Hey there! I’m a 60-something married dad who just discovered your videos, and I think you two are absolutely amazing! I’m so incredibly impressed by your courage and openness. What fabulous role models you are for young people who need this kind of support. My most sincere best wishes to you both, and thanks for sharing your life together with the world. Love and hugs!
I wanted to like this, but it stands at 333. Not going to kill that. ETA: It now stands at 402. Will the comment be lost when two more readers like it?
When I hear "there are too many kids who need homes" it doesn't make me think more people should adopt it makes me think more people should have free access to birth control and sex education so they can choose to have children if/when they are ready.
Agreed, adoption is a major crisis. But don’t forget about children taken away due to abusive parents. I think there needs to be more education all around in schools and more help for parents struggling :) x
@@ripstarboy though if it would be really cheap, imagine what kind of people would take children and would could they put them through. It's sad that the adoption isn't cheap and easy process, but it is the way it is for a child to have a better life than they were born into...
Every time I watch a video with both Jamie and Shaaba, no matter how interesting the content is, I spend half the time thinking 'God, these two are so in love.'
"So, yes, how do we have kids? We both want kids." "Well, how can we have kids?" "Ten kids." "If you want ten kids, you're on your own." one of my favourite parts in this video 😂
Shaaba: "I have POS, which means my fertility is also questionable" Jamie: "Yes. And I have silicone balls, that's why my fertility is questionable" I had to pause to breathe after that. 😂
I didn't realize how much this would apply to me as a bisexual woman, and I'm on the brink of tears. I never knew that I might be able to have biological kids with my future partner if they were a woman, and it's honestly such a relief that that might be an option
Pemanil Noob no I meant like spiritually/mentally because you know how dads have those awful jokes like when you say “dad I’m hungry” and the dad responds “hi hungry, I’m dad”. It’s that low level of humor we call “dad jokes”. Jamie called Shabaa “awww” which have me dad joke vibes so that’s why I was like “he’s already a dad”. Get it?
@@emptyhead2777 Eh. Murders someone by accident? Kills someone by accident would be Involuntary manslaughter. "A killing that stems from a lack of intention to cause death but involving an intentional or negligent act leading to death." Murder is with malice aforethought and intentional. And ironic is a weird word in this. Tragic would be the word I would use.
@@briaisabanana7031 I think they meant that it would be "ironic" if their cute and polite child became a murderer. I just nitpicked on Ninjacoolhead Alerts use of the phrase "murders someone by accident" which isn't achievable.
I’m a biomedical engineer and the way that you two were explaining the complexities of fertility therapies/ genetic engineering were absolutely fantastic! Entertaining, easy to understand and spot on!
I have 3 half-brothers because my father was sperm donor for a lesbian couple who are friends of my mom and dad. It's really cool because they are around the same age as me and my brother and we go to each others birthdays etc. ❤️❤️
That's actually genuinely so heart warming to hear how your siblings are included in each others lives. Your dad is a very lovely person to help your family friends have children like that.
At least he knew what he was getting into I've seen a trend these days with some lesbians that trick the men to have babys with them and take em has anyone else seen this cause I have seen this 3xs already
@@nonsensetalk8953 no. All children need is a loving home and parents that nurture them and care for them, to be the best they can be, to be there when that child needs support and love. How do I know this to be so??......my father was adopted from the age of 2 into a family that gave him all he needed to become the adult and loving father he now is to me and my other siblings. That's all children need, loving parents and a stable home.
Nonsense Talk Jesus calm down. It doesn’t matter if a parent is trans as long as they love you. Same as having parents who are both male or female, or would that be very confusing and bad for the children too?
I’m asexual, and while I just discovered it recently, I’ve always known I didn’t want to have children biologically, it just makes me a little uncomfortable thinking about it, but I do plan on maybe adopting in the future, although I’d definitely want an older kid, cuz I’m not very good with younger ones, and I think it would be a good thing to do, although I may change my mind in the future, it’s not like it’s gonna happen soon
I'm the youngest of two, but am raising a large family (very close to yours). I get mixed reviews from my own kids, so how did/do you like being the oldest of ten?
To know my future wife and I can have a child that's biologically ours made me cry. I don't know if I want kids but the option being there is so heart warming. Thank you for this.
I was an IVF baby, my parents had one of the most successful rounds of IVF in history. They had one stillborn baby(RIP Josiah), one round of twins, and me. I was a very strong egg. I'm not sure how many rounds they had though
Hey guys, Im a french phD biology student ! I just want to mention you that your last option is fully achievable but you only can have girls because any of you have Y chromosome in his DNA and science can’t create one ! But if I understand correctly girls is what you would have so its perfect for you ! Send you french scientific love !! ❤️
Single mom by choice here....I wanted a girl and did PGD genetic testing with gender selection, and had 2 girls and 2 boys (embryos). I put in 2 girls, got a chemical pregnancy. Froze the 2 boys for later. Next cycle, put in all 3 embryos without testing and ended up pregnant with 1 boy. I'm due next week. So, sometimes you want a specific gender, and unless you pay $$$$$ to keep sorting the embryos according to gender with IVF, you won't get what you want. There's no guarantee that when you put in girl embryos that they will implant and result in the live birth of a biological girl.
I am so happy for you's. My husband's late wife was transgender. She was a beautiful kind woman. Always grateful as she had a huge part in showing my husband how to be a good husband. God Bless you both
I am a conservative Christian person that doesn’t usually get very opened minded about things like your circumstances but wow I am in love with you both. You are both doing amazing things. Thank you for sharing.
I also want to adopt an older child (when I'm older, of course). Everyone is so quick to flock to babies but I wanna give an older kid a chance at a loving family.
You should DEFINENTLY adopt older kids!! Older kids are usually thrown to the side all the time in my country because everyone wants babies and toddlers, Specially kids that are already somewhat going through puberty.
Yess. A lot of teens and preteens kind of get pushed to the side because they aren't cute and sweet any more. But that doesn't mean they don't deserve a chance at a loving family.
Yes. Alot of the time people never get them because they want a baby or toddler. And most of the time they're adopted they're abused which is absolutely horrible! Thank you for wanting to adopt older kids!
I am adopted an my mom and dad let me know very early in my child hood that I was adopted, mom told me that I was very much loved an I was a blessing,why?? Because my rotten hearted cousins, ( my moms sisters little bastards) constantly told me I was unlovable an a mistake, ! So hears my point, when you all adopt please be the 1st to let your kid in on it , before anyone else does, not saying either one of you have rotten hearted bastards in your family.💖💖💕💖💖💖
Your cousins sound really nasty! I am sorry they said that to you. I agree, you should be the first person to tell your kid that they are adopted. You should tell your kid that they are adopted at all, because if the adoption is easy to hide (when it comes to background and things like that, and if your kid has some resemblance to you or your family), it could come out in a very ugly way.
My brother and I was bullied by my cousins when we were little and it was more than just unloved it was a bunch of things . I still think about it everyday . I'm glad to hear someone's story as well thank you . You made me night
*I wasn't adobted but I agree with you 100% . I want to adobt all of my children when the time comes . I hope I get a teenager as well as a toddler or younger
I was adopted as a baby.....all ok with family, as far as I can tell...but, I did get teased by kids!! That affected me negatively in some areas....oh, well at least was long before social media!!
I want to do the 3 person baby thing or the invitrogenisis thingy. Im not trans but i am a lesbian so these methods would also work for me, this video was really interesting and is helpful for so many different types of people!
The three-person baby thing was a bit confused, but it was presented pretty confusingly in the media too. To understand this, you need to know a bit about mitochondria. Mitochondria are like little mini-organisms that live inside your cells and help them. The mitochondria are very important in the way cells use energy, you might have heard "the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell". The mitochondria have their own DNA which they use to make more mitochondria and to make the tools they need for their energy processing job. That's all the mitochondrial DNA is for. Mitochondrial DNA doesn't code for much that's visible in the overall human, or anything you'd think about to do with relatedness in families. The only time you really notice differences in mitochondrial DNA is when something is very wrong, and the person is very ill because their mitochondria can't do their energy processing properly. Egg and sperm cells both have mitochondria, but an embryo gets all it's mitochondria from the egg and none from the sperm. In a "three person baby", you have the nuclear (main) dna from the two parents who will be bringing up the child, and the mitochondrial DNA from the "third" donor parent. This is useful when the parent who makes eggs has a mitochondrial disease. It allows that person to have biological children using their neuclear DNA without passing on their faulty mitochondria, so they can have a healthy child they're still related to. Taking mitochondrial DNA from Jamie wouldn't make the baby related to him in a way that would make much difference, because the mitochondrial DNA is only used for the way the cell uses energy.
@@SomeoneBeginingWithI mitochondria don't have dna.... Dna is in the nucleus..... Mitochondria is where respiration happens but the nucleus had the dna. They put the nucleus in the sperm cell
@@caraashji Mitochondria absolutely has DNA. It is separate from the nuclear dna and is passed from egg only to zygote, unlike nuclear DNA, which combines DNA from egg and sperm to form baby. The technology is, in fact, permitted to address problems people have because of poorly performing mitochondria, which is near guaranteed to pass on.
Well to be fair if males were taught that info then they would understand too, the problem is that the subject is often off limits or something when teaching boys about puberty then they grow up ignorant and females complain about them not understanding. Education is the answer to this problem
@@ciannacoleman5125 I mean not exactly. I haven’t met any males who find it gross or are completely 100% uneducated on it. It’s just level of maturity. Like how old the male is. By the time most guys are 14 they understand it a lot more lol
@@naomiivii4309 Unfortunately I have met quite a few teens over the age of 14 who are still very uncomfortable with it. I would say over all that as adults almost all of them figure out its not something to be grossed out by. But you're not wrong. 14 seems about the age that it would become more normal to them
Just wanted to tell you - I study for a BA in psychology, and one of my electives in a class about psychology of gender. The professor is super cool and she always inserts all kinds of pictures and videos in the lesson. Anyway - we were talking about trans people, and the video she chose to show was your 3 years on T video! I was too excited for my own good...
TERF isn’t a sexist slur, you absolute ignoramus. How someone has it in their hearts to be so transphobic is beyond me, we must support our sisters, not just our cis-ters
I think that there are a few predatory people out there who use the transgender movement to advance their own agendas (e.g. Jonathan/"Jessica Yaniv) , but the majority of transgender people just want to live their lives quietly as their perceived gender and most people would not even know better. We should not paint the whole transgender population with the brush of some loud, attention seeking individuals.
@@standup2982 ok...you must be very uneducated. "Pushing an agenda"? In college? For studying gender?! That's LITERALLY what they signed up to learn about. Its not an agenda, its education. That's like saying going to school for French is pushing a French agenda. But you wouldn't say that, because that is stupid. Just accept your anti-trans movement is dumb and pointless, TERF.
There are another option called embryo donation or embryo adoption, where you can adopt embryos from another couple who has went through IVF and has embryos left. This would of course be a form of adoption and the baby wouldn’t be biologically yours, but it would allow Shaaba to be pregnant with your adoptive child
I have friends who did this because they were both infertile, and now they have 3 children. It's always amusing when someone comments about how much the babies look like them, because...well... LoL
My husband and I did IVF because of fertility issues, but we got more embryos than we were told it was possible/most likely. We were initially planning to take them all through time, but when we found out how many they actually were, we got scared and doubtful. I really hope they are going to make embryo donation legal in our country (Italy) because we want all of them to have a chance at life. I don't want to die knowing that one or two are still frozen there. A friend of mine did IVF too, and she said she wouldn't donate any embryos left, mostly because she would be too scared that that person and her "own" children could meet and have a romantic relationship. I would donate in a blink, without a second thought, to anyone from a relative to an anonymous couple of any gender on the other side of the world.
@@carr0760 I'm not surprised someone sees a resemblance where there is 0% biological relation. Looking like someone is a lot about attitude, demeanor, walking, facial expressions, style and so on... things we early learn rather than being born with. one more proof, if we needed any, that a child's "real" parent is the person who loves them, raises them and cares for them.
I’m a young trans man who in the future sees having biological kids as an option, thank you for opening my eyes to more opens that that don’t require invasive procedures and more female hormones and injections and compromisation or delay going on testosterone, wishing you and shaaba the best in all your future kiddy endeavours
In French, IVG is "interruption volontaire de grossesse"... So, basically, abortion... As a French person, my brain definitely took 10 min to understand you correctly 😭
I learned about stem cell research in biology and my first thoughts were (oh my god can same sex couples have kids now) and I didn’t ask since I’m at a catholic high school and I’m in no way out and that’d be awkward, but I’m so happy IVG can be a thing so soon too because the world is progressive and this sounds wonderful.
@@yasharahmed7601 no one's sure, I've seen anywhere between 5 years and 20. Obviously if its on the latter end of that estimate it won't be an option at all for most people currently or shortly looking to have kids.
@@Potatopot724 The answer is it can be possible in humans in bout 5 years, but it'll take 20 plus years of ethical debate to figure out how to safely use it without having designer babies.
Shabba: We both want kids Jamie: How can we have kids? Shabba: 10 kids Jamie: If you want 10 kids you're on your own. Shabba: I absolutely don't want 10 kids.
Omg I was confused for the longest time because in France IVG stands for abortion ! (IVG = Interruption Volontaire de Grossesse = voluntary pregnancy interruption) I could tell I had heard the term before but was very confused about the explanation you guys gave !
@SMG Because since the initials were familiars to her/him/them because they probably live in France, they got confused. The same goes to you if suddenly in a serious conversation the initials FBI were brought up. It's not about the American FBI but something else, so what? You thought it was the American FBI for a sec but you can't think that even for a split second? Riiiiight....
I’m so glad you mentioned a “three-person baby”! I suffer from a rare physical disorder that has 50% of being passed on to my children. I had no idea this was even possible. Definitely looking more into it!
I love you two. I love this channel. That being said, as an adopted person who is very familiar with the issues in adoption and sperm donation, please consider a donor who the child can find when they are an adult. Just having the option to search and find family/genetics/whatever later in life can mean everything to young people. It's just part of our identities and children do grow up and often really want to know everything. Good luck on your journey.
This is why I only considered ID Release sperm donors when picking the sperm I've been using to try to conceive. I don't know if my kid will care. But if they don't, it won't have mattered, and if they do, it'll be better for them to have a donor who has agreed to be open to meeting.
Jessie and Claud have started talking seriously about having kids, I'd love if you guys did a follow-up video asking them what route they are considering and why; it'd be interesting to get their opinions.
Yeah, those two were discussing sometime in the new year. I think time with the nephew and buying the house are nudging them in the “okay, maybe baby time” direction.
oh my what. im a straight trans guy wanting children and almost gave up on this because its impossible but according to the last option its not! it sounds incredible! i have hope again! i would love to know more about ivg
Thank you for what you said about its okay to want biological kids. I'm infertile and have heard "oh, just adopt" but adopting has never been something for me. And I already have step children. People dont ask people who are pregnant why they didnt adopt instead of getting pregnant so why should that be suggested for anyone who has struggles to concieve.
Because they can have children and you can't!! Simple as that! I did have two of my own children and then wanted to adopt! But then came the unforeseen circumstances, like my husband cheating on me. But I would have been more then glad to adopt a hundred children if I could. So get the chip off your shoulder, ugh.
@@ellenrichardson8701 No chips here. But, why should those who are infertile be the ones to adopt children? The logic literally makes no sense. It's not really fair to the adoptive children either, they should be the FIRST choice. Maybe try understanding from an empathetic perspective and you'd understand, if you're capable of doing that.
@@angieeemmmarie Whatever floats your boat honey! Coming across in a manner of speaking, that any adoptee would not be good enough for you, because that is your simple mindset. So no, you should not be the person to adopt if you feel that you can't love them as freely as you would your own child. Sad....
@@ellenrichardson8701 I think it's more to do with the biological instinct to spread your genes that some people have that is hard to get over not because they dont want to adopt. However yes you're right adoption should be thought about more by some people too because its not all about biological instincts. However some people bio instincts are very strong so... adoption is not a second choice and is not worse def not, it's just that some people have different instincts some want to adopt a lot more than others instinctually.
Try searching for ivig. I was taking ivig for a couple of years. I take it because I have Multiple Sclerosis. I am a part of the family. I have a partner the past 17 years.
Ooh it gets right on my last nerve when people state that people with fertility issues should "just adopt because there's children who need a home". You're so right Shabba, adoption is very much a personal choice, it's not for everyone, and its damm hard to even be approved let alone actually adopt and bring up an adopted family.......and it's not the responsibility of those with fertility issues to adopt!!! Its a ridiculous concept. How many cis couples wanting children get told to adopt rather than having bio children, or only expand their family with adopted children?! As if fertility issues aren't hard enough to deal and live with, then comes along others judgement and shame to really smack you up round the head! Have your family however the heck you can guys. So long as it's safe for you both and baby long term, then do it. Trust me when I tell you, life is too damm short. Love to all x
I hear you. The only people i regularly say that to are those who are anti-choice on the basis that the babies will be adopted. That just pisses me off.
I suppose the question I have with the '3 person baby' is how do you balance a personal right/need with a process that is akin genetic engineering and DNA manipulation. For me, I would be very nervous about having a child this way just so I would feel a hypothetical biological connection. That said, I wish them all the best, they seem like a loving couple who should be able to be parents.
@@jamesdavison8177 totally understand your concern here. The same concerns were, and to a certain degree still are there regarding donor egg/donor sperm/donor embryo and egg sharing etc. This is obviously an extremely contentious and important topic, which I'm sure over time will evolve. It will take an awfully long time to be considered before used, especially in the UK where genetic modification is very regulated (for instance eye colour is one of the many genetic characteristics that can be chosen, but the UK don't allow it in fertility treatments, and genetic testing and its implementation is only currently for chronic health issues of the child that may be passed down from the biological parent/donor). If this will ever come to pass in our lifetime is yet to be seen, but I'm forever hopeful for the continual discoveries and improvements in fertility treatments, and pregnancy conditions, because so much of our creation and growth is still very much unknown.
While successful mice trails is huge. Making that leap from mice to human is tougher than most would think. That 2.5% difference is more significant than it appears.
@@mossisstumped why would you cry, that's not even normal. You should really see someone about your lack of emotional control (especially when you cry at something that is not even a tad bit emotional)
@@hamzaxx6722 , while I appreciate your concern, as someone who knows that at some point they want to have children and also that that may be with someone who is the same sex as them, I do in fact, find it "a tad bit emotional" that it may be a possibility in the future to have biological children with that person. It is something that I never thought would be possible and so to hear this so suddenly made me have a slightly emotional reaction. I can see how someone who this doesn't affect as much might not understand this, and maybe you are one of those people, however I think that this kind of news to a person like me seems like a perfectly normal thing to have an emotional reaction to. All the best wishes💕 ~SparkleyLemon
I’m a kid of the care system and I now work in it as a support worker. Believe me when I say that adoption isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and I got one am absolutely not judging you for wanting to have your own children. I work with so many young people who have been adopted and eventually ended up back in the system because their parents didn’t have enough support. People see adoption as this magical thing that fixes all problems, and don’t get me wrong, when it works it’s amazing, but it’s the perfect thing that we’re often led to believe. I’m not trying to put you off adopting though, I just wanted to throw in my opinions and experiences. 😊
I know this from a different perspective as the younger sibling of kids who were adopted and it turned out badly. My parents (bio parents of me) adopted my cousins because they were being abused by their parents, and they both ended up sexually molesting me, and one of them ran away at 16 and didn't come back, and the other got returned to the foster care system when my parents realized he was a danger to me. Turned me really against older adoption for a long time, and only gradually got to the point where I might consider becoming a parent to an older adopted kid. And one of my hard limits is that I want my older adopted kid to be my youngest child, preferably with a significant age gap between them and any other kid I have, because I was over a decade younger than my cousins and utterly helpless, and if I end up adopting a kid with similar issues to my cousins, I don't want them having access to a vulnerable younger child.
I have a bisexual family member, and if he ends up with a male partner, I plan on offering my eggs. I wouldnt be comfortable being a surrogate, but I think it would be nice to allow them to have a child they are both related to
Hi! Great video (as usual). Just a small precision (because I’ve got to flex that Biotechnology MSc), in the « sperm boat » scenario there would actually be no trace of Bob’s DNA in the child , the child would get 23 chromosomes from Jamie and 23 from Shaaba + her mitochondrias (and so the mitochondrial DNA) also the child would automatically have 2 X chromosomes. A scientist in Brazil claimed to have made a 3 parents baby (to fix a mitochondrial disease) but I don’t think the research was published in a peer reviewed journal so it’s not that reliable of an information 🤷♀️ (Sorry for my English, I hope there’re not too many mistakes)
My wife has PCOS as well and no natural ovulation. So we had to revert to IVF to stimulate the follicles to mature. Little over 1 year later, it resulted in 9 fertilized eggs, 5 still in the freezer, 3 failed attempts. But two days ago we had our first positive pregnancy test ^_^ I wish you two all the luck, and may your wish come true as has ours (even tho we ain't there yet, so many hurdles yet to take)🙏
About 3 person babies, as a lab scientist i think they indeed only do this for mito diseases. You should however check cause the problem is I heard female and male DNA is methylated differently so taking jamie s oocyte dna might not work. It might take a while till we can do this.... i hope it will be on time for u. X
Yeah, imprinting could be an issue. I know for example Prader Willi Syndrome can result from having two maternal chromosome 15s and no paternal 15, and there's a whole bunch of other syndromes like that. So if Jammi's egg's nucleus doesn't figure out it's supposed to be providing the paternal component when it's put in a sperm, then the resulting baby could have a lot of issues.
I'm so happy I came across this video, my girlfriend and I have been doing research on how we could have children together, and we came across a process that would use my bone marrow as sperm and her egg, or vice versa. The process was still very much in the making, and we never came across a set name for it. This sounds a lot like IVG, and a lot less painful as drawing bone marrow is not at all an easy process. We are incredibly excited about this process as you both are, and I really hope for all of us and many other people out there that it soon becomes a fully functioning process!
me watching this: HOLY FLIP THIS IS AMAZING!!!! me later: I´M GONNA SEND THIS TO AL MY FRIENDS TO RAISE AWARENESS!!!! PS. this is so cool, science is amazing and i love your videos!
random thing: they include hobbies and profession cause genetics are weird as shit and sometimes it *does* in fact carry over and it’s really weird and unexplainable but i act just like my biological mother but i’ve never met her and it freaks my dad out sometimes
This is such a great video!! I’m sure this is something that most trans people don’t have enough information about, and I’m looking forward to continue seeing your journey.
The scientific advancements are amazing! You two are lovely, open-minded people and will be wonderful parents. Gd bless you on your journey to parenthood! ❤️🙏🌈
Lol, I think the concern is that it could enable people to try and create a sort of genetic caste system or completely eliminate people with certain traits that are considered undesirable. Yes, it's a complicated issue since most parents want their kids to have the best health and life that they can, but it can also lead to ideas like eliminating fetuses that are likely to have autism, which would be a massive loss to the world (and is obviously not a cool implication to the many autistic people who already exist and struggle for respect in a world that isn't always accommodating to their needs and rights as human beings.) Diversity is part of what makes our species so strong, and reducing it with such precision is a potentially scary thought. The same thing could unfortunately be done to eliminate gay people and trans people and other marginalized folks if they could pinpoint a genetic marker for those traits. That's why the whole scientifically proving that we're born this way idea is a mixed blessing, because it can lead to elimination attempts instead of acceptance of natural human diversity.
No it means people could use a specific set of DNA to reproduce which limits the gene pool (this is the reason why incest is illegal too) which has health implications. Especially if a new disease that targets this DNA is discovered, which means everyone would be put at risk
Hey, IVF baby here! Both my parents are straight and cis, but my mom had issues with her eggs so they had her sister donate an egg and my mom carried me! (It's the same thing you were talking about with using Jamie's brother as a sperm donor, just with eggs instead of sperm.) I just thought it was cool that other people knew this was an option! Every time I explain it to people they think it's this crazy miracle thing so it was fun to hear it mentioned so casually in this video! Also, I have 2 adopted brothers and totally love the idea of adopting older kids who got stuck in the system! Y'all are gonna be great parents when the time comes :)
Y’know being apart of the LGBTQ+ community and liking the same gender as me, even tho I don’t want kids ever as of right now, this is so cool to know that there are options to have kids with a partner of the same gender biologically or that is transgender if I ever did want kids.
Kind of off topic but i just want to throw it out there: It's ok to feel like a stem cell that hasn't found its purpose from time to time. You will find your place in life eventually!
the last two options I hope to help develop once I finish my degree in bioengineering! Stem cell research and genetic modification are my passions, and knowing that couples like you guys would seriously benefit from that work, it makes me even more excited for the future! I do believe that to get the cells from Jamie for the final method, they dont need specifcally stem cells, there is a process to turn specified cells into nonspecified cells/stem cells and into other cells again. That process was developed only 3-5 years ago, and now it's being planned to be used to help infertile couples have children and help treat or cure genetic diseases, its just amazing technology and I wish people weren't so stigmatized against it.
@S011D Most biology professionals are 100% supportive of all kinds of trans people! Im surprised you haven't met more of us! All of the teachers who teach biology at my highschool were supper supportive of everyone in the LGBTQ and wouldn't take any bullshit from LGBTQ-phobic kids. They actually started a tradition at the school by putting LGBTQ Safespace stickers on their windows and almost every other teacher joined in soon after. They were my inspirations for going into biotech, gene therapy, and stem cell research, and I'm going to put those skills toward helping people just like they helped me through Highschool in an extremely religious town.
