Hey all...

By now you must be living under a rock to not have heard about this pregnant "man."  Thomas Beatie was born female but has always thought of himself as a man trapped in a woman's body.  With that said, "he" began taking hormones, began to grow facial hair, and had "his" breasts removed - which "he" says was the most "freeing day of my life."

Thoughts?

He is legally a man now.  It says on this passport, driver's license, etc.  "He married a five years ago ago twice now Thomas hads put "his" still-in-tact female reproductive organs to good use and became pregnant through a donor father.  Thomas and "his" wife (who's not able to have children) had the baby a few months ago.  Now Thomas is pregnant again (* pick your jaw up off your computer desk *).

From most external indications Thomas is a man.  "He" has a beard and muscles - and a voice like Michael Jackson.  The press has been salivating over this story.  In the past couple weeks since the announcement of "his" pregnancy Thomas has been everywhere including Larry King, Good Morning America, and even a sit down 20/20 exclusive with Barbra Wawa.

What are your thoughts on this whole thing?  Do you think "he" is now a man since he's legally declared one and looks like one?  This story is quite a talker.

Your a woman of course you can get pregnant.

Just how powerful is the devil that he can convince some that they aren't a woman but are a 'man trapped in a womans body'. Or vice versa. When you're confused about whether you're a man or woman,you got some SERIOUS issues,folks,and not good ones. Better to go see a shrink and get your head back on straight then to pull the stunt this character did.

Why don't we call this "person" what she really is - a lesbian and stop giving her all the attention she, for some reason, craves?

Posted by: salo Location: here
So sad, I wish people stop all the pc and start calling it like it is. This crazy woman got her boobs cut off and now is pregnant again. THat's is all it is. No matter how hard she tries, not just because she says she is a man, it makes her a man. Specially not after having preserve by choice her reproductive organs and having giving birth. She has maternal instincts that is why she is pregnant and will always be a woman. The only victims of all this circus are those poor kids.. what a freak

Wow where were men having the kids when i had my 4?? that would have saved me a lot of stretch marks and c sections! Not to mention the weight gain!

Posted by: conrad Location: south bend
Where are they getting the Sperm from? Because they both are women or a woman trying to be a man. Thats my only question.

It really sickens me to live in a place that's so ready to judge others When that is specifically against the teachings of their own religion. I'm sure you and your families are all totally perfect.

This is just gross! He has women parts, it really is not a man giving birth. A true man can not have kids. He is just doing this for the money. Look at all the attention he/she gets from this.

Posted by: grossed out Location: osceola
gross. I guess anyone really can be what they want in America.

Joel, dude, I can't believe you'd write about this crap. It's a female having another baby -- breasts removed, still no penis, just male hormones -- big deal. Get over it. You're not jealous are you?

Posted by: Sara Location: South Bend
What is the phrase...if it quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck??!!!??? She (or "he" as preferred) has intact reproductive parts and uses them; hence, it's a woman who had her breasts removed and takes hormones...that's all to it!

Posted by: Rachel Kulakowski Its been taking me and my husband a yr to get pregnant. We FINALLY are. Messed up if you wanna be a man you shouldnt have kids; but sweet hes willing to do that for his wife; since obviously he didnt want to; since he took all that time and money to becoming a man he she it lol. But hey if my husband could have the kid instead of me id be all for it lol.

I'm attracted to this man. I would like to make child with him.

Posted by: Lois Location: Michigan
Absolutely not a man - just because he looks like one and wants to be one, doesn't make him one - he was born a woman with all the parts, that makes him a female - end of story -

woowwwww Pregnant again. My jaw did drop!!!Heor i should say she is still a woman and will always be until he/she gets his/her reproductive organs removed. She is a WOMAN. A really manly one at that!!!

Posted by: Anonymous Location: Indiana
Now if they could just figure out how to make regular guys have kids, men would really know what it was like to have to be pregnant for 9 months! And then they wouldn't be begging their wives to have "just one more" so they could have their baby boy to carry on their name. They could have it themselves. LOL Okay guys, I'm just kidding. Don't get bent out of shape. When it comes to the pregnant guy, I figure to each his own. If that is the way he/she wants to be and the wife, then that is up to them. It doesn't effect my life in the least.

I saw the book already at barnes and noble! IT is just out for the money!!

Posted by: Ike Location: South Bend
Sorry but HE is a SHE....

Posted by: christopher a rowe Location: biddeford.me. 04005
That man is really a woman!!! She had her BREASTS removed but still has overies, a vagina and has to TAKE hormones to become a man. Get Real and call her what SHE really is "A WOMAN". You still need MALE SPERM and FEMALE EGGS to get PREGNANT!! Do I really have to say much more?

Posted by: Nancy Location: Mishawaka
Sorry....but if he has a womb; he's still a woman. If he wants to be a man, then he should be a man with all the trappings of it. He needs to make up his mind for once and for all.....and not play both sides. The first move would be a remove the womb. I would think that would be his most 'freeing' moment....it is for many women in this nation who do not want children. If he completed all aspects of his 'change', I could see him and his wife adopting children much like millions of other Americans who cannot conceive.

Posted by: Darlene This is just ridiculous, obviously he is not really a man if he has kept reproductive organs. Why do you even report this nonsense? It simply gives them platform for more sensationalism! Stop talking about it, he will go away!

Posted by: bf Location: sb
Wow! this is crazy...I guess I have been living under a rock, first time to see this. So he obviously didn't change his female organs, only his breasts bothered him?? Strange relationship with his wife I would think????

Posted by: Sheri Location: Michigan
All of this is just for the "fame" it is giving "him". Don't be surprised when the book and movie come out! And what are the children going to think when they are older? Daddy is also mommy? How confusing will that be? I feel sorry for the children.

How can this guy say he is a man yet he is still able to have a baby. SOrry but he is still a woman in my book. And for the record, this guy does NOT sound nothing like Michael Jackson. YOu can stop that lie.

Posted by: T Location: Mishawaka
I think this is sick. If he wanted to be a man, why on earth would he want to carry a baby? In my opinion carrying a baby is one of the things that makes a woman a woman. I have no problem with this person changing his gender, but you cant have your cake and eat it too!
