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.”

I´m sorry, but this is quite disturbing.
First off, he was injected with sperm from a doner. Now i dont agree with the fact that he is giving birth, simply because he is a man now, well i should say mentally a man now, but none of us should judge because we never know what we would do if we were in his shoes. Yes they are going to go through obstacles as the child grows up, but that something they are going to have to deal with, so get off their back, and let them live the way they want to live, you dont have to live it.
wow, i can`t believe how ignorant everybody here is. this guy just wants to live a normal life with his wife and his biological child and nobody has the right to judge him or his sexual identity. he is not harming anyone nor doing anything wrong.
ps: no, you are not either born a man and a woman, that is simply not correct. according to wikipedia1 out of 1800 babies is born an intersexual, which means with both male and female reproductive organs.
also, there are various animal species on this planet that change there sex during their life or that are hermaprodites. it is natural.
so stop saying he is not a man. don’t be simple minded guys.
HAHAHAHA
Wikipedia is your source and basis for that arguement!!??? If that;s your best CREDIBLE source then you deserve to think that simple minded way you do.
Im not disagreeing that people are born w/ both male and female organs BUT this isn’t about those people BORN that way. Why not actually talk to someone who has been through it before you open your mouth.
This issue is on a different plateau, stop makeing simple comparisons
AS for those who say its none of our business, guess what the family kinda made it our business when they went PUBLIC so SOCIETY in general could discuss this supposed “different way of being” Hence we are part of society so it is our business. If they didnt want it to be, then they would have never gone public about it.
THEY WANT PUBLIC DISSCUSSION on the topic…
now please answer me this… when does the line get drawn before somebody does get hurt, because believe me folks, all this so-called tolerance, and acceptance for everything under the sun, is gonna come back to bite us all in the a.s.s someday.
damn…there are a lot of mean people in this god foresaken country. too bad it’s none of any of your business what this person decides to do.
This is great. I am so happy for them.
God bless them!

All you closed minded people should just back off.
I stand by my statement, mean or not. I don’t wish them any harm for being lesbians and having a child. I may or may not have an opinion on that fact. However, I call this exploitation and pure ego, self-centeredness for money. This is a woman having a baby; not a man. I can have plastic surgery to look like a cat and say I’m a cat, but it doesn’t make me a cat. Look at it this way. If this Tracy/Thomas became ill with some medical condition, what do you think she/he would say to emergency facilities trying to help. Do you think he’d say, I’m male and leave it at that. Do you think if all signs pointed to problems in the ovaries or uterus or ******, he’s going to stand on the fact that he’s male, and have a prognosis overlooked. Or do you think when the emergency facilities are there, he’s going to say, it could be my….. because I was female.
Sorry, most people have to be labeled as male or female…. not both. He can sure say I’m male but by medical terms, he’s not male… she’s a female… and since pregnancy is considered medical… I’d say on those terms, it’s a female having a baby.
If you want a world where there are no rules and no standards, just be careful what you wish for. It could endanger your life or someone elses. Most people are too shallow to see why this could be important and could affect others.
In this case, it’s a non-issue probably. It’s a woman having a baby and only those stupid to consider the facts, think otherwise.
These seem like great people that are wonderful, kind, loving.
The best environment is a loving one and these people seem like
they have their hearts in the right place to be parents to this child.
Nothing else should matter. What does matter is that…… it would be a better world if all the parents had the love to give their children that these people do. Just think what a better “Next” generation we would have.

He is not a male man. He is actually a woman who has a reproductive organ. Therefore, do not call him a pregnant man. He is a pregnant woman. This is not a weird world, people made it weird. Did I confuse you?
@129, Wikipedia is one of my resources. What is your resource? Common sense? Bible, Oprah? If you are willing to look, then you will see that Wikipedia quote it from the JH Hospital where normally the transsexual operation took place. I can quote also from others, but since we sit in front of monitor, I typed the easiest and fastest one.
This is not about tolerant, this about deciding our own destiny. Medical knowledge is not everything. We destroy this world in so many ways. Male pregnant species is never heard of, and will never be. We play god too often, I do not want to start thinking if we can take the responsibility to be one. Are we ready for that? I do not think so.
disturbing an
TRANNY RUN!!!!!
WOW! Its amazing but its still ******* wrong the ******* litte prick
How did He she or IT get pregnant by a woman. It doesnt work that way people.
Good luck Thomas! Ignore the ignorant bigots!
I agree with the comments from ‘fradulent story’, ‘Amy’, ‘ground control’, ‘grace’, and ‘misleading’. She has kept her female organs therefore, SHE is not a man…SHE is a woman…SHE is a woman who is carrying a baby. This is no miracle! If you have female organs…you’re a female…period. It is really sad when people blow such foolish things way out of porportion. Let’s remember what this really is…a woman who looks like a man carrying a baby.
thats a naked flat chested hairy pregnant WOMAN!! not a man!
omg!! i never heard man have pregnant! wow!
