The Preggers Man on Oprah
Filed under: TV News > Gay Gay Gay > Baby Blabber > Oprah Winfrey
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.

This world is coming to and end that is all I have to say about that. And we have GLAD to thank for that.
to me this is not right. then why do the sex change if u still going back to been a women. havent they heard of adoption. what do u think Perez?
Wow, all this has shown me is how narrow minded and prejudiced most of you ignorant assholes still are. Get over it.
The child is being born into a family that wants and loves it, and that's a helluva lot more than can be said for a lot of the children that are brought into the world. the idea that one of you suggested that child services should just take the child away is beyond offensive. Get off your high horse and start being a human being.
Im very afraid that God is going to wipe out the Earth and start all over again because NO one has any regard for children and their rights. Every child has a RIGHT not to have some FREAK ASS start to their life i mean COME ON!
OMG I was looking for her pic Earlier this morning..lol
Talk about a KID GROWING UP CUMFUSED! LOL
We Live in a free society and see what we get? LOL
I can't wait to be the 1st "REAL" man to have a Baby..lol
As usual narrow minded people and religious freak will never get this after all these are obviously two lesbians who wants to have a child . People are so judgemental but I never thought for one second that God will judge them for who they are because I thought they say God is loving and forgiving and always compassionate unlike human being ,if it's outside the "norm" they of course it's wrong , but when you hear " normal breeders " raping their own children or physically abusing, beating them up to death all these hypocrite ignorant people deny it and people move on . This world we live in is not only weird but human beings can be such hypocrites . I bet you their relationship will last longer than any
ignorant breeders out there and as for their new born , that baby will only not be special but will grow up with an open mind and full of love and understanding and will be compassionate unlike most people will ever be.
"whats your moms name?" kid, "stephen…." "whats your dads name" kid, "….stephen"
Holy crap, some of you need a lesson in respect. Why is this "nasty"? Why is this "wrong"? Only thing I agree about is this shouldn't be such a huge focus on the news….let them do what they want. Damn dude. Looks like Perez's readers are all under the age of 16.
craziness really, but props to him for doing this for his wife. i wish them all the best.
Re: NOW LISTEN UP ASSHOLES –
re: "I can decide to live a life of a dog and walk on all fours and shit with one leg raised in the air but bottom line is, I WILL ALWAYS BE A HUMAN."
I've never seen a dog shit with one leg up in the air.
this is so sick and wrong and really just disturbing.

#169 - kim says – reply to this
Thats fucking sick!!!! Shes going to HELL!!!!!!!! How dare her. Poor child. If you think your a man then be one!!!! FUCKING ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!
Fucking Hell,Kim.The kid is gonna be brought up in a loving,stable enviroment.That's all that matters,.He was'nt thinking of having kids,but hes doing it for his wife.Thats what real love is.I think its sweet-and wish them the best,Good luck guys.
The carnival has come to town! Does Springer know about this?
What is this world coming to?
so do you want to be a man or a women? make up your fucken mind or body that is. that is terrible for REAL transgender people who do feel trapped in the wrong body! mixed messages?
Re: where is the normal world. – it's funny that you asked because this world is full of ABNORMAL DOUCHE BAGS like yourself.
The point that everyone is missing here, is the fact that an innocent child is about to be brought into this world by a freak of a person. If the child is normal, due to all the pills this "it" has taken, this baby will endure a life time of relentless teasing and jokes, just because some freak decided to change their mind and decide to be a women when it's convienent, but oh honey I gave birth to you and call me daddy. SICK IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD AND THIS FREAK SHOULD BE LOCKED UP FOR JUST BEING STUPID.
That is a good question…where does the baby come out? I believe to each their own…but it sure looks weird…a man pregnant…I think every man should get pregnant…give us women a frickin break
All I have to say is: This child is going to be so mentally fucked up.
Poor little girl. I'm not saying she won't get all the love in the world at home but people are cruel and she's got a whole world of shit to deal with in her future. Nice… real fucking nice.
I don't get the uproar. It's a woman having a baby. Genetically a woman, has all the woman parts therefore female.
It's no bigger a deal than two lesbians or two gays adopting or getting a surrogate or using donor sperm.
it's such an amazing accomplishment for transgender people. He is lucky he gets to have a c-section rather than push the lil sucker out. But still it's kinda creepy. But i am happy for them
Re: WHY – I'm strongly beginning to believe that! I'm very concerned for my future as well as my childrens. Next thing you know, murder will be acceptable. Well, I guess that kind of already is.
YES, HE'S PREGNANT AND I JUST FELL OFF THE TURNUP TRUCK THIS MORNING.
GET A LIFE PEREZ, YOU'RE STORIES ARE CRAP.
.
KEEP PUTTING $$$$ IN THAT FAT PIGS POCKET EVERYONE.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM FALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: penelope pitstop – the baby will only suffer because of narrow minded and ignorant assholes like yourself , otherwise I'm sure that baby will have a better childhood compared to yours because obviously your useless parents failed to raise you well .
Re: myself –
Every generation thinks the "world is spiraling out of control", no matter what country, religion, whatever. More importantly, this is one happy couple that just happen to not fall under your dogma of how things should be. Look, if you're interest is defending "God's plan", there are more productive and more important things you can become a part of, rather than passing judgment on this one person who did not judge you.
I think once you've experienced more than one spectrum of reality, this small thing wont seem so strange. Life is what you make of it. One man's "twisted" is another man's "normal", and all that. It's okay, sweetheart, we'll all get by, we'll all be loved, shhhhhhhhh, rest your precious head.
i'm all for living your life how you want and whatever i dont care that he's a transgender, but this is a little too wierd!!!
Yeah it would be really cool but… ITS STILL A FUCKING CHICK. Was and always will be. all she did was mutilate her genitalia. It also proves she was never transgendered in the first place if she still wanted to have a baby. transgender people want nothing to do with their original gender. this woman is a fucking joke. this is not news…its women being fucking idiots.
Re: nani –
.
ARE YOU A FREAKING IDIOT?
DO YOU KNOW THE FACTS OF LIFE?
YOU ARE TODAY'S CLASS ACT MORON !
THE PRIZE GOES TO YOU!
A MAN IS NOT PREGNANT! THAT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE! AS LONG AS SHE HAS A VAGINA, UTERUS AND FALLOPIAN TUBES SHE IS A WOMAN! FEMALE! I'M TIRED OF THIS IGNORANT SHIT ABOUT A MAN BEING PREGNANT!
Hey Perez, you kept your uterus too, right? But please don't turkey baste in any kids yet please.
She is a WOMAN. As she has two X chromosomes…Headlines are so misleading here, but I've never met a man with ovaries…You can change the packaging, but not the package!
When I first looked at this picture I thought it was a little disturbing. But after reading about it, and finding that he is biologically a woman.. Well I no longer feel that way.
People can spread all the hate they want in here, preach about the end of the world, not part of Gods plan etc…
But I believe that the child will grow up to be an amazing person. Simply because she has 2 loving parents, who truly truly wanted her.
Millions of children grow up in the US and around the world without having parents who cares enough for them. So why on earth pass judgement on a couple who only wants to care for a child?
I will not do that.
my girlfriend just showed me this,and i seriously dont know what the big deal is!! its a woman having a baby,whats so wrong and weird and fucked up about that?
i could look like a woman if i really wanted to,the fact is he/she is having a baby it was a woman and now wants to be a man,but is really a woman,perez your a cock,get a life!
LEAVE IT TO PEREZ AND OPRAH, TWO PIGS IN A POD.
NOTHING ELSE TO DO THIS WEEK?
W T F !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GROSS
Re: jilly – Then don't scroll down the pic!! What an iditot!!!
He's not a man. SHE is a mentally ill woman who took drugs, cut her hair and had her breasts removed.
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ummm o.k im guessing the child will not be breast-fed and thats a controversy in itself
The world is coming to an end
Hey Perez, if you're so LGBT friendly, why do you constantly refer to people as trannies? Why don't you take a stand again transphobia, too? Check out all of these comments. They are so ignorant. Millions of teenagers read this blog a day, why don't you help educate them?
It's a frickin woman not a man! Everyone needs to stop calling her a man!
It still has female organs therefore she should be called a man. You can take all the hormones in the world but if you have femaleorgans your a freaken female. The kid will probably not come out healthy because of all the damn hormones this dumb twit was using. And yeah we are in the 21st century but that doesn't change the fact that she is a female that looks like a male. She has had her breast removed, so do people with breast cancer, that does not make her a freakin male!
That kinda warps my mind. Hard to wrap your head arround.
Good for them!
it shows such courage to be true to who you are and go through a sex change.
and even more courage for following his HUMAN instinct for wanting a child, not a "female" instinct, and going through with it despite what ignorant people who are judging him will say.
at the end of the day, your ignorant hate words will not matter to him, her, ze or whomever he is at a given point in time. he is the one who has been able to conquer how backwards our society is when it comes to accepting others for whatever they maybe be/do/want, etc. and will soon be blessed with a gorgeous child and a loving family.
what more can one want in life than the love and support of those around you.
i feel sorry for you if you have so little unconditional love in your life that you need to belittle others to make yourselves feel better.
mira este hombre era mujer y se opero. ahora esta embarazado de 6 meses. hahaheheh
This is so wrong, they should have done this before he operation. So creepy ans scary. This could be damaging to the baby when they grow up.
Re: kimberly –
What's wrong here is how seltered and ignorant you sound. I'd high five him in in a second if I saw him on the street. I'm tired of you stupid conservative pricks trying to tell everyone how to live. Go fuck yourself!
This is so awesome. I've been praying for the day where men will have to have little alien creatures ripped from their bodies so I don't have to do that shit!
I'm sorry but this person isn't really a guy. This person was born as a girl and had and sex changing surgeries to look like a guy…. If you weren't born a guy you aren't really guy no matter how many sex operations you have or how much you look like a guy.
Re: C. –
I agree. Thank you, you're like a light in a dark tunnel. Unfortunately, these are the types of people that like to prevent different ideas from being taught. They seem to think they have a right to say all the things they're saying too. It makes me ashamed that this kind of thought still exists. I hope the couple featured in this article never ever read the comments. I wish them peace and happyness.
Selfish freak.
I dont understand the big deal. SO, he cut off his boobs. But he still has the uterus that he was born with. Its not like he was BORN a man and is having a baby with a fake uterus or something….
he is not a real man! he was born a women…just cause u have tried to be a man for many yrs dosent make you one. its not a real man having a baby it is a women! come on noW!! she should not be getting this much attention its a regular women giving birth to a child.
SICK!!!!!
Re: jilly – # 153…then don't scroll down the pic!! What an idiot!!
THE END OF THE WORLD?
.. If, and for me its a big IF.. God created everything and is allknowing.. Well than God must have known this was coming. In fact God must have ment it to be this way!
So all ye religious folks.. Ever think maybe, just maybe God is playing a trick on you? If one was to sum up Jesus in one word it would be "LOVE" I mean seriously, Jesus must have been the most tolerant person ever born..and this was over 2000 years ago! I find it quite amusing that all his followers are the first ones to judge others.
Maybe Gods plan is Love. And we are tested dalily, all of us around the world. And you who speak of God and point fingers at the same time, are loosing the race at this point.
Stop questioning Gods plan.. Sit back and watch it in action..
Dat's some Bull Shit. How ever u twist it and turn it She is still a fucking women reguardless to wat surgery She had. That is to tell you she never really wanted to be a man in the first place, cause she keep her female organs.
this is weird…i mean…
It's not wrong…because "he" was a woman in the first place and women were created to have children basically. But "he" doesnt want to be a woman.
But his wife cant have children. But woudnt that make his wife a lesbo because he use to be a woman too? But he's having a baby and wants to be a man? OMFG IM CONFUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!
poor lil baby girl…i hope she doesnt get picked on…
are people really that stupid???? he was a women!! people!! and she didn,t have her overies taken out!!! to me its not that a big deal for him/her to be on the show. i feel bad the the baby.
ALL OF YOU SCREAMING FOR GAY RIGHTS CAN NOW SUCK ON THIS. I TOLD YOU THESE FREAKS ARE A PERVERSION OF NATURE!! NOW DO YOU GET IT! THEY SIMPLY CANNOT LIVE IN A NORMAL WORLD AND BE RESPECTABLE HUMAN BEINGS, NO NOT THE GAYS! THEY WILL DESTROY HUMAN CIVILIZATION AND TEAR THIS WORLD APART!! I WARNED YOU!
First of all, to all of you who think this is natural give your head a shake. He obviously took the operation to become a man and men CANNOT become pregnant therefore they should've removed his reproductive organs so a mistake like this cannot happen. This beautiful little girl is going to have a lot said to her growing up and none of it is going to make sense, let alone when she is older and finally understands what her parents did she will probably be mad. I know I would be.
I just hope that they shelter her from anything anyone might say to her and that his family steps in and takes her for a normal upbringing.
He is a Chinese freak in the circus. Send him back to China pronto!
So this is actually a woman having a baby. If she wants to live as a man that is her business. Most of us may not choose to live this lifestyle but her baby can not be taken away because of it.
That's so fucking gross and wrong on so many levels. I'm all for LGBT rights but this is horrible. If you choose to become a MAN then you should not be giving birth to children. It's a biological fact that REAL man cannot give birth to children, this is so unnatural and disgusting. That poor child.
That is SICK!!! If this person didn't want to be a woman anymore than why get pregnant. Other than the money and 15 seconds of fame….
wow crazy. but good for him.
Thats fucking sick. Oprah is a fucking idiot for putting that horrible episode on TV.
Gross.
I'm sorry but this person isn't really a guy. This person was born as a girl and had sex changing operations to look like a guy…. If you weren't born a guy you aren't really guy no matter how many sex operations you have had or how much you look like a guy. I think it's great that this couple wants to have a child, and that they are a loving couple aswell. I see nothing wrong with their relationship. But I do wonder how people are going to look and judge this innocent child that do not ask to be born. And did this couple think what the child may think or feel later on in life after finding out who carried it? I pray for this child to live a happy and peaceful life.
Re: sharbear – Shar bear your fucked.
PEREZ ONLY SEEMS TO HAVE HEART for PUPPIES!!!
How can he.. Correction! HOW CAN YOU! Perez allow hurtful remarks like this on your website. WHY? do you allow people to talk shit about this?? You have no heart and you have no love. All you know is Gossip, White photo draw-ons, and Teddy.
Who cares if you have a plan to run shirtless on the beach. Transgender people have plans and lives and it's this kind of talk that puts more strain on their lives.
TAKE HIM OUT BEHIND THE BARN AND PUT HIM DOWN
So, the real question is….does he/she have a weiner?

It's bizarre nonsense like this that make our Lord cry. What an abomination!
That is one hell of a step to be taking. Can't say I didn't smile when I first read about this though. It's obviously also an interesting development for other transsexuals and homosexuals. It reminds me of that film "Junior" with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I wonder when it will be possible for men, biologically born so, to carry and bare children. I know I'd have a lot of respect for any man who would volunteer to take on that burden for his girlfriend, wife or even between male partners.
Bizarre.
Good for them though.
wtf the world is getting tooo crazyyyy
I am still not sure if this is true, but this is a terrible thing. Men are not supposed to give birth. Or they would have been naturally doing it since the beginning of time. Pregnancy is for Women!!!! If this womand wanted to be a man and has all the necessary "man" parts she should have given up her right to bare children. You can't have your cake and eat it too. That is not the way it is supposed to work. This is so terrible!!
Re: Carolyn –
It is NOT NATURAL. Sex changes are not natural otherwise you wouldn't need a surgeon to do it
THAT'S A WOMAAAAANNNNNN! NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO, THEY ARE STILL THEIR BORN GENDER. YOU CAN CUT IT OFF OR GLUE IT ON, DOESN'T CHANGE A DAMN THING! CHRIST YOU PEOPLE ARE STUPID!
He is still genetically a female. I cry foul. This is so stupid. Who gives a flying fuck.
Whata crock of shit this is. You can't have it both ways-you either what to be a MAN or WOMAN not both-Freak of nature. Start saving for the shrink fees for this kid. Maybe Oprah will pay for it! Circus freak.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats is the most amazing thing ever…I think it awesome!
This baby will suffer and it's because of YOU assholes! Pull your head out of your ass and get with the program! People are free to do whatever they wish!
This is not right. What are we going to tell the children of today. I am open minded and not a gay or transgender basher, but if you chose not to be a women then why are you now giving birth? Hello my mommy is my daddy? When people shut their bedroom door then what happens there should stay there. Stop throwing your life styles in the faces of other peoples children! This is a Jerry Springer topic. Shame on OPRAH
Re: kgb –
whats wrong with you?
shame on you. you dont even know the person!
Seriously, I am extremely disappointed in our society for being ignorant and close-minded. This man (as that is what this person, with emotions and feelings of their own, wishes to be recognized as) is having a child for his marriage. Don't you think that is exceptionally beautiful, because I do. Obviously if he has had his genitals reconstructed the baby will be delivered via c-section. I am sure that him as well as his wife thought this through and they will probably live their lives as if their daughter was birthed by his wife.
I cannot believe some of the people on here. You don't have to agree but don't sit here and say that these people deserve to be shot or likewise. Grow up. Really.
Damn!! Is this a late Aprils fools gag. That's never for real. Is It?!!!!
This is my future.
I am Kez, a totally gay woman.
I chose the name Kez because it is close to LEZ.
Re: twinklinstarr99 –
Obviously because the article says his wife is unable to get pregnant. Use your brains for once in your life.
Good for him??? Are you people serious?? IS NO ONE THINKING ABOUT THE BABY FOR GODS SAKE??!!! What is this world coming to? This man needs to be locked up for this nasty shit. He'll probably try to have sex with his "daughter" once she's born. Fuckin freaks.
This "man" is internally a FEMALE, therefore "he" is NOT a male being, but a male wanna be. It's stupid for "him" to claim to be a pregnant male. Instead of becoming a male under the belt he should seriously consider a brain transplant.
I agree with what this person wrote…..

He used a sperm donor to get pregnant using a home insemination kit.
I am so happy about this! After having "Middlesex" on her book club, she's really putting the transgendered community out there. Not being transgendered myself, it has definitely broadened my view and I am glad that this man is able to use what God gave him to create a family as everyone should be able to if they so choose.
Don't hate. Accept.
