"Thomas Beatie is legally male but was born female and underwent gender reassignment surgery"

Published: November 15, 2008, 14:16

Los Angeles: Thomas Beatie, also known as the Pregnant Man, said he is expecting another child, according to media reports on Saturday.

Beatie gave birth to a baby girl on June 29. He became pregnant with the help of sperm from a donor.

On Saturday, he told Barbara Walters of ABC news that he has stopped taking male hormones after the birth because he and his wife wanted to have another baby.

He said the second baby is due in early June.

"I had my checkups with my hormone level…everything is right on track," he said.

Beatie is legally male but was born female and underwent gender reassignment surgery and hormone treatment.

He kept his female reproductive organs so he and his wife could have a family.

Speed, technically he was a lesbian before he started the process. Also it's an incredibly long process to go from female to male and he was in the middle of that process.

we are not against insemination process ... question here is that 'Thomas' is actually a female (born female naturally) ... first place you cannot play with God's nature ... secondly, if she has changed her sex to male and consider herself a male then why the hell she kept the women reproductive organ ?

Well, I feel that there is something fishy in her story ! For me I will never accept her as man coz she was born female not even a gay ;-)

We all know that this is all media conspiracy ... this is one case in millions and I doubt if many will follow the same in future !

Also I remember when the first test tube baby was born through artificial insemination a lot of people said the exact same thing that everyone on this forum is saying now. Now artificial insemination, surrogates, etc are the norm.

There used to even be a time when adoption was considered strange, wrong and shameful.

By Gypsy• 18 Nov 2008 09:31

Then society needs to change to become more accepting Speed. Just like when I was in elementary school the definition of family in my Social Stuides book went from a mother, father and children, to a mother and children, a father and children, grandparents and grandchildren, parents and adopted children, etc, now these definitions need to be extended to include 2 mothers or 2 fathers, as it's becoming quite common.

why would the kids hate themselves? they have loving parents, a normal life...seriously.

it's not revolting it's just different. and no, he's not a hermpahrodite- he's a transgender person, meaning he is in the process of changing from one gender to another. so he only has girl bits.

and ps: while a homosexual or a lesbian in the white house WOULD ROCK, that really has nothing to do with transgender at all. Sexuality and gender aren't neccessarily linked- a few trans people I know, while they have become, for example, a woman, still consider themselves straight and date women........or vice versa. you don't neccessarily change your biological or social gender based upon your sexuality, and your sexuality doesn't neccessarily change because you've switched what parts are in your pants.

"he is a man. he lives his life as a man. BUT he has female genitals. meaning he can get pregnant, carry and deliver a baby in the normal way. Doesn't mean he's not a man though."

Why not all be hermaphrodites and have done with the gender bending ..

it's the society which will not let them live in peace !!

Even though when the children will grow up and when they will find out that how they were born, they will hate themselves and their parents...

*high fives gypsy's little breath of sanity*

thanks...I was starting to wonder if i was the only one who had no issues with this at all......

just because some people seem confused: he is a man. he lives his life as a man. BUT he has female genitals. meaning he can get pregnant, carry and deliver a baby in the normal way. Doesn't mean he's not a man though.

and frankly, I agree with everyone else who's said it: I'd rather loving, caring couples like this have and raise children then let kids rot in foster care (70 per cent of adoptions in recent years have been by homosexual or lesbian couples). If they want to have a child to love and care for, and they are able to do so, why not?

now i'm just waiting, as i said, for the multi-cultural, mixed race lesbian muppets to teach us all about tolerance :)

I think they're going to make wonderful parents. They're current daughter is happy and healthy and the spit of her Dad (which isn't a bad thing to be given that he was a beauty queen before his reassignment). Now she'll have a wonderful brother or sister to play with.

As for what other kids will think, my guess is they won't think anything at all. Kid's don't have prejudices or hate, it's the parents that teach them that.

i watch oprah 3 or 4 months ago, and yet she is a very pretty woman, if he's a man, how come a man be a pregnant even if she change her gender as a woman.

Still it is impossible that a man can carry a baby on his own. And just wonder, how they do it? i just wonder.

Basically it went down like this: he was in the process of becoming a man, had taken hormones, grown facial hair, had his breasts removed, etc etc. He'd legally changed his birth certificate and all his other documents to become a man- the United States govenrment considered him a man.

However, he and his wife wanted to have children. and she couldn't. so, since he still had his female organs, he carried the baby, delivered it normally, and has a healthy child.

they've just announced they're pregnant again :) congrats to them!

there has got to be more to being a man than having a penis and being able to pee standing up!

how bout this- maybe he decided there was more to being a man than having a penis. and he'd rather keep his functioning female organs, so he and his wife could have children of their own, then have a non-functioning penis built for himself.

and you can be legally a male or female without having to change the parts- again, because there is more to being one or the other than the organs youw ere born with. he presents himself to the world as male, he lives his life as a male, legally, he's changed his birth certificate so it reads male. it doesn't matter what's inside his pants.

and the real freaks are the people who can't seem to mind their own business enough to let someone else be happy.

freak says she wants to be a man,goes to operate to become a man, but i dont get why she left her female organs still if she really wanted to be a man..(legally a man the american media says???? nothing legal about a man with female organs..i think she is just a normal everyday lesbian.....world going nutts.

oh please. the kids will be fine. First of all, kids are so much more accepting then adults- so the actual children these two have? Will probably not care. i saw them on tv and both the mother and the father are being very open about the situation iwth their kids. Furthermore, when he's not pregnant, the dad looks male- the average school kid, teacher, or parent WON'T know. Also, the look of families is changing- the nuclear family hasn't existed in decades, if it ever existed at all. two mommies, two daddies, etc etc is becoming a social reality. By the time these kids get to school age? Guraneteed there will be a multicultural lesbian muppet couple.

Listen people: there is physical gender and then gender identity. this man is a MAN. he was unfortunately born in female packaging. and was on the way to becoming a MAN in the physical sense when he and his wife decided that they wanted kids,a nds icne the wife couldn't have any, he'd have them. there is more to being male than having a penis, and more to being female than having a vagina.

Why surprised Speed. Given the chance no i wouldnt do the same, as a muslim this goes against my religious beliefs, but this isnt about me. For me when people decide to have kids, the most important is that they give love and care for the children they bring into this world. I would rather see a protected and loved child(even if its a lesbian couple), than torturted children with hetrosexual couples.

I have a friend who rasied two wonderful kids in a lesbian relationship and the love and care they provided was more than i can say for some "traditional" parents who physically abuse their kids.

Good for them, no doubt having gone through all this trouble to concieve, they will be wonderful parents. Regardless of societies views at least these parents will love and care for these kids which is more than i can say for some "traditional parents" who physically and emotionally abuse their kids. Just look at how some parents treat their own innocent kids, with the thread that Brit posted about abused children that caused a gruesome death.

Its not about what type of parents you have but the quality of parents you have.
