So, ok, wait.
First of all, she looks great.
Second, I'm two years younger than her, and I already couldn't imagine having another newborn at this age. Woof. Good luck to her.
Ok. So to the matter of this article. The Princess Diaries came out in 2001. They're suggesting that gender-affirming care was already common enough and good enough that an unknown actress could access it in the late 1990s and have it pass undetected?!
Honestly I think that's harder to believe than anything I've read today.
Also, why would any prominent supposedly trans actress, having successfully passed as cis for 25 years of extreme scrutiny, choose to draw attention to her gender expression now? At an age when it would be somewhat unusual to be pregnant? In the midst of maybe the least-accepting environment for trans rights in history?
This is (at least) her third pregnancy. She probably didn't expect this nonsense on the third go round.
Sure, but that doesn't make it significantly more reasonable.
Made me curious so I looked up her age on Wikipedia.
Turns out I'm 48 days younger than her and look about two decades older 😄
