I can somewhat understand a point about distinction here: the trope isn\'t horribly clear whether it\'s about gender or biological sex. But... the arguments being presented here aren\'t exactly convincing and, intentional or not, really do mimic general transphobic arguments in general. \"then that open the floodgates says that\'s mpreg and fpreg are the same\" sounds uncomfortably close to \"I\'m just saying that sex is real\" tranphobic dogwhistles.

Gender being what it is, and this covering such a wide swath of examples, I fail to see how a transman it would be more narratively distinct than, say, a male impregnated by magic, or ArtisticLicenseMedicine, or BizarreAlienBiology.
