Pregnant Man Thomas Beatie To Pen A Memoir

May 22, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA)-- ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT can confirm that Thomas Beatie will write a book about his experience as a "pregnant man."

St. Martin's Press has purchased North American rights to LOVE MAKES A FAMILY: A Memoir of Hardship, Healing and an Extraordinary Pregnancy by Thomas Beatie, the world's first pregnant man. Publication is set for September 30, 2008.

LOVE MAKES A FAMILY follows Thomas Beatie through his transformation from a girl scout and beauty queen to a fully legal and recognized man with a black belt in marital arts and a loving wife named Nancy, herself a former champion bodybuilder. It will follow Thomas and Nancy through their controversial decision to have a baby and yet not hire a surrogate to carry the child; to, instead, have Thomas--who underwent gender reassignment surgery but kept his female reproductive organs--get pregnant and carry the child himself.

What has been told so far is a small part of Thomas' story. In LOVE MAKES A FAMILY, the poignant true story of how Thomas Beatie survived a lifetime of pain, prejudice and family disillusionment to arrive at this one astonishing moment in time--the moment when he will create a brave new family for himself and, in a way, for the world.

For more, watch Entertainment Tonight on Thursday May 22nd.

I could call a chair a 'walrus' and throw it in the ocean but it won't swim and it won't catch fish. Do you know why? beacuse it's still a chair, no matter what you call it. Changing the name of something doesn't change what it really is. That goes for people too.

She's not a man. The pictures are gross. I won't read this book.

This is the STUPIDEST story I've ever heard!

Its a female posing as a man. Cross dressing. But yet, she will sell millions of books to many stupid people.

If the Huffpost can't figure out the difference between a man and a woman then how can they be expected to get the politics right.

Crazy to call ( IT) a Pregnant Man

It appears that HuffPo is gender-confused as well.

I have to agree, this is NOT a pregnant man, it's a pregnant WOMAN who just hasn't finished with his reassignment surgery.

I wish him well but I am worried what all those hormonal changes with the various drugs will do to the baby. That really is a risky bit to pull just to get some publicity.

But it is NOT a pregnant man, just a transgendered female to male that isn't completely done yet.

It is intellectually dishonest for HuffPo to continue with the ridiculous "pregnant man" titles. It is, and always was a woman. A hairy woman, but a woman.
