Pregnant Man

Thomas Beatie, the famous, transgendered 'pregnant man', is back in the news. After first announcing that he was, well, pregnant, he then caused quite a stir by going on Oprah and giving details about the impending birth, as well as informing everyone that he has intercourse with his wife.

Now, with only four weeks until he's due to give birth, he has given an interview to the British paper News of the World, in which he discusses his excitement about seeing his baby's face for the first time, reveals his previous life as a Hawaiian beauty queen, and more:

"I feel fantastic," he said. "I cannot wait to see my baby's face."


In a tender and intimate moment, Thomas shares a cuddle with wife Nancy--before telling the News of the World of his secret hopes for the future.

With four weeks to go, he sensationally reveals the couple are ready to have MORE BABIES after the birth of their daughter...

...We have her nursery ready and her diapers are lined up in her bedroom. Everything is ready to go.

"We have even picked a name which we both love--although we're waiting until she is born before we tell anyone. All the people who really know us and love us, our friends and family, have been incredibly supportive...

Thomas unveils photos showing he used to be a teen beauty queen in Hawaii:

And as well as posing for these amazing world exclusive pictures, Thomas opens up his family album to show unseen snaps of his life as a teenage beauty queen.

He was overjoyed when he saw the first pictures of his baby:

"And when Nancy and I saw the first scans it was just such an incredible emotional experience we did not care what some people were saying about us.


"To be able to see her face, her lips, her body made all the abuse we have endured worthwhile.

"Clearly you need some education on tran-gender issues. He is a man, he is legally married to a woman and they are going to have a child because his wife was unable to get pregnant."

So does that make this guy an actual tiger because he got himself some surgery?

Unless this fella had a Y chromosome surgically inserted into her DNA, she's still a woman.

LOL, I was thinking of this EXACT SAME GUY. I have no problem with sex changes, don't really care either way, but your genes are still your genes. If you're born one sex and change to another GENDER, you are still the same sex. If you are born a hermaphrodite you can choose through medicinal intervention to take on the characteristics of one gender or another, but genetically you are still a hermaphrodite despite what gender you decide to assume (unless of course you just wish to remain a hermaphrodtie and not choose a specific gender). Gender is subjected, but sex (or in cases of hermaphroditism, the LACK of sex) is predetermined and there's NOTHING you can do about it.

That guy isn't a genetic tiger and this woman isn't a genetic man. And she CERTAINLY isn't "A pregnant man"

No, actually, he's not. Gender is not equal to sex, and vice versa. Why not study some gender theory before you start pretending to know anything?

The operative word in your argument is "theory." The fact is that picture is of a surgically altered woman with two X chromosomes, there's nothing miraculous about it.

In case we didn't know -- she isn't a man.

I have to chime in with the choir here. I'm pretty willing to live and let live, but the "media's" insistence on referring to this bearded lady as a man is absolute foolishness. Are they really so afraid of offending people that they can't report this stunt for exactly what it is? A bearded woman who had her breasts removed is having a child. It would be one thing if this "man" actually looked masculine, but she looks exactly like a butch lesbian with a beard.

It is not a man. If it has female reproductive organs and chromosomes, then it is female. Again, it is not a man.

The scars are from having breast reduction so he can pretend he's a man.

With all the problems facing this nation, this "woman" has drawn more attention that the political primaries. Enough already......he is a woman.......make no doubt about that. GIve it up HuffPost....you are really scraping the bottom of the journalist barrel.

what is interesting it the "pregnant man" enjoying the freak show as well. i think this is all now for show. can someone explain to me how a "man" who stopped taking his hormones, so "he" could have a baby can still grow stubble and find the need to shave? the shaving is all for show to go with all the carnival-likeness that is surrounding these people's lives. he should have NO STUBBLE to shave if "he/she" is not taking any more hormones.

Not true. Once the testosterone triggers the growth of facial hair it continues to grow.

I think it would be justice in God's world, if we all received what we wished or thought of others.

For my part, I wish this family happiness free from the hatreds and judgements of man,

This Is A Pregnant "WOMAN" That Removed "Her" Breast And Has taken "Male Hormones" "She" Has FEMALE Reproductive Organs !!

Why Do They Continue To Refer To Her As A Man ?

i completely agree! this "person" has a uterus, so by all standards of measurments is considered a female. it's just another pregnant woman having a baby.
leave it at that!

Regardless of what you might think of what they're doing, might I ask why the scare quotes around "person"? Just curious.

Clearly you need some education on tran-gender issues. He is a man, he is legally married to a woman and they are going to have a child because his wife was unable to get pregnant.

In a normal social setting yes this person would be considered a man. If she is a woman who is uncomfrtable in her own skin and wants to have her outside reflect what she feels in her heart to be her true identity, a male, and then wants to marry a woman, more power to her.

But if that woman THEN makes the choice to have a child, in the context of discussing the pregnancy, she is not a man having a child. A man having a child would be a true news story deserving of international press because it will have never happened in the history of mankind.

She is a WOMAN who LIVES as a man and is having a baby; indeed she is TRANSGENDERED. For the duration of the pregnancy, she is forsaking her male identity, for it is the female which is able to carry a child. And I really don't care, its their business and lives. I personally am against going to such lengths to artificially impregnante yourself, gay or straight, when there are so many needy children out there who need loving homes to be adopted into. But at the end of the day it's the parents choice and not mine and I shouldn't have a say in THEIR personal lives.

But I'm ALSO not going to impressed as if this is some sort of medical miracle in which a man for the first time in history is going to have a baby.
