"The now famous pregnant transman, Thomas Beatie, is approaching his due date. As we get closer to the birth of his daughter in July, I've been noticing an increase in "pregnant man" searches that are bringing people to this blog.   I recently came across a rather right-wing blog that had some ignorant comments that I found angering. I generally have a policy of turning the other cheek in these kinds of circumstances, since educating non-receptive people about ->-bleeped-<- can be an extremely frustrating and painful exercise. In this case however, I broke with form and left a one line comment about compassion."
