Pregnant Man???
Is he really pregnant? Well, it all depends on who you ask. Thomas Beatie is actually a woman who had a sex change but kept all the baby making equipment.
It definately made history..but at what cost? I’m not sure he thought it all the way through…he has bascially made him and his family a “freakshow”. He is definately getting publicity, but his children will have to suffer through it as well whether they want to or not.
To do this all you need is a sex change with all of your baby making stuff intact, the will to become pregnant, the man stuff..and voila! Pregnant man! If you ask me..it really doesn’t qualify as a man having a baby though.
If you are thinking of doing this, please, please, please think it through. Try to get all of your woman stuff done before your operation. I mean, there has to be a reason he wanted to be a man. To me, God made him a woman.. so there really was no choice. But science and technology has pretty much made anything possible these days. I’m sure there are dire consequences for doing such things. Some of todays operations are basically learning points and we have not lived long enough to see the outcomes.
I actually saw this family on the View a few months ago. I think it would be more amazing if she was born a man and then got pregnant, i would raise an eyebrow to that. There is a family right down the block from me who is a lesbian couple. The “wife” was married to a man beofre and has three grown children, he youngest is 14. The “man” is a woman who has never had any children. They consider thier family as normal as any other, yet, the 14 year old has had some serious issues and no father inthe picture. He’s a good and smart boy, just emotionally ripped up to the point he was lying to others, saying he was left home for days while his mom and “dad” stayed and worked in NY. I feel men, actual men have a harder time with this issue than women do.
I suppose no family is completely normal. With Love and proper guidence, a good support system and structure, the kids should be okay. Nothing is too suprising these days.
