Biology 101

Contrary to what a female law professor from UC Berkeley who was testifying on Capitol Hill last week told Senator Josh Hawley, a man cannot become pregnant and have a baby. The two clashed after the woman referred to "people with the capacity for pregnancy" during a hearing on the effects of the overturning of Roe v. Wade. 

The professor is obviously wrong on that point. Simple biology clarifies that even if a human born-as-female has her breasts surgically removed, takes hormones to grow a beard and chest hair and deepen her voice, declares that her pronouns are he/him and stomps around in construction boots, Wranglers and plaid flannel shirts, she's still not a guy. If that person then gets pregnant it's because she has functioning Fallopian tubes and a uterus, allowing the baby to grow inside its mother and exit out her vagina, and making the he/him wannabe the "mommy." (Someone please tell Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.)

It's kind of scary that the professor involved is teaching college students, or any students, anything at all, most of all law.
