The Preggers Man on Oprah

pregnantman.jpg

The much buzzed about 'pregnant man', Thomas Beatie will be a guest on Oprah's show Thursday.

Beatie's a transgender man that is expecting a child. Though he underwent surgery to switch genders, he kept his female reproductive organs and is nearly six months pregnant.

He tells Oprah that his current wife Nancy is unable to conceive and that's the only reason he's going through with the pregnancy. Beatie was able to conceive via artificial insemination.

Thomas tells Oprah in a show clip, "I'm a person and I have the right to have my own biological child."

He expects to deliver a girl around July 3rd.

      The whole thing is so stupid. A MAN IS NOT PREGNANT.
      It is and was a woman.
      I can call myself the Queen of England or a Martian or a Movie Star…but it doesn't make it so.
      I can't believe Oprah would have this circus freak show person on….oh wait. Yes I would. She is an idiot.
      I feel so sorry for the baby's future.

      THIS IS AWESOME! Good for him. It's amazing what can be done these days. He can be a proud male in todays society and give his wife the gift she could not give.

      To all the haters who are stuck in the 12th century.
      GET OVER IT! It isn't wrong, it may not look like the natural order of things, but it is still a natural birth. The baby will be raised by a loving mom and dad.

    66. kimberly says – reply to this


      66

      Two things….didnt he make a choice of being a 'man' in the first place, and now he was artificially inseminated? The doctor who did this should be shot…secondly, no one is considering the repercussions of the hormone therapy on this fetus…the fact that 'he, cough cough' is even wanting to give birth is wrong in so many ways….he shouldnt have it both ways…the doctor that inseminated him obviously doesnt have an ethical bone in his body. What happened to adoption, or suragocy? These butch should be whipped for what he is doing. It is selfish, and this poor child doesnt have a say so in nothing. You know, you have to go thru all kinds of tests to get a drivers license and drive a machine, but to parent a child you just have sperm and ovum…something is wrong here.

      WOW. I thought we lived in the 21st century!! That's awesome that they are able to do that and I wish them all the luck in the world.

      Seriously, what is up y'all butts? Just because it's somethign YOU wouldn't do doesn't mean you can't be supportive of the next guy.

      And as far as the child that he will be giving birth to, Let's hope that by the time she's old enough to understand what's going on ,this world will be a little more open minded about things.

      oh and yes i agree .It is NOT a man giving birth. He was born a woman therefore it's biologically the same as if i or any other woman were pregnant. But anyways..Good for them!!

      I may sound dumb but genetically he is a woman although the outside of his body looks like a man. This isn't that shocking…if he was a she at one point, and kept her reproductive organs of course he would be capable of carrying a child. Why is this so wierd?? am I missing something?

      I totally agree with #5. THIS IS NOT A PREGNANT MAN. This is a pregnant woman who has decided to appear and live as a man. Period.

      This makes me so proud to be a transgender ftm. I never would have dreamed for this to be so out in the open. Maybe it will shed some light on the subject since no one seems to understand the concept. I know I've had people get down on me and think I'm less than them. Thank you sir for doing this. And you Perez for posting this

      His rights? Who said that he had the right to bring a child into a media circus. It is obvious that he revels in the circus that he has created, but what about the child? Yeah, he has the right to do whatever he wants with "his" life. I question his responsible and rational nature as a parent.

      It isnt wrong, or crazy, or freaky! There are some idiots out there that need to look up the word transgendered! This person can have a baby if God lets them. There are all sorts of crazy bad parents out there in "traditional" homes.

      What is that poor child going to think when he/she grows up? How confusing will this make the child's world. "What should I be a boy or a girl. Daddy is really my mommy but is my daddy. My mommy is my mommy but daddy gave birth to me!!!" WTF!!!!!!!! These people are selfish!!! And I thought being teased in school for having a funny last name was hard!!

    93. RETARDS THAT DON'T GET IT says – reply to this


      93

      The man used to be a she, but she/he still has her vagina and uterus (she didn't get the full sex change), so she/he is having the baby for her "lesbian lover" who can't have a child. Understand?

    94. Snuffles says – reply to this


      94

      It's not a man! It's a girl - girls have vaginas. He has a vagina and a uterus, so it a SHE.

      Poor Kid. What a mess and how disgustingly embarrassing that would be.

      first of all, congrats to him and his wife. that is truly amazing that he would go through all of this to give his wife the one gift she wants, but can't have herself. and to all of the people who are asking where it will come out— you're dumb. does a c-section ring a bell? I think this is awesome and I hope the best for them!

      98

      If "she" wanted to be a "he" and had the change then why does "he" suddenly want to experience getting pregnant. Isn't the whole point in changing genders is because "she" didn't want to have anything to do with a woman's life? A man is not pregnant, a woman that merely had extra baggage added is.

    99. katy says – reply to this


      99

      what the fuck.
      That reminds me of Arnold!!

    100. WTF says – reply to this


      100

      By choosing to "switch" genders, "he" gave up the right to bear children. You cannot have your cake and eat it to. "I'm a person and I have the right to have my own biological child." is a ridiculous statement, pedophiles are people, but should they be allowed to have children (much less be around them)?

      I'm all for homosexual equality and have an open mind, but this has gone too far.
