“At the family planning center we know that men can get pregnant too,” I read on a poster from a French family planning center. At first I thought the poster was fake. After research I saw that the thing was real and that people were even proud of it and got angry at everyone who criticized it instead of talking to it. They express their pride about ‘dads who have given birth to their child’. The poster shows a black pregnant man with a beard next to a white partner, also with a beard. Ladies and gentlemen, it is an official poster of a family planning center in France.
