    Being a male, I can empathize with this question. It is not about a confusion of sexual identity. It is not about the unpleasant physical characteristics associated with being pregnant. It is about the disappointment a man can feel due to the fact that a male can never experience the emotional fulfillment that a women often express with regard to carrying, growing, and then giving birth of another individual, independent, human being. It isn't about envying women. It is about the missed opportunity on an emotional level of ever being able to experience such a maternal enatic event. How to come to terms with not ever being able to experience that event would be the same as overcoming any other disappointment. However, the emotional value in being pregnant, carrying a baby and giving birth just isn't going to happen! A male who has the emotional sensitivity needed to ask this question is, simply stated, a unique male with the capacity of a higher emotional IQ to those things in the world which surround him. Unfortunately, although he feels disappointment, it is not to the degree of being devastated or paralyzed. It is merely, disappointment. Since he can not physically become pregnant, he is "stuck with" the reality of his disappointment. I don't think there is a way to come to terms with it.
