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.

Eliza said...I think your sexual orientation or your internal sexual structure have absolutely nothing to do with your parenting skills. I have come into contact with both gay and straight people alike who have set me on edge and have met amazing people of both orientations as well! Race, gender, sexuality-these having nothing to do with loving your kids and giving them the best possible life they can have! What a couple chooses to do behind closed curtains is totally their business-gay or straight, it shouldn't be shoved in my face. I agree with an aforementioned comment-I think the publicity to this story is detrimental simply due to ignorant, hateful people who believe they can choose a way of life for a family/children they do not even know! You should have no sense of responsibility in that regard-they look like a happy family! Yet I will bet that some of these same people commenting have pregnant teenagers in their families or know of drug addicts who have children-just because people CAN doesn't mean they should. Just because they are straight OR gay doesn't mean they're better. It is an individual matter-and you should attempt to wrap your heads around that before you make bigoted, cruel remarks on a subject you have no experience in. Also, for Christians, Jesus hung out with prostitutes-so if you judge people for the lifestyle they participate in, you're not really following God's path are you? :) Just a thought.

richardcappiello said...HE is a man... legally, therefore He is addressed as HIM... not she.

bill said...richard cappeillo... no penis. a women. has vagina and uterus. women. is pregnant. women. wants to have kids. women. I don't care how many there are. i don't care if one is elected to any public office. You can't know what i imagine. The fact is, this is a hair lipped women who wants to be a man and can't, because she was born a women and still has all the parts. That is also why she is pregnant.

Instead of worrying about what gays do, you need to worry about yourself, because you really have serious control issues. Worry about yourself. That's plenty to worry about.

L.Borja said...Hopefully the taxpayers or private insurance company shouldn't have had to pay for this reassignment. She wanted to have babies, then she obviously was still confused about her true gender.

Gazderpha said...this is NOT a man. This is a woman who had her breasts removed and takes male hormones and still has a uterus and vagina.
no matter is SHE has "bottom" surgery or not, her DNA will still show female.

krktoday said...This is no more a man than Chaz Bono. Chop off the boob's and take pill's to grow more body hair and call yourself a man. Pregnant man was so misleading. Is there one person anywhere that consider's her to be the world's first pregnant man? PLEASE

Sandman said...Once, when a stubborn disputer seemed unconvinced, Lincoln said, "Well, let's see how many legs has a cow?" "Four, of course," came the reply disgustedly. "That's right," agreed Lincoln. "Now suppose you call the cow's tail a leg; how many legs would the cow have?" "Why, five, of course," was the confident reply. "Now, that's where you're wrong," said Lincoln. "Calling a cow's tail a leg doesn't make it a leg."
She can get all the reassignment therapy she can and yet, at the end of the day she will still be a woman.

Cherokee said...Do you actually KNOW any gay people with kids ? Thought not because if you did, you wouldn't make such ignorant statements. While I don't agree with the lifestyle, I am not a homophobe & DO know gays who have kids & are all wonderful parents.
