Pregnant Man is Pregnant Again
Filed under: Bump Watch, In The News
Remember that guy who had a baby earlier this year? Well, he and his wife Nancy are having another!Thomas Beatie is a transgender - he was born a woman but after undergoing gender reassignment surgery, he is legally considered a male. He elected to retain his reproductive organs and because of that, was able to get pregnant with the help of a sperm donor. In June, he gave birth to his daughter Susan.
Despite all the negative attention Beatie's situation has brought upon him and his family, he is anxious to do it again. He tells Barbra Walters of ABC News that he deliberately stayed away from the male hormones after giving birth so that he could conceive again. "I had my checkups with my hormone level... everything is right on track," he said. The baby is due in June.
Thomas Beatie not only knows the joy of childbirth, he also knows the pain of loss. Before his successful pregnancy with Susan, he had become pregnant with triplets. That pregnancy had to be terminated because it was ectopic. Here's to a happy and healthy pregnancy this go around.

Crystal said...I wont pretend to know what is going on in this PERSON's mind. I dont know what this PERSON is thinking or feeling. I dont know why they feel the way they do about the body that they were born into.
And you know what? I DONT CARE.
What I do know, is that this PERSON went through hell to get a baby. This baby is one more child in this world that is cared for and loved.
There isnt anything, in my book, wrong with that.

kristian said...Who are we to judge this family? It is such a Judeo-Christian North American perspective that allows us to pass judgment on what is "different". The majority of the human population allows for a third gender, unfortunately ours is so focused on what we think is right that we negate entire elements of society. Thomas is not the first person to make this change, nor will he be the last. He isn't the first one to become pregnant, nor will he be the last. It doesn't matter what your moral stance is, the fact is that there are children being born, wanted, into a loving home.
Why do you feel it necessary to judge them for that? Get off your moral high horse and ponder all the fantastic choices you've made in your lives. I'd also venture to say that we all know a few people who should not be parents, and while I don't know this couple-from what I see-they come no where near topping my list. Perhaps we should all concern ourselves with our own moral character just a little bit more.

kristina said...It's not about who is a parent or who can ba a parent. This is about a woman who turned her back on God and changed herself like she was ashamed. Of course, she'll say she was born that way, but it is a lie. She is an abomination and she shames gender alltogether.
Plus, our children are being exposed to this and are then ruined at the thought that they might be different when they are perfectly fine the way they are.

patty said...I know ,I have made some people mad at me on here, but I have to add another thing,..
Don't you think, that when sodom and ghamorah was destroyed , it wasn't because they lived righteously, it was because they lived and did things sexually wrong.
i'm just stating what the bible teaches. and if that hurts the feelings then so be it.
you can mock and make fun of a islamic doll and yet you call someone down when they know it's wrong about same-sex issues, I think you have your morals all wrong, and that you need to look at the whole picture. !!!
so if you want to aruge ,aruge about the bible, and how (GOD) does judge those that do this sorta thing,. and it does hurt them. not us. and i'm not being wrong in this issues. so if you have issues, go read your bible.that's all I have to say.

kristian said...Patty-
What on earth are you talking about? That last paragraph didn't make ANY sense. I'm not sure if it's what your trying to say that lacks sensical presentation, or if you need to review proper grammar. Either way-maybe find a better way to articulate your point than a bunch of gibberish.

april said...Why is it any of your business to judge? The only judgment that will matter its when this man passes on, then God will decide whether or not he has committed an act of sin by doing what he did. There are people out there molesting children and murdering people. I can't believe you guys are actually worked up about this. Trans-gender ppl have gotten pregnant before, for whatever reason this guy just got the headline. They may be better parents then half of you on here being critical. I can only imagine what you teach your kids. This is the same as gays not being able to care for children better than a man and woman, or interracial marriages. God made us all equal deal with it!!! Leave it to God to decide and let them be. focus on something more important.

Shannon said...hm well id start with the whole, "well he was born a woman and had surgery to become a man, but still had woman parts, therefore he was able to have a baby" hm...guess thats all the explaining there needs to be done. what do u mean how!? it doesnt get any more simple than that. but then again, thats what id tell my son, if he were old enough and asked. i hope he doesnt, so as not to confuse him, but if he ever did i wouldnt lie or avoid it. id tell him plain and simple.

Shannon said...why do people always bring in their religious opinions on shit like this? its ridiculous. where in the bible does it say anything about a woman wanting to be a man and it being a sin?! i havent read the bible, but i believe there is nothing in there that states his/her doing is a sin. if god is really so "great" and loving, he will "forgive" this person and love them nonetheless. i however believe that if this person wants to have children, that is their business and i support their efforts. its the same as two homosexuals "having" a baby. it is possible. and it is real. get over it people.

Kristina G said...This is disgusting. This person was born a woman and has ultimately slapped God in the face by getting a gender change.
How hypocritical can this WOMAN get. She was born a woman, changed who she was and says she was born that way. NO! You were born a woman under the eyes of God. That is the way you should stay.
Our children are being exposed to this filth and think it's okay. I understand you have the right to the pursuit of happiness, but this goes beyond that line.

sue said...I was disturbed by the couple that would not tell anyone their baby's gender. This is just disturbing to the 10th degree beyond that. Why didn't he/she at least have the babies while still a woman? Those poor, messed up kids. Try explaining that one to friends.

TRE said...I don't know why the media continues to address this person as a man when IN FACT she was born a woman. It's not a man being pregnant. It's a woman who had a sex change having a baby. Get it right! You have to be born a man to be a man.
