The preganant MAN pregnant again...
Permalink  

The pregnant man, Thomas Beatie, was made famous last year on Oprah for being the first pregnant man. He was formally a she that after hormones and surgey became a man. Thomas announced on 20/20 with Barbra Walters, November 14, he is pregnant again. He gave birth to his first child, a baby girl on June 29. His wife is not able to have children due to health reason but Thomas is able to use her egg and a sperm donar for the pregnancy.

What are your thoughts?
Is this okay? Are you creeped out?

Its a really strange situation to be sure. But whatever, if they are two loving parents everything is fine. There is nothing immoral about it.

I read the article and it basically said that he was born a female, and has testostrone treatment to become a man.
And they found a sperm doner and used a syringe without a needle to create the baby

Personally, I don't think it's a little disturbing, but whatever floats your boat

this is a very odd situation
im fine with it

as long as they re good parents
but nonetheless
it is just strange

and charlie
i beliveve the answer is that she was a lesbian
aand thusly wanted to be with a woman
and the woman she got with happened to be straight
and wanted children


does anyone know why they wouldnt just adopt?

i mean
is nt that less.....public?

That's exactly why they didn't adopt. Think about it.

I think this is pretty awesome. I watched a special on this couple over the weekend and they seem fully capable of raising a child. Good for him to go through with what he wanted to do. Many people find the image of a pregnant man disturbing but I think it is very interesting. And no this does not creep me out.

Am I the only one who is bothered when they call this guy a man. He is just a woman who took a lot of testosterone and because of it looks like a man.
