If you are a trans man (or enby), remember that T does not prevent pregnancy. While it can reduce fertility, people have and you can still get pregnant while on T. Do not play around with that shit if you don't want to get pregnant.

T IS NOT BIRTH CONTROL.

Hormonal birth control also has the added benefit of ceasing menstruation.

I read that trans men are just as likely as cis women to get pregnant, and way less of them use condoms or birth control. Figured some of y'all need this info. Have SAFER and RESPONSIBLE sex.

Edit: 69 upvotes. Heh.

incidentally, this applies for trans men who are straight but play with trans women as well

so really it's a universal thing for trans mascs, not just those of us who are gay or bi

Aren't trans women on hormones not able to get people pregnant?

While hrt for transfem ppl often impacts fertility pretty strongly, it's variable enough from person to person that it's a bad idea to assume sperm production is entirely nuked just from taking blockers and/or estrogen.

Edit: hopefully more inclusive language
