Testosterone does not make pregnancy impossible, that’s a very dangerous myth. Trans men typically don’t get pregnant because they either have/use some form of birth control, or dislike or arrive sex due to dysphoria, or only have AFAB partners. Many trans men are still very fertile. We would have to stop hormones in order to have a safe pregnancy, but getting pregnant on hormones is COMPLETELY possible and does happen.

Hm, yeah, sorry. I'm more familiar with the medical issues of transwomen then transmen. But you're right, the transman I know used an IUD for protection until he had a hysterectomy.

So for the possible pregnancy complications, transmen being well educated and EMTs considering it as a possibility is important.
