News that an American man is due to give birth to a baby girl this July has the tabloids all of a flutter. But the case of Thomas Beatie, 34, is not as miraculous as it might first appear.

Bearded Beatie, who proudly displays his baby bump in a striking photo, is a female-to-male-transsexual, also known as a transman. Or, as the Sun rather more bluntly puts it, 'Sex change bloke set to be a mum'.

I've been wondering what other F2Ms think of this?

I would think that things like going off T for a long time, giving birth, being pregnant, etc... would be emotionally difficult for a man?

Or am I unfairly stereotyping?

Somewhere on here there's a link to an article Mr. Beatie wrote himself, along with a bunch of comments in the linked article by, amongst others, a few FtM's. It sounds to me like it definitely is an issue, making this guy all the more of an RCP (really cool person) to risk it.
