Judge to Pregnant Man
I Don't Believe You're
REALLY a Guy ... Dude

An Arizona judge isn't convinced the Pregnant Man's marriage should be recognized in the Grand Canyon state ... because both man and wife have vaginas ... which might equate to same sex marriage ... which isn't legal in AZ.

The dispute is the latest speed bump in Thomas Beatie's divorce proceedings from wife Nancy ... who Thomas married in Hawaii back in 2003. The two represented themselves as a heterosexual couple because Thomas, a transgender man who was born a woman, had a state authorized change of sex before the wedding. Thomas says he has state-sanctioned legal docs to prove it.

But an AZ judge is calling the whole system into question ... refusing to preside over the divorce until he is convinced that the two were legitimately married in the first place.

Having been through an emotionally abusive relationship, I can not understand why the stupid judge can not issue a divorse.

Well it is Arizona.

If Hawaii was satisfied that theirs was a legal marriage, all the AZ judge needs to do is grant the divorce, yes?

This whole divorce thing has been a cockup from start to finish anyway.

I hate some of the comments on that article (and how many people liked them) - it really reflects the poor image Thomas has cast to the public of people trying to transition. The comments are actually quite triggering too.

Honestly, this article kind of infuriates me for many reasons, but one of them is because I feel like I can relate next to none with someof the decisions he's made.

Like what in particular?

Like what in particular?

Well, for one, to get pregnant and then decide to allow it to become public media.

I don't really think it's appropriate for me to continue to discuss my feelings about him here though.

It's basically derailing the topic.
