Thomas Beatie, First ever PREGNANT MAN???
Beatie, who was born female but underwent sex reassignment procedures, is reportedly pregnant.
His due date is July 3, 2008.
The revelation came in a March 26 article by Beatie, published in the biweekly LGBT magazine, The Advocate.
Fast Facts
- Married for 5 years
- Reportedly had not menstruated for 8 years1
- Reportedly took 1 year to gain access to a cryogenic sperm bank to purchase anonymous donor vials2
- Beatie says he always dreamed of having a child
- Doctor: Dr. Kimberly James
- Estimated due date: July 3, 2008
- Owns a T-shirt business, Define Normal, in Oregon
Reassignment Procedures
Born Tracy LaGondino, Beatie reports that he fell in love with his wife, Nancy, while living in Hawaii. He underwent sex reassignment partially because same-sex marriages are not legal there.
Beatie had testosterone therapy and chest reconstruction surgery, but retained his female genitalia.
Pregnancy
After marriage, the couple wanted to start a family, but Nancy was unable to conceive. Consequently, although Beatie is legally recognized as a male, he decided to carry the baby.
Beatie stated it took him two attempts at artificial insemination to become pregnant effectively and safely, and that nine doctors have been involved in the pregnancy.
Suspicions of a Hoax
Suspicions have been raised as to whether Beatie's story is true. Among the evidence raised has been that Beatie scheduled his first press conference for April 1, and that neighbors in Bend, Oregon who have seen Beatie recently claim that he shows no visible signs of pregnancy.
On April 3, Beatie appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show for his first television interview. A segment featured Beatie at an ultrasound appointment, adding evidence to his claim.
On May 19, Beatty was seen mowing his lawn, visibly pregnant.

Well, technically speaking isnt he really a she? I mean going back to the basics, what determines the sex of a person is the reproductive organs that person has at the time of consideration.
Even though this person went thru a sex change the female reproductive system in the person was intact. So technically,the person,IMHO, is a she. Whether 'she' wants to be called a 'he' is just a matter of preference.
So isnt this more like a case of one person in a lesbian relationship gettin pregnant by AI?
Whatever they did, they could have exercised a bit of discretion and kept it under wraps for the sake of their child- a child who is gonna be ridiculed,ostracized and discriminated against for no fault of its own.
How the child is going to be viewd by the society is a really disturbing thought!
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
what his parents did is against God! disgusting and unnatural! they should b put in prision or a mental institution!
I dont think that there is something wrong with what they did...who are we to judge them?...maybe their situation is unusual, but what they want is very normal just like all of us, a family...and this family will be complete with a kid...and the kid...I think he will be okay...unless there are some closed-minded individuals who will make life difficult for him...just because of what his parents did...
Now he is a BoyLady :)
EEEWWW! disgusting! they should b shot! this is why i left the usa!
He wasn't born with both bits,he was born a she and got a sex change but kept the internal reproductive organs. His wife is infertile, so they decided to do this. I don't see anything particularly wrong with it myself except that they seem to be selling the story for everything its worth. If they had remained quiet, or if he's girl'd it up for 9 months, no one outside of the family ever would have had to know and the child would be a "normal" kid (lord knows it probably wouldn't be the only child with 2 mommies or a daddy who used to be a mommy).

As what we know of Nature, the woman is to bear the child and the man to be the stronghold.
In this case, physiologically/anatomically abnormal for a man to give birth. As the person in question was born with BOTH (functioning) MALE & FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM is really unusual and bizzarre...
But to go to the level of being masculine in all physical aspects but could reproduce/concieve is WIERD...
We accept mistakes to happen, its a fact of life that we need to learn from,
and instead of preventing it to happen in the future,
we provide better conditions to have them repeated!?
the child is a special case , and deserves the best of attention..I agree..I only think that this sHe case is not an acceptable case as it is build on false info from the start..
an over ride of justuse so that 2 L can get leagly married..

Just sick, this story and the one about kids being given sex-changes... there goes all morality out the ******* door.
Motivation is when your dreams put on work clothes.

oh come on....this kid will grow up loved, yes I'm sure...but will be confused and probably tortured at school etc...lets look further than the people who think its a lovely thought and look towards the innocent childs feelings.....
it is not handicap issue
it is a matter of what is sHe to the kid
a Mom or a Dad...
Could sHe be both then what is the sHe wife to the kid,
If sHe is the Dad, then how does it make sense that sHe gave birth to it...
It seems as a fact that this can and will happen,
Yet it is not an ordanary situation,
and the Media has a big part in it
Math 4 All
Hmmm...
Good girls go to heaven,
bad girls go everywhere
many kids today grow up without a mother or a father.or with 2 mothers or 2 fathers.so what????i dont think that they all are handicaped because of that.sorry.

A complex kid it will end up to be...
God created Man and Women to complete each other,
So what is complete in this case..
Wiered, what next...
Math 4 All

Did u mention that this is medical in nature.. N what about your research on the condoms, Common what about your topic "DOES MEN'S SIZE REALLY MATTERS" and so on.
Your collections can be published in a book and you can get a good collection, may be it will cross the HARRY POTTER'S collection..
Im surprised Qatari still didnt ban you until now...

Worth discussing....by mature, broadminded people here in QL.
Unless you (and RED POPE) have something against ME and would rather HIT ME and not discuss the topic...
that would only shows how little your mind can decipher about the matter...
