Pregnant Man On Oprah: I Have Intercourse With My Wife

Why is pleasure frowned upon,
while we fight wars on everything?
We're still in the spiritual dark ages

I am in no position to judge anyone. As long as they love the kid, teach him/her about being a good, kind and compassionate person, it's no skin off my back...

Can someone with a better grasp of statistics graph the correlation between a poster's disgust and the post's spelling and grammar errors? I'm not suggesting a causal correlation, but perhaps there is a common cause...

They seem like nice enough people. I wish them and their little one the best.

I'm glad for them. But I don't understand why a ftm transgendered person is being recognized as a man. I mean, socially it's polite to say their whatever gender they want, but a clitoris is a clitoris and a penis is a penis.

They are a gay couple, and she is one of the first transgendered ftm person to carry her baby. That's the important thing.

I'm saddened but not surprised at the lack of vision from the majority of these blogs. Sexuality and identity have and will always be up for grabs.. depending on an individuals creativity and imagination. Diverse expression and societies ability to accept and hopefully embrace differences should be of paramount importance. It's that slippery slope of narrowly defining human experience that leads to cultural fascism.

Most ugly thing I have ever read, and a sin.

Hey, good for them! Congratulations! Hope all goes well with the pregnancy and may they have a healthy, happy baby girl. They obviously badly want this child. They seem like nice folks. I wish them all the very best!

"Dude looks like a lady"

Thomas as Tracy looked a lot hotter than Thomas as Thomas.

1st she says, I don"t feel like a woman, I want 2 b a man then says "I"m a man, I feel like man, I don"t associate at all with being a woman but I'll keep my uterus just in case", NOW she says having a baby is not a male or female feeling. Its TOTALLY a female feeling & U desire it BECAUSE YOURE A FEMALE. How dare U try 2 speak 4 men, U are not a man just because U have a huge clitoris. I could sew wings on and cut off my legs but I wouldn"t be a bird I"d be a freaky legless chick who sewed wings on her back & U ma"am are a woman with a huge clitoris and a beard - your partner is still a lesbian & U are delusional if U think this fiasco is normal. & now U get on TV & hawk this psychotic life as though it was born of love and not selfishness lust & greed. America has lost its friggin mind. As soon as U allow people to CHOOSE what sex they want 2 B instead of dealing w/ who they really are, U allow confused unstable people like this 2 take it to a level like this & open the door for the next freak who wants to kick it up a notch and have a baby w/ a dog. I pray 2 God that child can somehow find normalcy & sanity N that

This 'pregnant man' ~ Thomas Beatie ~ is certainly outside the range of what's considered normal male/female in our society ... but that doesn't mean he's a freak or scary (as some say). He could end up being one of the most loving, caring, nurturing father (or mother) figures around. I think, we ought to leave this couple alone, and let them be the family they so desire ... & have a right to be.

So it's her/his solemn duty to educate the masses about pregnancy and the trans gendered. I don't find it so wondrous that someone with a uterus got pregnant. Oprah needs to stop stoking her/his ego. Being pregnant with a mustache doesn't make you some miraculous all knowing being whose story demands to be disseminated for days and days. Enough already.

I don't see what all the hoopla is about. I don't understand why so many people feel so threatened by what this woman has chosen to do to her own body. It's not like she did it to them.

I thought the show was excellent. I loved what Oprah said at the end that 50 years from now our society will be evolved enough to not judge people for being different, and the audience applauded when she praised them for their courage. Oprah of all people should know. Back in the 1980s when Oprah and Donahue were the only people putting gays on TV, everyone was freaked out and disgusted but after 22 years of Oprah and copy-cat shows like Ricki Lake, Jerry Springer & Jenny Jones, being gay is totally cool to the younger generation.

I watched this trainwreck and wondered why this he/she would go along with being pg? Why go on national tv and tell this story?? I just don't get this whole story?? You state that you did n't feel you where born in the wrong body, you state that being pg isn't about being a woman?? Hello, in my book it's all about being a woman. You say it's just a process. Well you needed the reproduction organs of a woman to make this possible. Why go public??? So if you aren't a man or a woman, what are you???

There are three components that constitute one's sexual make-up. The sex of your brain - what sex you identify as, the sex of your body, and the gender(s) that you are attracted to. These three components exist in every combination. Thomas has a male brain in a female body and he is attracted to women - one woman in particular. It's very brave of this couple to tell their story. I hope they have a very healthy little girl and a very happy family.

Man, the vitriol aimed at this person is what's really disgusting. Who the fuck are you people to judge HIM? Yeah, to us "normal" people it's weird, but who are we to say what's normal.

This person's happy now, and they weren't before. They're not hurting you, and if the story grosses you out, change the fucking channel. As long as he isn't undergoing hormone therapy, or anything else that would jeopardize the health of his child, then good for him if he can still get pregnant.

And good for him for having the balls(poor choice of words, i know) to go public with his story. I think it's a good thing any time the issue of gender as a social construct is raised in the MSM, even Oprah.

Damn! I've been trying to grow a better beard for 30 years and can't get it to come in as thick as his -- and that's not saying much.

This is such a weird, creepy story. This is a person who wanted to be a man but also still have children so he/she kept the reproductive parts? Who is counselling this person?
Too bad that batboy tabloid folded this type of story was their thing.

This whole story is bizarre.
First of all she"s a she. You take testosterone to get a beard and muscles, and hairy legs, and then get knocked up because you still have all the woman plumbing.
Then you let People magazine give you some money, and it hits you that this could be the deal of the decade.
I swear the old women Frankenstein is hooked up with thought the same thing even before the People magazine deal, and figured "what"ve I got to lose, maybe we can laugh all the way to the bank."
And what"s up with Oprah? Is she that starved for material? The people clapping in the audience were right in sync with the applaud prompt.
Mindless much?
Holy Moly, think of the poor kid as it goes through life, it"s poor mind will be blown. I feel really bad for the child.
This whole thing makes a John Waters movie look like a boring documentary. Whoever said the truth is stranger than fiction should"ve been around to see this charade.
Yikes!

It's a woman, not a man and I wish the media had enough sense to stop pushing this BS story.

My family recently had some houseguests from Australia. My wife has been friends with them for years and it's nice to see them when they visit America. One of them talk me that Australians think Americans are all idiots because the biggest view they have of our country and people is Jerry Springer. This story is almost as bad.
