LETTERMAN CALLS PREGNANT TRANS MAN AN 'ANDROGYNOUS FREAK SHOW'

David Letterman's show last night not only featured Walnuts' high-larious comedy routine, but also a Top 10 list in which Thomas Beatie, the transgender man who is now 23 weeks pregnant, was labeled an "androgynous freak show."

Letterman attempts to explain Beatie's situation using a cutting motion: "He had the thing."

    What a jerk. If two people love each other, it shouldnt matter their gender. Be a little sensitive, or at least tolerant, geez.

    NEWSFLASH PEREZ! he/she IS a freakshow! but they are still a woman, so it's not like a real man is having a baby. it's basically just a hairy masculine woman having a baby.

    this "dude" is a chick! XY is male, XX is female. just coz he changed his outward appearance to that of a male does not make him a man.

    insensitve comments lead to more intolerance and hurt… acceptance in a situation like this may can be hard for some, in which do what your mom always told you: if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all…

    I agree with letterman. This guy is a freak show

  27. kelly says – reply to this

    Also, what if he starts LACTATING??! Did he get all his breast tissue removed?? What will they tell their little baby? This is not as common (not feeling like you are the right sex) as some would have you believe! and when she decided not to be a woman anymore, presumably it was to not birth any babies. UGH this gives me a headache. i pray it all goes well, honestly i do.

    I'm not sure what it is but, whatevs it is highly disturbing. Don't FUCK with Mother Nature!!!!

    This is why people who want to be different and express themselves outside the norm get beat up and/or harrassed. These freaks come from abusive homes always in some form or another.

    I don't get it….this person was born a woman but became a man and is now preggers? But was he having sex with men? Was he artificially inseminated? I just don't understand how this occurred and I just want to educate myself I guess.

    People should have more tolerance.. What the fuck people? Let people do what they want…not what YOU want them to do. It's their lives.. there will never be peace with people like David Letterman on Tv.. that guy need to RETIRE..old shit.

    Well I try to be open-minded and all but I do think we need to draw the line somewhere. Freedom (even though it is more of an abstract noun than actual state of things) of choice and stuff is just great but for crying out loud people let's just stop at one point. At the rate we're going we are most certain to prove Isaac Newton right (remember? … dude said end of the world will happen in 2060). If you can't have a kid adopt one. Give a family to someone who's already in this world. There's more than enough babies out there (along with a large number of people (staright, gay, trans whatever) who shouldn't be allowed to have kids at all).

    God help this child. No child should have a freak for a parent and that is exactly what this person is. Enough with this sensitivity crap. This jerk knew exactly what he/she was doing and now a child is going to pay the price. Disgraceful.
    And, BTW, Perez, sensitivity is not exactly your forte. I don't see any sensitivity toward people who disagree with your politics.

    he has no breast tissue so NO he cannot breast feed. I think people are making way too big of a deal out of this. I think he was brave for going through this so that he and his wife could have a child. Yea, it's not the norm but that doesn't make him a freak. That's just how he chose to live his life and bring another life into the crazy world we already live in.

    Ok, I will let ya all know as a reproductive biologist the hormones this transgendered man is taking (though he still has his uterus etc.) will definitely affect the overall health of the baby. Parents should start being more concerned about the health of the child rather than their personal choice to have a child.

    Wow! I don't think Letterman was in the right but Beadie is definitely not in the right by keeping the child!! How on earth do you explain to a 3 year old how his apparent "daddy" gave birth to him/her???

    I think you should all be ashamed of yourselves for passing such judgement. If they can raise a child in a safe happy healthy environment then so be it. Should it really matter that the husband is the one carrying the child? I don't think it should. You should focus your anger towards the fact that there isn't enough being done in the world to stop poverty, famine, or disease to name a few. Maybe you should direct your anger towards the parents who don't care for their children, the parents who abuse and neglect their children. There are people in the world who WANT to have happy healthy children. Promote protection and birth control to those who aren't ready to become parents and leave the people who are alone, regardless of how or whom is carrying the child!
