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.

only it isn't a man. So what's the big story? A dyke with a beard is pregnant, wow, that's just f*ckin amazing.

Wow. I'm disappointed and sickened by the intolerance and ignorance expressed in most of these comments. Seablood and blueshield- Both men and women produce estrogen and testosterone. Thomas Beatie wouldn't need to inject testosterone because his adrenals produce it naturally, just like every other woman. This is a high-profile pregnancy. Wouldn't you think Beatie is probably getting excellent pre-natal care and that the pregnancy is being closely monitored? While Beatie is still a female genetically and biologically, he is a man as far as his gender identity is concerned. Ebbtide- Beatie has had his breasts removed, but hasn't had the full gender-reassignment surgery. He still has a vagina and should still be able to deliver normally.

For those of you who have questions about how this is possible, a Google search will provide answers. Maybe once you have the facts you can also try to generate some compassion and understanding. I think what Beatie is doing will make a difference in the lives of many trans-gendered people. I wish him and his wife every happiness.

Well Big Brain ... you're wrong on all counts.

Biologically and genetically this is a WOMAN not a man.

Both genders produce hormones but, only one gender is female and has reproductive organs and can get pregnant and give life, that's a WOMAN.

People with Gender Identity Disorder are mentally ill and should be treated as such not highlighted as some beacon of tolerance; beyond absurd. Mutilating your body by hacking off or growing sexual organs is a sign of a deeply disturbed individual in desperate need of mental health care.

Proof of the insanity being shoved down our throats is in your own words: "He still has a vagina ..."

YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR FREAKING MIND.

"He" can not have a vagina, only a penis and "she" has a vagina and a small penis apparently grown with the help of hormones.

In case you did not notice, that's not a man. It's a woman who has taken male hormones and had her breasts reduced to nothing.

To all the folks put off by this story: sharing your reactions just encourages media outlets to carry the story.

Me? I'm not "disgusted", etc. I don't think it's wise to draw this much attention, but it's a free country. I just hope that they're putting the proceeds from all this publicity into a college fund for the kid(s).

Why is she releasing photos and making a spectacle of herself? No one would care about her if she was out and about pointing the spotlight on herself, a so called man with a womb. That poor child.....

Meant to type, /this is not a pregnant man.

I like to think of myself as open-minded and fairly progressiv­e... But this is not a man. This is a woman who has had her body modified by surgery and hormones to appear more like a man. This is not a pregnant . She seems to be someone that just can't decide.

That's not a man!!! Men don't have the whole uterus/vaginal thing going on, I looked it up on the wiki.
So let's not get all upset.

If he wasn't such a in-your-fa­ce-attenti­on junkie, I could be a bit supportive. But he is not and so I am not.

Ugly and not a positive image for transgendered parents, not at all.

I wish he was sterile, actually.

Sometimes a woman who had her breasts surgically removed is just a woman who had her breasts surgically removed.

Another story for MSNBC "Born in wrong body".

This is really sickening. I wonder what the baby would be calling this sicko, Mother or father?

what is sick is people who go through their whole life pretending to be someone they aren't. this person didn't feel connected to the gender in which he was born. i applaud him for being in touch with himself enough to admit how he felt.

Uh, getting pregnant is certainly connecting "him" to the gender in which she was born. She wanted to be a man, fine, get the surgery. If she doesn't want the surgery for whatever reason, fine, present yourself as a man to the world. But, DON'T GET PREGNANT AND CALL THE MEDIA!!!!
