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."

fucking gross!!!! sometimes i hate being american. this is embarassing
omg second
1st
Yay Letterman… boo for being mean.
FIRST!!
agreed.
OMG FIRST
what if maternal feelings come through and he starts identifying more female again?> what if the male hormones screw up the developing babies (female) sexual organs? don't mess with mother nature.
What a jerk. If two people love each other, it shouldnt matter their gender. Be a little sensitive, or at least tolerant, geez.
omg what a dick
And you called Dawn from Danity Kane a tranny, Perez. YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE.
I feel I'm open minded, but your setting up this kid to be persecuted. Why did he have to go on Oprah and announce to the world. Go have your kid quietly.
thats not very nice
first!
whatever!!! this "thing" is a freak show!!! and for the media to say a "MAN" is pregnant is laughable…. it's a chick who cut her tits off, posing as a man who still has a vagina! can you say DYSFUNCTIONAL!!! it's pathetic that no one can state the FACTS because someone might think it's not p.a. get over your fucking self and grow the hell up! face reality…freaks!
SO FREAKING WEIRD
first!!!!!!
fucked up
He should just go suck a dick. Dat was not very nice calling him a freak. David Letterman a douche bag.
well well well.
I'm sorry, but . . . YUCK! It is pretty much a freak show, especially due to all the publicity circus surrounding it.
I think you're great, but are you really telling people they need to be sensitive?
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.
LETTERMAN IS A FREAKSHOW HIS SELF !!!! Is like let's call Letterman to get together with Britney Spear about children in this world, yeah right!!!
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
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.
FIRST

SHE IS A FREAK! AND ITS NOT A MAN, ITS A WOMAN!!!!

Not cool, Letterman. Not cool.
fuck that old cunt!!!!!!!!!
YOU MADE IT TO #1!!!
He's correct.
This MAN is still a woman for now. This birth is just as normal as the next.
well, it's true
Um, he's right, thats not homophobia, stop being so sensitive
Pretty insensitive….I thought late night might stay away from this. Oh dear.
Well… an "androgynous freak show" sounds about right to me. This is strange!
COME ON PEOPLE, I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE MESSING WITH GOD'S PLAN, WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!! OH, ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLE MY ASS, ANYONE HAS ACCESS TO A BIBLE, LOOK IT UP. ONLY RULE BOOK TO GO BY.
this is stupid
oh, letterman should know better….I still love letterman though.
oh please you hateful queen, you can't have it both ways. be sensitive. right.
COME ON PEOPLE, I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH PEOPLE ARE MESSING WITH GOD'S PLAN, WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!! OH, ALTERNATIVE LIFESTYLE MY ASS, ANYONE HAS ACCESS TO A BIBLE, LOOK IT UP. ONLY RULE BOOK TO GO BY.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's calling it what it is. I don't see why everyone is calling this a man - I mean last I learned in 10th grade biology the chromosomes don't lie.
sick!
*boke*
Everybody needs to mind their own business, I'm happy for him.
10th?
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.
He's RIGHT!!!
Re: Its Mercedes Bitches – damnit whatever who cares
The he/she is a fuckin' freakshow and it's sickening. I feel sorry for the future child. That kid will be so fuckin' confused and made fun of growing up. Lots of therapy may help.

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.

,first
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).
Why would anyone judge. I mean thats their life as long as theyre happy what the hell let them be. Nough said.
well letterman is kinda right…
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.
I think it is wonderful and people should stop being assholes
Oh crap! Lighten up! Letterman is a comedian, he makes jokes & fun of people. I think everyone should LIGHTEN UP, & stop being so sensitive & pc!
I AGREE…FUCKING FREAK AND CIRCUS SHOW
Re: kelly – The wife isn't even anything but a step mom for this child….biologicly. You are so right!!! This child could really be the one to pay for this freaky shit! I know it has me a little freaked.
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.
be sensitive from the a s s h o l e of the internet? ROFL y o u r a joke
w w w . s p 1 2 0 0 . n e t
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.
It's just another hairy ass woman. there are lots of them. they are called Italians!!!!!!!!!!!
Well yeah, it's David Letterman, he's well know for being an insensitive douchebag. It's not exactly news.
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???
well… He is androgynous, and he is kinda freaky.
poor kid. If it lives it will be in therapy the rest of it's life, starting at 12!
wow hello its a girl that wanted to be a man gosh u people dont learn these dayz wowzerz
This is really messing up with mother nature, not so good.
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!
I think Perez has some responsibility in the violence and hate towards this man. First off, he is man, naturally maybe not but as of now, he is a man. A man being pregnant? There is absolutely nothing wrong with that and as for his kid being ridiculed, if you people would stop being so mean there wouldn't have to be a care in the world for that.
oh fuck off with the bible shit, most of the bible was made up by a bunch of assholes too, we probably do not even see the real bible, its probably holed up somewhere in the vatican and they rewrote one to fit in with what they think they world should be like.
Don't bring fucking religion into this
And letterman is a dickhead
Im very very opened minded but this is a fucking NO……….Lets TOTALLY screw our young kids minds up…..I generally let my 7 year old read/see whats on here and then we discuss…..But AINT NO WAY IN HELL this will happen with this "opportunity
Re: nan – I agree!! I commented on that yesterday.
I agree with letterman
Sensitive my ass. This shit is gross. I agree with #1. I'm embaressed to be American.
I love Dave. That is DISGUSTING!!!
hey soooooz… he hasn't taken hormones in 2 years. pay attention before you open your big mouth!
why are there so many bible thumpers on perez? seriously…i keep seeing them commenting on gay related posts making ignorant remarks. wtf are you doing on such a liberal pro-gay site!?!? even the background is gay!!
WTF- I usually like David Letterman but that's just
stupidity,- too bad.
Unfortuantely this "man" has now taken away the one thing that women have to call their own - motherhood and pregnancy. So sad. I do agree with everyone when they say that it really isn't a man having a baby - it's a woman who resembles a man. And there is NO WAY he isn't feeling more feminine being with child - female hormones are raging through his body again - so he's full of crap saying he still feels manly. he hasn't been taking testosterone for 2 years so he's all woman again who hasn't shaved in over a year because his hair won't grow back if he does because he's not on the testosterone anymore.
wtf???? this person is confused!! needs to choose one or the other. not against them wantn 2 hav kids but this is not the way 2 do it. this is what letterman is paid to do!! he probably doesnt even write that shit…hes a puppet
It's o.k. Maybe someday we'll all be non-gender chicken blobs. A hole in a wall A hole in a dog A hole in a boy A hole in a girl. Once you make the preference you ought to stick with it.
Re: sooooz –
So.
Did you even WATCH the Oprah special?
He said that he's stopped taking testosterone.
No one is stupid enough to do that to their unborn child.
PEREZ YOU HAVE THE FUCKING NERVE TO TALK ABOUT BEING SENSITIVE. YOU DO NOTHING BUT BASH PEOPLE ALL DAY YOU FUCKIN LARD ASS. NOW THAT SOMEONE BASHES A GAY OR WHATEVER IT IS (ITS A FREE COUNTRY DO WHAT YOU WANT) YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT BEING SENSITIVE. SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKIN HYPOCRITE. YOU SOLD YOUR SOUL FOR MEDIA YOU UGLY FUCK.
What's wrong with Letterman's comment???? Take a look at the pic of this freak!!!
You're only supportive because you're looking for crowd cover, you stupid Butt Pirate!!!
let's be sensitive, y'all…??? You're a bad joke, Perez, no matter what your suck-ups tell you.
What a fucking freak! Can u imagine what the baby will go through when it grows up? If the lesbo decided to have a sex change "she" should also lose the right to conceive! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW fucking GROSSSSSS! POOR child!!!
Why the heck is everyone so negative towards him? Cuz he's a transgendered person he's not allowed to have children?? It's his body he can do what he wants! Why is it any of your fucking business? Because the child will be screwed up? Please, there are alot more bible thumping parents that screw up children with religion. What do you people really think he's going to do, force his child to become transgendered? puh-leez!
that is fucking disgusting and fucking cruel to the future child. Hideous freak…
Re: CALL IT WHAT IT IS –
You shouldn't be saying ass, then, you fucking hypocrite.
