"Pregnant Man" Expecting Second Child (VIDEO)

From ABC:

Thomas Beatie, the controversial "pregnant man" who gave birth to a daughter earlier this year, reveals to Barbara Walters in an exclusive interview that he is pregnant again with his second child.

Thomas Beatie, a transgender, welcomed a baby girl, Susan, June 29. Since sharing the story of Susan's birth with ABC News, he and his wife, Nancy Beatie, hadn't spoken to the media until they sat down last month with Walters.

Thomas Beatie, who is in his first trimester, tells Walters he did not go back on the male hormone testosterone after Susan's birth so he could have another baby.

I find this very disturbing. It is just a lie. A woman that wants to be a man is using her God-given Gift to have a child. No matter how you slice it you have to do it they way God intended. This is just a lie!

Give. Me. A. Break.

Just don't send the kids to Public School, the whole world will be watching their every move thanks to their publicity hungry parents, and it's not fair for the kids.

Two women living together having a baby, she is not a man, only in the theater of her mind........

[imsosure]

Not actually a man or there wouldn't be a baby. Perhaps someone who has an emotionally challenged identification issue who also under went physical alterations with chemicals and surgical intervention who seems to in some ways appear to be a man but that's about it.

Like Michael Jackson is not actually white, just trying to fit into their brain.

I am sure that they are wonderful parents and all but this wasn't news the first time and it isn't news the second. This is a woman who had a breast reduction and took male hormones for a while. She still has a hoohoo, a cervix, a uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. She is NOT a man. Homely lesbians who look like Wayne Newton have been having turkey baster children for years. I know some. You could just as easily find males who wear make up, and have taken estrogen and grown breasts who have fathered children.

When you find a man who has the XY karyotype who can carry a fetus to term in his abdominal cavity, then you will have news.

Here's hoping the human race will survive to see closed-minded intolerance suffer the same vitriolic censure expressed here for this loving family.

[cybertoothcat]

This whole thing is ruining my marriage! I asked my husband to have my baby and he said, "NO!!!"

Just kidding....LOL (Latte Obama Liberal)

The bigger question we are facing is how plastics and chemicals in the environment are damaging dna + chromosomes and creating more people with variations on the XX/ YX chromosomes. More and more stories are appearing in the news about animals and fish having trouble conceiving, and humans being born with all sorts of defects, including to their chromosomes.

Are we facing a future where a larger proportion of humans and animals are biologically gay?

If so, that will have a profound effect on gay rights, and gay people raising families.

The birth control pill is the biggest problem. All of the hormones being flushed are messing with fish populations. The male fish are being "feminized." Sounds made up until you look it up and find out it's really happening.

This sort of thing is scary. And then you have sharks who are miraculously getting pregnant. The hormones are a big problem.

Biologically--Thomas' DNA is that of a woman--having said that he is not he, but she.... A woman who has begun removing obvious signs of her sex.

So.... Thomas is a lesbian having a child -- and is a lesbian who wants to be and look and act like a man in her community.

At the end of the day the question for us all is whether we think that behaviour is tolerable.

[Strepsi]

"At the end of the day the question for us all is whether we think that behaviour is tolerable."

No, that's not really a question for any of us.

Log as it's not breaking the law, it is not up to "us" to "tolerate" it or not, at all.

[Internaut]

No, I think we've answered that already. Lesbians enjoy relatively high status in our society, and are seldom discriminated against, unless you count the red states. The real question is solving the problem of mental illness, which this young lady demonstrates.

[xxnounxx]

I think its disgusting,and will harm the child in the future,especailly no one knows what character the child will have...

she is pregnant lesbian,,,why call her a man

[lvdragonlady]

Who in the heck cares? This is NOT NEWS.

[Sammy00400]

And yet, you clicked on the link taking you here,.

Anyways, it does raise interesting questions. As far as the govt is concerned is gender about biology (surgically changed or not) or is it a state of mind? What is the line between what is male and what is female?

Oh, and in business does he/she have the right to paternity or maternity leave? Which one? And since I assume insurance companies must follow the law what are its requirements... and what benefits will it try to deny?

[labman]

It's amazing what some people will do for attention.......................and money for the baby pictures.

[MightyAfrodite]

Sooooooooooooo sick of the media referring to this person as "a pregnant man". Someone who has ovaries and eggs is a woman, pure and simple. What annoys me about this situation is that this woman wants to have it all, and no one gets to have it all - and that's a good thing. If she wanted to be a man, she should have embraced all which being a man entails .... including not being able to conceive a child. If she wanted to be able to bear children, then she should have just stayed a woman. How in the H-E-double-hockey-sticks does one have HALF a sex change operation? I don't have a problem with this person because she wanted to become a man. I have a problem with this person being a female when its convenient.

[defdes]

Couldn't agree more.... SO ANNOYING, this is a chick with a beard period, end of report.
By this logic, Madonna could fall under this headline.

[CoulterIsASuccubus]

You are correct. She is NOT a man. My problem is with the idiotic media attention and yours seems to be that she isn't living up to YOUR expectations. Sounds like you have a problem.

[mamawlewis]

What some people will do for medial coverage. It's just a woman having a baby and that happens how many times all over the world.?? He is not a man, it's a woman. Let's get on with real news.

[shelsay]

a woman got pregnant...wow things are really changing.
