly something. Also the same with the bitches who still got pregnant and want to bweastfeed their babies. Funny how you can never escape biology, even when you go to the utmost extreme to deny the reality of being born with XX chromosomes

I don't know what "experienced pregnancy" means, whether that means "been pregnant" or whether that means "gave up my seat on the bus one time to someone who was", and I didn't want to ask, but there's this floating around Fecesbook:
Seahorses: Trans and Nonbinary Pregnancy

Call for Submissions

Please share widely!

Are you a trans or nonbinary person who has experienced pregnancy?

Seahorses is an upcoming anthology of personal essays by and for trans and nonbinary people who have been pregnant! Seahorses is edited by Simon Knaphus, a trans dad who has been pregnant multiple times and given birth to two fabulous kids post-transition. Simon’s publications include essays on transgender pregnancy and parenting in Rad Dad: Dispatches From the Frontiers of Fatherhood and Rad Families: A Celebration.

Please consider sharing an essay about your experience, in support of each other and those who come after us. No writing experience needed! Seahorses is looking for personal stories that share the many varied ways trans and nonbinary people experience pregnancy. Stories about conception, birth, miscarriage, abortion, and the many phases of pregnancy are all welcome, as are stories about the different ways we experience pregnancy: socially, physically, spiritually, the sky is the limit! Pregnancy can be many things, and we welcome a range of experiences including those that are difficult, complex, negative, positive, joyful, bittersweet, and more. Please tell your story, in your voice! Writing support is available. Submissions will ideally be 1000-4000 words.

Seahorses is especially committed to publishing BIPOC voices, and those of people with disabilities and other marginalized experiences. If you want to participate but are facing barriers, please get in touch. Submissions are welcome in all languages!

This project will not be publishing pieces by cis pregnancy care practitioners or trans people who have not experienced pregnancy, but we encourage them to share this call for submissions with community members who have experienced trans or nonbinary pregnancy.

Please send submissions to seahorses.book@gmail.com by July 31, 2023.

It's a way to "nonjudgmentally" include those delusional women of gender who have murdered their babies electively, along with those who actually have kids.

They are likely hoping to have a certain quota of abortion "representation."

Wow some sad sack of attention-whoring shit actually wrote their bio in the style of a Reddit tranny mod manifesto. On a supposed medical website. The absolute narcissism on display is off the charts. This is what happens when the pretension and identity politics of modern academia bleeds out into the open.

Yeah, you kind of lose the man title the moment you choose to repeatedly birth your own kids, especially when there were other options prior to that. Beattie is the closest I came to giving credit, since there's at least some logic to it, namely the whole 'infertile other half' element. Even then, just have a fucking surrogate using Beattie's egg, and a donor from the wife's family for sperm, or adopt, or literally any other option first.

The focusing on having kids and shitting them out of your still functional vag even with other options, repeatedly too by the way, means you're just a crazed bitch who mutilated yourself and made up excuses to avoid dealing with your brain problems.

The sperm donor that Beatie used is actually an anonymous donor who is Lithuanian-American, and not a member of the ex-wife’s family.

Beatie didn’t adopt because she wanted a genetic link, and didn’t use a surrogate because she didn’t want to put her demands on another person.

Side note, but Beatie had a rough youth. She was masculine, and her father disapproved. After her mother’s suicide, her father, sick of her acting masculine, made her do beauty pageants. She was a Miss Teen Hawaii USA finalist. She said that the dresses “felt like a costume”.
