Radar Online reports that transgender male Thomas Beatie is ready to give birth any day now, as he's passed the due-date for his third child. Yes, his due date.
Thomas, born Tracy, had "reassignment surgery in 2002 but kept his female organs in the hope of one day becoming a parent." He's legally a man, legally married to his wife, Nancy, and is about to become a Dad... and a Mom... for the third time.
That's right. Beatie is the father of his children because he functions as such, but technically he's the biological mother of his children as well. He says he sees himself as his own surrogate.
