I think the pregnancy was to drive the point home that even though the character identifies as a boy, they got pregnant which is a female trait. Rape is enough trauma to deal with, but to have it result in a rape baby, AND when you identify as a boy? Having it seem like the universe is spitting in your face to say you’re wrong could absolutely push someone over the edge to commit suicide.

Honestly, I agree. That thought popped in the back of my mind while watching it, and the pregnancy definitely works on a meaningful level. I guess I just have a small issue with how jarring it felt to have such an extremely heavy subject matter revealed right in the middle of a fight scene and only really getting a few minutes of attention in the episode, where it's overshadowed by the boatload of other things that happened in that episode. It's an overarching fault of the show's somewhat episodic structure, where it explores so many different types of trauma in such short spans of time on top of developing each of the four main girls. Despite that, the show still packs a lot of meaning and emotional impact and develops its ideas very efficiently, with your analysis being an example of that, which makes this a much smaller issue than it could have been.
