Pregnant Man Sheds Baby Weight, Shows Off New Bod
Filed under: In The News
Now we have Thomas Beatie to add to our list. So, no Beatie isn't a super star celebrity, but the transgender man has made headlines for giving birth to three children.
And, now, the New York Daily News reports, he's gotten himself in post-baby shape that would even make Madge envious.
The Oregonian, 37, known in the press as Pregnant Man, has traded his baby weight for ripped abs, according to the newspaper, and E! reports it was done through a combination of diet, exercise and testosterone doses.
E! also adds Beatie is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
Beatie, born a woman, has three children with his wife, Nancy, the Daily News reports. He says he does not plan to have a full sex change, according to E!, as he says he is legally considered a man already.
The Daily News reports Beatie had 10 years of sexual reassignment therapy, including chest reconstruction surgery.

KMart2000 said...Oh Maria, I think my "stepdaughter" would disagree with you. My significant other & I have been together for 30 years. She had a daughter which we raised together. "Our" daughter graduated from college; has been married to the same man, father of both her children, for 18 years; and owns a successful catering business. I only wish I was younger so I could selfishly ruin another child's life. I do agree that this specific situation doesn't seem healthy for the kids, but to stereotype all gay people as uncaring, is irresponsible on your part. Hope you don't hurt yourself when you fall off of that pedestal.

Julie said...He is not a man. He has female parts that makes him a woman not a man. I have no issues with people who are transgender, transsexual, homosexual, ect. My best friend is homosexual and I love him to death. I have known a few transgenders in life and they all had sex changes. SHE has not gone through a sex change therefore SHE is not a man.

sandy said...Men do not have a uterus. He was able to give birth as he was a woman with a uterus before he took hormones and had surgery to become a man.

Ben said...Someone mentioned mocking God. He said "I will not be mocked." John Lennon, "The Beatles is more popular than God." Bang, you're dead. The designer and builder of the Titanic, as it was leaving for it's first and only cruise, "Not even God Himself can sink this ship." Not nice to mock God.
And Sandy, she still has her uterus, read the story again.

Michelle said...Sandy did not say that the subject did not have a uterus....she said that men do not have a uterus....she is acknowledging that the subject is still a women by biological terms.

TheWalkingRiot said...Many transmen do not have "bottom" or phalloplasty surgery because there is no surgery that accurately creates anything that actually looks like a penis. If you dare say this person should have bottom surgery, then I invite you to go look up the after photos of what that is at this time-- many transmen are still waiting for technology to catch up to something that is anywhere near what is already available for transwomen. A gender therapist wouldn't consider this transition "incomplete", neither has the state that acknowledged this person as a male.

Lee said...You are right Julie this is a SHE. No matter what she thinks evidently She was not sure about being a man because if she was she would have gotten rid of her ovaries or had her tubes tide. Because all the men I know are sure they want to be men and will give you a fit about doing something as silly a spraying women's cologne on them. So I say again this is a woman who instead of spending time in a doctors office getting butchered she should have spend time in the psychiatrist chair getting past whatever issues she evidently had with being a woman.

Lindsay said...Actually, it makes "her" female, not a woman. Woman/man is a social term, female/male is a biological term. So technically, he is still a man, with female parts.

bobby said...You're Absolutely right!!! I don't care what "new" parts you put on yourself, you are what you're born as. You're a woman, who thinks you're a man. That's it!!!!!

danny said...As long as the words Pregnant Man are in parentheses, it's okay with me. But really, SHE will always be a SHE.
