I agree totally!! Doesnt matter to me but thats not a MAN having a baby(Period)

THIS IS NOT A MAN IT IS A WOMAN THAT HAD HER BREAST REMOVED AND STARTED TAKING MALE HORMONES. THIS IS A WOMAN TRYING TO LOOK LIKE A MAN. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't agree with you more! 'he' is in fact, a woman. I know that society would like to belive that men can have babies but, the truth is... they can't. If it were me in that situation, and I really wanted have a baby, I wouldn't announce it to People Mag... I would just do it. I am happy that they are able to have a beautiful family, I just think that they should do it in private so they can ward off anyone who thinks that they don't have the right to do as they are doing.

is it really being open minded if you use the phrase "call a spade a spade"?

She needs to get spade... :O SHe is a She.. the parts she was born with are all still there...

Just when you think you've have seen it all. I don't really think what is going on with this situation is right or wrong but did these people ever actually think about how this will affect their children in the long run? I mean, this is not a common thing and when they get into school and bring home friends, many parents or even children will not be very comfortable about this I am sure. But we all know how cruel some people can be. I just feel bad for the children and how they will grow up. I think people need to take them into consideration more.

I agree with you JoAnn. "Thomas" is a woman. Sensationalizing this is crazy. Live life as you wish, but stop saying you are a man. This is a field day for the press and of course they will hype it up.

I agree 110% with this post, a man is a man and a woman is a woman and this is just media hype to call this woman a man and we all know this and so lets all grow up and see this for what it is, a woman is having a baby and in that it's a beautiful thing but a very NORMAL experience and this person seems to WANT the attention and for Oprah Winfrey to have this woman on her show and get caught up in this silly hype and to call HER a 'pregnant Man' is absurb and this is demeaning to all woman because only a woman can truely carry a baby to term or maybe I missed something?

Why? Why? Why? Is it any business of ours....? Let them be.
They are not harming us.

I agree completely this person is no more a man than I am a woman , they need to stop refering to them as the pregnant man , more like the pregnant wanna be a man

AMEN... you couldn't have said it better or in a more sensitive, yet correct, way

I couldn't have said it better myself!

oh god, now we have to hear about the pregnant "man" for another 8 months. I'm sick of hearing about "him" sigh

Please! Give me a break! They want all the attention they can get, the freak! I will not go so far as to threaten their lives, but seriously, the fact is "he" is not a man. Never was never will be! "He" started life as a female and in fact never underwent a complete gender change so "he" is still a female. That is how "he" is able to carry a baby and yes S(HE) claims to be a man. She is in fact just a freaky Lesbian and is in a relationship with another woman. This would be alright except that S(HE) is pretending to be a man who can get pregnant! That is what makes it weird. Like I said S(HE) does really like the attention S(HE) is getting! As do all odd and freaky people!

Given the geographical area these folks live in, I am surprised they haven't been run out of town on a rail. I grew up in that area, and 40 years ago, if a person of color moved into the area, they didn't stay long. Transgender would probably put to locals over the edge.

However, that said, I admire these people, trying to create a family out of something strange, and very unconventional. More power to them, and God help their children.

The word Homophobia is a mental disorder homosexuals gave to heterosexual for not desiring same sex sodomy or male rectal intercourse. These people are supported by "men who get pregnant, trisextuals who like men woman and farm animals. The next group who wont equal sexual rights are father daughter , sister brother grand paw granddaughter and I have the constitutional right to try to get my dog, hamster and cat pregnant perverts.

I agree with you on most parts of your post. I also admire your acceptance on these things. The one thing I would have to disagree with is calling him a female. He has had top surgery as well as taken testosterone for a long while. He stopped taking it so he could carry the children. Having done these things allows him to be catagorized as male. He can even change his birth certificate to state that fact if he chose to. I am sure he would have bottom surgery if it was perfected but it is not and that leaves most female to males in a sad position. Male to females can have a complete reassingnment surgery that is usually succesful.....it can not be said for female to male. Thomas is indeed a man.

JoAnn, you could not have said it any better!

Wow Rose, you're a moron!
I can only hope your children/grandchildren are gay or transgendered, then maybe you'll realize how asinine your comments are. People are who they are. No amount of counseling is going to make a gay person straight, or a straight person gay. So you're saying if you received intense counseling, you could be persuaded to become gay??? I assume your answer is no, so you must think only gay people can be persuaded to become straight. Ridiculous! It's dumb people like you who perpetrate hate in this country.
