Title: Transgendered and Pregnant - New show on Discovery
Post by: Osiris on November 26, 2009, 10:56:50 PM
Apologies if this is already posted but I just saw the preview and figured I'd share.

Discovery health is going to have their 5billion shows on pregnancy next week a.k.a. babyweek. One of them will be about a trans couple who are having a baby.

Discovery Health Channel Babyweek (http://corporate.discovery.com/discovery-news/discovery-health-delivers-shock-and-awww-with-an-a/)
TRANSGENDERED AND PREGNANT
NEW SPECIAL! Premieres Tuesday, December 1, at 8 PM (ET/PT)
This hour-long special tells the amazing story of a transgendered couple-the wife, a male-to-female and the husband, a female-to-male transgender-expecting a baby under the most unusual of circumstances. In spite of ongoing hormone treatments, the male-to-female transgender wife managed to impregnate the husband, a female-to-male transgender-and Discovery Health's cameras capture the couple throughout the pregnancy leading up to the birth of their first child.

Well, I'm happy for the couple.  The publicity I'm not convinced is the least bit helpful. I mean, putting them on with shows such as Kate less 1 plus the 8, and the balloon boy hides out with the octo-mom just sensationalizes trans-genderism. Of course that's what television does. Someone tripping on the sidewalk gets a three part in depth investigative expose' on failing public infrastructure. Which, as a matter of fact, is failing.
