Though, if that's the case, having ABO genders would also be moot since everyone has the reproductive organs to conceive???)
Or maybe I'm misunderstanding the concept of omegaverse itself??

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing men dregnant, that in itself is already kind of a deviation from expected gender norms, what's not though is when literally everything a......
