Of transgender males and motherhood

There is a disturbing story in today's Telegraph, with a link to a Los Angeles magazine that first published the story, about a so-called "transgender male" who is, it seems, twenty two weeks pregnant. It seems that someone who was to all intents and purposes born a woman decided that she wanted to become a man, and so undertook hormone treatment and "chest reconstruction" and no more– which is, it seems, enough in America to make her "legally male" and thus able to marry another woman.
