Is America ready for the world's first pregnant man?

by Corey Posted April 02, 2008 18:57:18

Thomas Beatie, who was born a woman, will be the first trans gendered man to carry a child. Though he underwent surgery to switch genders, he kept his female reproductive organs and is nearly six months pregnant. Making an appearance on the Oprah Show, he told Ms. Winfrey that his current wife Nancy was unable to conceive and that's the only reason he decided to go through with the pregnancy. Beatie was able to conceive via artificial insemination. "I'm a person and I have the right to have my own biological child," he told the talk show host. He expects to deliver a girl around July 3rd. So, is America ready for a pregnant man?

I think it is funny the storm of publicity surrounding this story. I saw a story about this on TV and for the first half of the show they don't mention the fact that it is actually a woman. When you add this little tidbit of information it really doesn't matter. I mean a pregnant woman, WOW!!! I didn't know that could happen. Look here is the deal, if it sounds like a woman, has the bone structure of a woman, and all of the reproductive parts of a woman.... IT'S A WOMAN!!! Sure a flat-chested, harry, ugly woman, but still a woman. BFD! Whats next the first man with a menstrual cycle or the first woman with a Adam's apple?

I think it is different , but I think you as a person should have the choice to be able to do it if you choose to do so.

yeah, here's what I think: that baby is gonna have a f**ked up life. its weird. its not the way god intended. I dont wanna get into politics and religion but this goes waaaaaaaaaay beyond my experimental curiousity.

imagine if you grew up knowing your dad gave birth to you. this baby is going to be in the news his whole life known as the 'kid born from a man' or something similar. think of all the kids at school that are gonna make fun of his/ her dad. True, its that man's body, but it's the kids entire life at stake now. that's who i care about.

I don't think it really counts since he was born a she.
