The Pregnant Man on Oprah — VIDEO

Thomas Beatie and his wife Nancy are a happily married couple and are expecting their first child. But it’s the husband, Thomas, who’s pregnant.

Despite having his gender changed from female to male, Thomas, 34, kept his female sex organs intact because he hoped to have a child some day.

“I actually opted not to do anything to my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day. I see pregnancy as a process and it doesn’t define who I am,” Thomas told Oprah. “I feel it’s not a male or female desire to have a child. It’s a human need. I’m a person and I have the right to have a biological child.”

Thats a woman, people, she was born a woman and still has female organs.

he is a she!

that is ugly! you don’t believe that stupid thing1

If you watch the video, it explains it all. He went to 9 different doctors before one decided to help him with this. If I remember correctly I think he said it was In vitro fertilisation. He said that although he knew he wanted to be a man and had his breasts removed, he decided to keep his female organs because he one day wanted a baby. I won’t go in to all detail about what was said but that’s just some of it.

OHHHH MYYY…What is this world coming to….I think that I’m a pretty open-minded person, but what’s next??? I mean, SERIOUSLY?? Is this really on T.V???? This isn’t cool! And it definitely isn’t going to be fair to the child.

All I can say is OMG!!!!!!

Ugh. This kid is going to be in therapy for a while.

This topic is really disturbing!!! I read about it first in March…..I think the reason they say pregnant man is that legally she became registered as a man once he had all the changes made to his body……..Its weird to wrap your mind around this topic , if a girl feels as though she wants to date women and become a lesbian and have a child its fine, but to go the extra mile and become a man and still wants to become pregnant and have a child….is TWISTED!!! They had other options…It aint right!!!

some people happen to born feeling like a man or female and there is nothing they can do about that. these innocent people undergo operations to make them more socially accepted.. and theres nothing wrong with that either. everyone wants to feel like they fit in. just like in hollywood people have plastic surgery because they want to fit in or become someone better. if he had the ability to bear a child when his wife isn’t able to.. then.. why not do it?
its an extreme case.. and its definetly weird.. but its not disgusting.

JC - I totally agree. It’s funny, but who cares if they want to have a kid together, we as a society have no problem with single moms, gays adopting or living together so I don’t really see what the problem is. If they want them, let them have them - it’s no skin of your nose what they do with their lives as it doesn’t impede on what you do. Society just needs to get over themselves & learn that families come in different sizes & shapes!

I don’t see anything wrong with this. Here’s an adult in a committed relationship wanting to have a baby. What’s the big deal?

Nancy has two adult daughters, one is married, and they are both fine with this.

In fact the married daughter said her Mom and “Thomas” set a great example of “love” for she and her husband.

Totally twisted!

Regardless of what he/she calls his/herself, that is not a preggers man. that is a preggers woman!

I’m sorry but this just disturbs me.

but it is a woman. biologically she was born a woman. so even though she’s a “man” now. she will always be a woman.

it’s just kinda creepy to see this. and I’m not a bigot. it’s just weird.

Thanks for uploading this! I’ve been trying to look it up on BitTorrent but no torrents available.

This Thomas dude or dudette w/e is very selfish. You can’t have both worlds. Either you are a man or a woman. You can’t be both. And the docter who agree to this should be fired. So wrong…

Bt, he, is SHE truth?..
haha, i mean i se in the notice she is a woman but like a manx)..
haha
Kiss

alright, you know what?
this is getting blown outta proprtion!
he’s not the first ‘man’ to give birth.
yes, he’s legally a man.
but there was another tyrasgender who gave birth.
so idk why everyone’s making a big deal of this.

that poor child will be traumatized.

What is the common denominator with all homosexuals and transexuals? Each one of them was either abused when they were a child, had no parent/s growing up or lost their parent early on in their life, witnessed abuse, murder, or any other traumatic event in their life. These people are ill and I can’t believe our society just accepts it and doesn’t put money into researching and finding a cure for these poor individuals.

What he said ... @ 04/03/2008 at 8:40 pm

I saw the Oprah show. To answer some questions. He didn’t fully become a man, so I don’t even know if he can even be considered transgender. He had his female breasts removed and started taking testosterone which made the c l itoris grow into a mini p enis. He said that he can have sex with that. I believe he still has a ******. They got a sperm donation and then injected it themselves. So it was artificial insemination and not in vitro because he still has his female reproductive organs.

The testosterone also gave him hair on his face and chest and made the outside body more male. His doctor said he’s been off testosterone for 2 years, so there shouldn’t be any effects on the baby.

Disgusting @ 04/03/2008 at 8:42 pm

Is the end of the world to me. That’s too much.

Well, after this transgender story, I think the ovaries will not be left fertile or intact in the next sexual conversion patient!

Why would a woman who wants to be a man keep her ovaries to become a freak show? I suspect the doctor who performed her/his surgery is not too pleased with what is now occurring!

Actually, I was impressed with the articulation of the “wife’s” daughters by a former marriage but found the mother and her own story as peculiar as the “pregnant husband’s”. As the neighbor said, I can’t wrap my mind around the pregnancy and find myself “sexually dyslexic”. As regards these people, whom I sense are doing it more for publicity and monetary gain than any other reason, I just cannot find the appropriate level of compassion. “He” has been in the process of writing a book since the age of 17 years, known his “wife” for 10 years, they married five years ago, had a miscarriage last year, and now pregnant again (with use of a veterinarian’s turkey baster) and donor sperm! Does “he” still have a ****** to deliver a child or will it be a C-Section baby? IMO this “guy” (along with his “wife”) has planned all this publicity for a very long time along with the “creation” of the book! No way are they making any money off my family!

Oprah simply gets more freakier by the year. If this is the New Earth, then it is time for me not to return here in the next lifetime!
