We live in a gendered world—there is a constant desire to check a box that our society can most easily understand (I, too, play a part in this society sometimes). The box of “masculinity” as most understand it doesn’t always allow for more “feminine” desires like wanting to carry a child. If a masculine queer womxn is in a relationship with a feminine presenting womxn, the assumption is usually that the more feminine presenting partner would carry the child. However this isn’t always the case. ⁣⁣

In the short documentary “My Mama Wears Timbs” (available on @Youtube), self-identified “pregnant butch” @frankiefockerr explores the intersection of masculinity and pregnancy. As a cisgender woman who always wanted to have a baby, it was a simple decision for Frankie—complicated by a world that struggled to grasp it. “Children don’t care about how you’re dressed,” director @itsarifitz says. “A newborn isn’t worried about the fit of their mom’s pants or whether or not she’s wearing a dress.”⁣⁣
