Dennis Prager argues that "men give birth" is a deliberate lie, claiming advocates use the phrase to blur the distinction between biological sex and gender identity. He contends the statement relies on linguistic sleight of hand: if trans men can give birth, then women can become men, which he says is logically impossible.
So here's the example. I say men give birth is a gargantuan lie. Everyone knows it's a lie. So one of the emails— I read one out of 100, there are people who've literally sent me 1,000 emails. You know, they're not threats, they're email stalkers. So one of them said, oh, you're lying, Dennis, about men give birth. We're not— we don't believe biological men give birth. We believe that trans men give birth. So that's how they get around saying men give birth. He's fooling himself because if that's what they mean, they should say trans men give birth. They never say trans men give birth. They only say men give birth because they believe you can become a man. That's right. So you can't have it both ways. You can't say I really don't believe it because what I'm really saying is a trans man can give birth. But wait a minute, then you don't believe a woman can become a man. You can't have it both ways. Either you can become a member of the opposite That's right.
