>>As for midwives, they'll need them anyway. Not just for folks who decide to have kids but for female bodied folks who show already pregnant.<<
Maybe they'll get one like the nice nuns in Call the Midwife? Heck, a new order of midwife-nuns in tye-dye habits is a very amusing thought.
Come to think of it...ain't no rule that midwife-nuns must be women, or Christian. Nondenominational quasi-religious order of medics, healers and midwives with tye-dye uniforms? (Incidentally, is there a gender-neutral or gender-variant term for monk/nun?)
I would worry that an intersex condition might possibly complicate a pregnancy, depending on the exact condition and associated features, but I may be overthinking alot again.
...it would also be interesting if this settlement turned out to be a refuge for pregnant women (especially those who don't want to be mothers), orphans, and unwanted kids - kids could be adopted, and when adult, could stay or go as they choose.
