In my opinion, mpreg is anyone who identifies as male getting pregnant, be them trans men or otherwise. Fpreg is anyone who identifies as female getting pregnant, trans women or otherwise. To say that pregnant trans men are fpreg is, in my opinion, misgendering trans men. As a trans man, if I got pregnant I would feel I would fall into the "mpreg" category, not the fpreg. Yes, trans men are assigned the female sex at birth based on gender, but their identity should not be overruled by their reproductive system.
As someone who is not the media, but a volunteer with trans youth, we use transgender as an umbrella term, for all people who identify as a gender besides the one they were born with. We don't often use transsexual because sometimes people think it means attraction to trans people, and because some people feel the word is outdated and medical and don't feel comfortable with it. Medical establishment uses words such as transsexual, gender identity disorder, gender dysphoria, but not transgender.
Female to males can get pregnant, but it does involve not getting certain surgeries, and going off hormones for a while so their reproductive system can resume it's previous course.

Sorry, but as a trans man, I am not okay with being in the fpreg category. I am a man, and wish to be treated like all other men, and therefore, am in the mpreg category.

Birth lover!
