Content Warning! Mentions of pregnancy and how it relates to the term.

"A Ribbon Mom (or Ribbon) is a trans/non-cis woman (binary or otherwise) who desires to impregnate someone or has impregnated someone, regardless of if they are lovers or not. Any trans/non-cis woman may identify as a ribbon mom whether or not the individual has currently impregnated someone or is looking to inpregnate someone. Ribbon Mom extends further to when the child is born as well, making the term Ribbon Mom or Ribbon one that encapsules every stage of a trans/non-cis woman's reproductive journey."

This term is for trans/cisn't women who wish to impregnate or already has.

The term is not limited to only binary trans parents. Anyone who is cisn't and has the ability to impregnate. The term is often used to describe someone who's already a parent and the child is born, but is being more inclusively expanded to anyone looking impregnate, themselves.
