"Now identifying as male, Thomas legally married Nancy, the story says. The pair wanted a biological baby but Nancy was unable to carry a child. So they decided Thomas would"

Well now. THIS is going to screw with those fundies' heads.  >

LOL....should be interesting what those nimrods have to say about a guy getting pregnant.

Wow. Cool. More power to him. Not something I could do though. Must be pretty secure in his manhood.

indeed and some how i think they would almost be way too funny to see. but yet still worth seeing tho

It just goes to show... life is an incredibly rich array of options and experiences.  The fundies will go absolutely nuts with this.  I hope they lose lots of sleep over it.

Well, this couple wanted a child.  His wife couldn't have children, but he could so he did.  So??

I found his picture 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 actually scared me...
Gotta say he has balls doin it but still...

Wow - thanks for the picture, Tink. He is smokin. The image is wild though - like seeing a pregant belly on a male model or something.

That's so romantic.  That he was willing to do that as a testament to their love is insane.

Is pretty extreme. Reminds me of back when I once believed love conquered all.

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!

Tink, thanks for the link.  I also enjoyed reading the posts which were quite stimulating and intellectual for a change.  No bashing!  Wow.

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.

HONOLULU -- A pregnant man in Oregon making headlines around the world is originally from Hawaii.

Thomas Beatie used to be a woman. Before Beatie became a transgender man, he was Tracy LaGondino living in Hawaii as a woman.

The news media is just using this to make us look like Fools.

I can't wait for it to disappear.
