Well, this couple wanted a child. His wife couldn't have children, but he could so he did. So??
I found his picture (http://postbourgie.com/2008/03/21/thomas-beaties-rabbit-test/) on the editorials child board.
..and why do OB/GYN's feel "icky" when treating a pregnant transsexual man anyway? >:( I thought that physicians took something called a Hippocratic Oath ::) and that they were supposed to treat people, not judge their decisions unless those decisions endanger the patients' health. And as far as I am concerned being pregnant is NOT, in itself, a risk to health.
As someone who would dearly love to bear children, but never can, I say good luck to him, and to his wife and their child.

That's a mind bender for sure. I love that pic, thanks Tink!
Wasn't that great that the college would kick him out if he really transitioned? Makes you wonder why they call it "liberal" arts!

maybe because all of their pregnant patients are female & they don't know how to deal or what to do with a pregnant man? ;) this isn't something you see everyday tink.

It was covered on this morning's news. Actually, they did a great job with it, even though the anchor woman said it was a bit odd to see. Other than that, correct pronouns and everything! Woo Hoo!

Is it a miracle? A hoax? Or just tragedy in the making? Patrick Barkham on the frenzy surrounding the US transgender man reported to be expecting a baby girl
Friday March 28, 2008
The Guardian
Thomas Beatie lives in a former logging city in Oregon with his wife, Nancy Roberts. He has a beard and he has a bulge in his stomach that isn't a beer belly. Beatie, it is claimed, is five months' pregnant and the story has caused a worldwide frenzy.
Beatie, 34, is a transgender man, or "trans man". Born in Hawaii as Tracy Lagondino, he was a prominent gay-rights activist who found he identified with being a man. He underwent a sex change, which involved regular injections of testosterone, and having his breasts surgically removed (but keeping his female reproductive organs) and legally became a man.

Thomas Beatie, who is due to give birth to a girl on July 3, survived the ectopic pregnancy – but lost the tots and his right Fallopian tube.
