When this first broke I had my usual, "Oh this is going to come out good" thoght. And despite several people posting about how its going to mess up the fundys, I didn't think so. I thought it would make their point for them. So, here from the Free Republic site - the holy grail of the wing nuts, are some sample comments.
Shall this person be listed as both father AND mother of the baby?
You are right. This is not a man. She is a disturbed woman who took male hormones and had her breasts removed.
Since she only removed breast tissue but really made no other permanent measure to being the male she claimed to identify with, I don't see how the law could have recognized her as a male.
I'm thinking of it in terms of protecting the child. This woman with a beard, no breasts, and a man's name is pregnant. What a tragedy for the child. If we could protect even one more child from having to grow up with such a "mother", it is necessary to change the laws.
You don't keep your ovaries and womb and claim you're now a man.
I don't think there are enough of this type out there to justify a policy beyond alerting the carnival.
It doesn't make sense that someone who thinks they were born with the wrong equipment would want to go through something that is antithetical to being male. I guess her exscuse is that she wants a biological child, but she was apparently fine with not being related to the child of her "wife" if not for the fact that person cannot concieve, so why not adopt (although I doubt many Freepers would be on board with that lol). Furthermore, if carrying the child was just a means to an end, Beattie would do so as anonymously as possible so that she could resume life as the "normal" man she supposedly wants to be. Therefore I must conclude that she is an extremely confused attention seeker who just wants to defy societal conventions without regard to the effect on her child. Occasionally you run into these zero population growth liberals who think people who have their own kids are selfish. Wonder what they would say about this.
If at some future time a preternatually skilled surgeon of the sort inclined to perform the mutilations called 'sex changes' were to develop a technique for transplanting fully functional reproductive systems into people of the opposite sex, I could see a case for arguing otherwise.
As it is now, it's just legal sophistry and mutilation aimed at abetting, rather than curing gender identity disorder (yup, it's still in the DSM-VI, liberal agitation among psychiatrists notwithstanding). (Truth be told, it still would be even with my hypothetical surgical procedure, but that procedure would have a strong argument for actually living up to the name 'sex change'.)
The freak is a woman - however demented and pathetic.
Why do the lamestream media identify a chromosomal woman as a he just because she had her boobs whacked off, took testosterone, grew a beard, and changed her name? Why do we play into their mentally deranged fantasies? And this person was so messed up, she couldn't even stick to the new gender she had picked, but decided to revert back to being a woman. And now with no boobs, a beard, and a man's name - she decided to become pregnant. This is sicker than even the usual transsexual. Some law needs to be written to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. At the very least, they shouldn't be legally called a male unless they give up their reproductive organs. Though I would prefer that we not feed into their derangements at all.
"Sex change" operations do not change this truth, they merely create counterfeit people who all have the same agenda- to lie to all the rest of us as to who they really are. I would like to know how most of these psychos get the money for this massive series of surgeries. It had BETTER NOT be from insurance plans, or any kind of government largess! (What do you want to bet it's both)
"My Mom's the one with the beard smoking a cigar"
for those who couldn't find any grounds on which to propose that the laws of the land should forbid such nonsense...
"He" is not male. "He" is a mutilated woman, with seriously disturbing psychological problems.
Sad to say, that's just the forefront of this story, more, much more, will follow, including it being brought up to courts.
