Pregnant Man Sheds Baby Weight, Shows Off New Bod
Filed under: In The News
Yeah, we get jealous when we see the Madonnas and the Victoria Beckhams and the Jessica Albas of the world go from pregnant back to size 0 in what seems like a matter of hours.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.

Snooz said...@MsLisa1: you are sooo right. A REAL FREAK show. Just when we think we've seen it all, along comes another goofball. @Dixie: Yes, our children are confused, and it's no wonder, all of the freaks coming out of the woodwork are expected to be accepted and treated as normal. This is NOT normal. It's just CRAZY!

ahimsa said...why isn't it healthy for the kids? i think a loving home is healthy...and this family will probably instill values on accepting and loving others better than most of us do.
what is not healthy is all the marriages where people cheat, people fight all the time, etc. grow up in that environment (assuming you haven't) and deal with the scars forever. i see less good marriages/relationships than i do unhappy ones. and it really disappoints me the amount of people that cheat anymore -- where is the respect...where is the honesty (just walk away, don't cheat)...etc.
if a born-female identifies psychologically as a male...i'm all for letting her become a male and vice versa. i don't see an issue. i get that it isn't remotely the norm and makes people uncomfortable...but it doesn't change the fact that this person is ... a living being ... and deserves to be treated with respect. while most of us don't get it because we don't experience that feeling ourselves, it doesn't make it freakish or wrong or whatever.
judge the individual on his or her character...not on this.

Anne said...Which is why single parents and parents who adopt are also selfish and sick and don't give a damn about children's needs, right?

Kate said...While I do agree with you with feeling sorry for these children, I find it absolutely inappropriate for you to say that all gay people do not give a damn about the needs of their children. I have friends raised by gay parents who have done a far better job in raising their children then some heterosexual parents have. Many gay people adopt children who otherwise may not have had that opportunity. Is that still selfish?

Denise said...I saw his story on DHC yrs ago... he was a woman and still has a vagina and a uterus. Everything else is male hormone injections. If he stopped taking them... he would be a woman again. He was a very beautiful woman too.

Melissa said...Someone explain the difference to me between Beatie and my friend who has always had too much testosterone causing enough facial hair that she has shaved for 30 years and has now under gone a double mastectomy due to cancer. Are you trying to tell me she's now a man because she has higher testosterone levels and her breasts removed? Only difference I see is Beatie had a choice my friend did not.

frank said...Why do people keep calling her a man. She is not a man, never will be a man. She is just another woman that added a penis to her body, because she can.
By the way she is disgusting!
