Pregnant man????

[countrygirl]

I caught part of the Oprah show the other day, and she had this "guy" on her show that was pregnant. Hmmm, "he" had had his breasts removed and took hormones to become a "man". Even became a "man" legally in Oregon...How on earth do you change your gender legally??? Sorry, "he's" still a she in my book...:smt102

WTH? What about the dude that impregnated him...her...whatever? If you're going to be a man,.....I'm having a hard time putting this into words. You use your vagina like a woman. but are a man...wtf?

[countrygirl]

Supposed he "grew" the necessary parts to be considered a male when the put him on hormones...

[Scarlett O'Hara]

If this is the one that's been on the news recently. HE used to be a SHE and took hormones to be a HE......and is now married to a SHE...........

It's My Right to Have Kid, Pregnant Man Tells Oprah


Transgender Man Says He Kept Uterus Intending to Become Pregnant Thomas Beatie, a former woman who is now a pregnant man, defended his decision today to have a baby, saying he has a "right to have a biological child."

Despite removing his breasts, growing a wispy beard and legally having his gender changed from female to male, Beatie, 34, kept his female sex organs intact because he hoped to have a child some day.
After years of struggling with his sexual identity and deciding to live as a man, he did the most womanly thing possible -- he became pregnant.
In an exclusive interview with Oprah Winfrey, Beatie said his lifelong desire to have children motivated him to use his still working female reproductive organs when he learned that Nancy, his wife of five years, was unable to conceive.
"I actually opted not to do anything to my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day. I see pregnancy as a process and it doesn't define who I am," Beatie told Winfrey.
"I feel it's not a male or female desire to have a child. It's a human need. I'm a person and I have the right to have a biological child."

Beatie was impregnated with sperm from a donor. His wife, Nancy, inseminated him at home with a device she said was like a syringe without the needle. They bought it from a veterinarian and it is typically used to feed birds.
He has an intact vagina, but he he did not say how he would deliver the baby.
Beatie, who was born Tracy, said he first felt he was trapped in the wrong body when he was in his 20s. He quickly went from a Miss Teen Hawaii USA finalist to taking testosterone and growing a beard.

Strange as you know what!

It's not a man it, is a mutilated woman.

[Prissy39110]

obviously he's still confused...he*l, he confuses me and I'm sane...i mean I KNOW WHAT GENDER I AM!

[MamaTyson74]

This is RETARDED!! What the heck are they going to tell the baby. Years from now they will be looking at family pictures and daddy will be the one pregnant, not mama.
Heck he let his wife inseminate him with a syringe from a dang vets office!! NUTBRAIN!!!

This is incredibly old "news."

[fear_imbeciles]

And you people are far too narrow-minded.

The only difference in children who have parents who are of the same gender and children who have parents who are of different genders is that the children who have same-gendered parents will be far less likely to grow up shunning/making fun of homosexuals.

The main reason most parents don't enjoy seeing homosexual couples or transgendered people is because they just don't want the task of explaining it to their children. :|

And yes, children with "different" family situations get made fun of by other children, but those kids' parents are to blame for not raising the kids to be more open-minded and acceptive of other types of people.

I just don't see what the big deal is. The pregnant person may look like a man but as long as he/she has female parts, as far as I'm concerned it's just a woman who looks like a man. I just don't see this as a "scientific miracle" or anything like that.....

This is old news. Shouldn't it be about time for the baby to be born?

This is old news. Shouldn't it be about time for the
baby to be born?
