A man in the United States is pregnant. Thomas Beatie, a transgender male is due to give birth on July 3, 2008. He and his partner Nancy wanted children but Nancy couldn't carry a baby.
Mr. Beatie has had chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy but hasn't have changes made to the reproductive organs he was born with. He and wife Nancy live in Bend, Oregon. The couple have been together for ten years.

After Nancy Beatie was unable to conceive Thomas stopped the hormone injections he was on. His periods resumed and he was able to conceive twice. The first pregnancy though was ectopic and required surgery. The second pregnancy though is going well.

Mr. Beatie has experienced some discrimination by health care workers.

Mr Beatie said: "How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible. Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am.

"To Nancy, I am her husband carrying our child. I will be my daughter's father, and Nancy will be her mother. We will be a family."

    ICK.....I cannot find words to condone the unnatural.

    Lets just hope the child's health is not compromised.

    I read this the other day...when they said it was the first man ever to be pregnant, I "KNEW" there was a catch-22. I was right! I don't see how this can qualify as the "first" man being pregnant, though. Biologically...internally...he's still a woman.

    Sperm from a farm. Both partners have the big V parts. Girl One is wife, girl two is named Tom. He's the she with the bambino on board until bambino scoots out then she rebecomes he and is called Daddy. I think that's right. LOL

    Tracy LaGondino can have her breasts removed, cut her hair short as she pleases and rename herself to Thomas all she desires. As long as she retains a vagina and female reproductive organs (not rights) she is still a female.

    She is scheduled to appear on Oprah and in People, but she is still a woman, I don't care what any of them ooh and awe over her.

    Just because some judge said she is a man doesn't make it so. If I had some judge declare me a dog, will I be allowed to indiscriminately hump any one's leg I choose?

    Looks like he gave birth to a baby girl on June 29, as reported here. He said the only different thing about him is he can't breastfeed his baby.

    You don't, it's more like explaining the amoeba and the arthropods.

    Thank you, Lew. That's what I think as well. Hey...you wanna be a dog and hump someone's leg...I don't think you need to have a judge's okay! LOL! But then again, the person who owns that leg might not be too happy! :)
