"No doubt you will have read about Thomas Beatie, "the transgender man
who is six months pregnant," (as one newspaper reported). Indeed,
every single account that I have read about this grisly little charade
has referred to Thomas as a he, not a "he" or as a she, though it is
quite clear that Beatie is no more a man than are Jennifer Lopez or
Dana."
