I don't feel sorry for him, I feel what he's doing is the height of misogyny. Probably is lonely but that's down to being a shocking human, there's no give and take he's entirely self serving. I don't think he really wants a child, it's a publicity stunt.
Honestly these trans people calling me cis can get in the bin and I'm not a TERF either, they're trans and its usually pretty obvious.
Wee story, few months ago I joined a long queue for a toilet, there was no queue for the men's facilities. Someone joined it after me, clearly a man in female clothing, first time I was ever in that position, I wasn't scared or threatened but it was weird and several people in the queue passed awkward looks at one another. I consider myself tolerant but this issue is a fecking joke. I have encountered several trans women and they never have to tell me they're trans.
