Pregnant Man Gives Birth
Thomas Beatie, aka The Pregnant Man, gave birth today to a healthy baby girl!
No other details were give about the transgendered man or his new baby joy.
Here’s some backstory: Beatie was born a woman, had his breasts removed, received male hormones, and legally changed his gender from female to male. He kept his female sex organs and married a woman, Nancy.
“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,” Beatie has said.

Poor kid is going to be more fuccked up than his dad

This is not a MAN.
And I agree with Rebecca, I feel very sorry for this child as well.
i think i just barfed.

Come on Jared, the fake Angelina pics and now this. Logging off now.
this is sick…what the hell seriously! That kid is going to be lucky if she doesn’t have mental problems.
no angelove this guy was really pregnant…it was all over the news
urgh, that picture’s pretty disgusting!

wonderful! I hope they are a very happy family… that kid is going to be super loved and I agree with him/her:
“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,”
totally true!
Congratz to them!! :)
I hope the baby turn out ok
congrats to them, I hope the child doesn’;t have too hard of a life

that dude (or woman) has some serious mental problem
that dude (or woman) has some serious mental problem
I worried about this children’s life… Sometimes science creates huge nonsense.
I’m over it dude. I am comfortable with everyone, but this is totally unfair to the child. Sorry, once you’re a man, you’re a man, you don’t slide back and have babies. You adopt.
thats weird dude i thought this was a joke when i first heard about it.
thats weird dude i thought this was a joke when i first heard about it.
Congratulations! But people twist the story and make it seem like he IS 100% male.
this is insane i feel really sorry for the child….
This is absolutely a sin! What do you think God is thinking right now? This is not how God set things up!
that poor child….to be born to two such delusional and selfish human beings. they started wh0ring the child out before it was even born…where will it end?
dude i agree with rebecca 2 its hild will be taunted and teased i hope it doesnt commit suicide but he isnt really a man hs like kinda a girl in a way..
I wish Mr. Beatie and his family all the best! Congratulations on the birth of a healthy child!
I wonder if it was a cesarian delivery? Wow, just think how strong they have to be as people to go through this ordeal for 9 months and knowing that it will not be over until their child is old enough to understand what has transpired. Well, they seem to have some kind of balance, so, I think the kid grow up okay.
that is a WOMAN!…I don’t care what anyone says. He was born a woman so naturally he can still give birth…don’t see what all the hype was for
congrats! I hope the baby is ok and i hope is happy!
But I don’t care what any one tells me that is not a man! It is still a chick.
Either way babies are always a blessing!
And we wonder why this world is so screwed up. Sure, both men and women can desire to become parents, but only women are equipped to carry a baby and give birth. You can’t have it both ways. This shameful person has said in the past that she always thought she should be a man. so she tried to. but then she wanted to be a woman again, even if it was just to give birth. this is the beginning of the blurring of the lines between male and female, and it’s just another way we’re trying to play God. the next thing you know, we’ll be adding animal appendages to our bodies to make us run faster! what an IDIOT.

Congratulations! But people twist the story and make it seem like he IS 100% male.
_______
He identifies as male. So we should still call him a “halfie” and insult him, or only accept it when someone wants to do things like this, and he shouldn’t complain then if we use that term to fit his current agenda?
He/she/it should have left the birth thing to the wife…the child will be so confused…
Disturbing.
It IS a FEMALE’S ABILITY to have a child though. Biology doesn’t talk about psychological, soft-science desires.
i don’t see the big deal. yeah it’s not what we hear everyday but the way i see it as long as two people love each other it doesn’t matter how they bring a child into this world.
i am sorry but the child will be taunted by children for life i hope she healthy though but i hope she is home schooled or she will have a horrible school experience
alli,
You spout the typical liberal leftest tripe. Get some morals and some brains. “EVERYTHING” is NOT “OKAY”.
how the hell you call her a man and she have a puss*y
people who had dic*k is men not puss*y
u gay people have no mind
how the hell you call her a man and she have a puss*y
people who had dic*k is men not puss*y
u gay people r CRAZY
I was born female and am male now. I have never wanted to have a child as a woman would. When I first heard about this transman becoming pregnant I was very angry. I knew it would be too confusing for people who aren’t trans themselves or know anyone who is. I was angry that it would make transmen into a joke or worse, be seen as “it”s. Well, the comments on here pretty much support my thoughts. It’s 2008 and people are reacting the way people have in the past to gay and lesbian couples having children–”the poor kid,” “she’ll be so confused”, “teased, taunted…”
Well, why? As long as people react without thinking things through, there will always be misunderstanding and anger and hatred.
I stopped being angry about this transman because I realized even though he and I have gone through similar experiences, we are very different. Who am I to tell other transmen what to do or not do?
I have always thought we have a special gift to have lived in both genders that weunderstand the differences as well as the similarities between men and women.
This is something that men and women have very strong feelings about. Trying to be logical and rational is almost impossible.
While I respect other people’s rights to have differing opinions, I think it’s fair to say non-trans people have no idea what this particular transman thought about BEFORE deciding to go through what was required to change genders and what was required to become fertile again.
These were not snap decisions.
no matter how hard she tries she will never be a man especially now that she’s had a baby. she’s a transexual or whatever.not a man.
She-He may be the last transgender that is ever permitted to keep their ovaries and womb and, hopefully, the American Medical Association is all over this story like flies and will make certain there are no further freak pregnancies in America. Simply cannot imagine the life this child will live with these two narcissists who have done this for fame and fortune.
If Oprah has this pair on her show one more time, she deserves to have her show ratings completely bottom out!
Newman,
Sorry, but if THIS was well thought through…it NEVER would have happened. Well, that is, if the people making the decisions weren’t completely bent and consumed with their own wants and desires. This child will be a joke and they could care less.
The comments that are against this mockery of marriage, sexuality, parenting, childbirth etc are NOT ignorant comments…they are comments based on having a clear concept of what is RIGHT and what is WRONG…..and THIS, my confused friend Newman, is WRONG. Now take your muddled mind, spirits and (now) body elsewhere so the NORMAL people can discuss this rediculous circus in peace.
its not a guy
ITS AWOMAN
who thinks shes a guy
annoying as FCk.
Mary, You are a genius. I hope the AMA does exactly what you say. If a person wants to sign off on being a male/female…then they should also have to sign off on all the rights and abilities available to said gender.
They can’t possibly document this as the first male to give birth. He/She was born a woman so the fact that she chopped off her boobs and changed her gender on paper to male does not mean she is a male.
When I guy born with a ***** carries a baby to term and then gives birth he will have bragging rights.
Until then, Don’t even go there !!
JESUS ABENÇOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!! MUNDO DOS CAPETA.
Congrat to this man and his family! And, shame on the negative comments posted by nasty readers. The nasty comments really show why the child of this man might face a hard future by some people.
miamiangel,
you should get yourself an education. then try a career in preaching. dummy.
I agree with #46. Th is is not a man who gave birth, but a women trying to be a man. He/she couldn’t even decide what they wanted to be.
holy crap. i feel so bad for that kid. its gonna get it baaaaadd. that guy/girl is so friggin retarded. that made me throw up. no joke. ew.
I feel kinda sorry for the child, but actually it’s great.
Even though I’m wondering how SHE can be pregnat, if she is married with a woman?!
o my lord. what is the world coming too?
poor baby
SHE BECAME ‘A MAN’, BUT WHY KEEP THE WOMB N THE OVARIES?
I AM UNCOMFOTABLE WITH THE WHOLE THING. SO, WHO IS THE MOTHER N WHO IS GOING TO BE DAD?
WHAT ABOUT BREAST FEEDING? OH, I FORGOT…NO TITS?
OYVAH, NO RIGHT.
I HOPE THE LITTLE GIRL WILL ADAPT AS NORMAL AS POSSIBLE.
DISGUSTING!!!!!!
that is disgusting!! i mean, that is seriously insane! i wanna barf…
sick sick sick puaj disgustin ¿¿¿how could a child have a healthy mind has if already he/she is born in an insane environment?
That is just ugh, that poor child.Everything about this is wrong.
How narrow-minded some people are… Please, be happy for the parents and the child. It’s obvious that the child is very welcome and I hope that other people will make her feel welcome as well.
I know of two (different) children that are being raised by two mothers and they are very happy families.
And it’s a non-item if the daddy of the child that’s born today can call himself a man or not. Important is, that he is a PARENT. In Oprah’s show, that has also been broadcast here in The Netherlands, the couple told that the mother is unable to give birth.
The reality is that this person is a woman no matter how they try to change thier outward appearance. DNA says that this person is a woman, You can change your outward appearance all you like your DNA will always say you are a woman, having a uterus also makes you a woman. Saying “Pregnant man” is just bull and untruthfull, this is only a pregnant woman acting like a man.
Having a baby is not a male or female thing? Okay what is It then? Sex drive is how nature ensured the species will propogate.without medical intervention. So to all you morons out there, if two homosexuals are left on an unpopulated island they will not be able to have a baby….or maybe they can ask an island monkey to be there suurogate hahaha
heterosexual people do not have a monopoly on raising well-adjusted children. in fact, it is quite the opposite. it is gestures like these that challenge the bigotry and homophobia that are still so sadly rampant out there. all of our identities are socially built and constructed. it is interesting that identities that make this explicit pose such a threat. why? woman to man to child bearing transgendered. it’s not the gender that makes any of us good responsible people. being “male” or “female” does not automatically make any of us wonderful human beings. we are more complex than that and believing otherwise is accepting only 1% of the entire picture.
Congratulations to the couple! As long as a child is surrounded by love, he/she will turn out okay.
Furthermore….she is noy and never has been MALE. She can call herself whatever she want, Man, KLINGON, Wookie…I could give a f…HOWEVER she is FEMALE. Removing breasts does not make you a male.
Why do gays support transgendered people? Why is the T part of GLBT? Transgendered should be in their own category and then shipped off the planet!
he’s a woman…just cutting off your pec k er doesn t change that
is the baby really a girl or did they cut off the boys pe nis?
People REALLY think everyone who is against this is not accepting of gays, lesbians, transsexuals and transvestites, nor knows the difference. Keep people delusional, keep ignoring the consequences, and keep supporting this to fit their agenda at the current moment and then she’ll/he’ll state later they want to be accepted as a man of society. Whatever, so done with idiotic people. This is why I’m moderate. Too liberal, too conservative a**holes all over the place.
uum ew. poor kid
If she has a ******, and she does, then she is a woman. Having boobs removed and taking testosterone to grow facial and body hair does not make her a man. You can say a ‘trans gender woman/man” gave birth, but unless she has a male reproductive system and sex organs you can’t say a man gave birth. Common sense really.
This crosses the line. You really do have to wonder where it ends. If this person were to come out and say, hey I feel better as a man. You know what? Fine. It is not my place to deal with that because in the end it will be. But then here is the kicker: she could not be happy with just that. This woman turned man brought a birthed child, not adopted, but birthed child into the picture. The question is why? It seems all too selfish. Hard to respect this “man” in need of post-pardum care.
This is perhaps one of the most disgusting events of the century. there are some places science should not go. See my article here for a more full, and complete perspective.

For humanity’s sake, this should NOT be accepted.

Well - I do hope the baby is healthy - I think she’ll be happy as well. As long as she is raised right and understands the brevity of the situation she has been born into.

I’m as open-minded as the next person but come on, where are the limits?!! This person became a MAN! How can a MAN give birth? It’s mentally sick!!!!!
i feel soooo sorry for this girl…. what a stupid WOMAN! becasue in the HER interior shes still a womann! i hate this stupid new thoughts of people trying to be something they are not!
This is a woman who didn’t complete her sex change by having her female organs removed. Still the picture is disturbing. It’s all sensationalism saying a MAN had a baby. This is a genetic female. Hope the treatments she had to give her the male appearance don’t come back to haunt the child, she will have enough to deal with.
# 28 i totally agree with you
SHE has no right to be called a man. It is a 100% female body!!
just because she took hormones does not mean she is a man! jeese this is a perfect example of how science has gone WAY WAY too far!
Okay, so he wasn’t a man after all. A “man” who kept his original female sex organs? He just looks like a man, that’s all, not a real man. I don’t know what he/she is.

Wow That Is Efffffed Up!
p.s. something tells me that wife of his/hers is pretty lonely if you know what i mean haha
OH GOSSSSSSH, Why you people don’t just take care of YOUR OWN LIFE.
If he wants to have a baby, and he CAN have a baby, whatahell is the problem?
Open your ******* minds, people, the world it’s NOT your backyard!
Some of these people are such freaking ignorant, closed-minded, antiquated, hate mongering old fools. Welcome to 2008 morans. Congratulations to this beautiful couple and their very fortunate child. She will have all the wisdom, understanding, love and insites of the world that the people I refer to above missed out on…
Pregnant woman posing as a man gives birth. Biologically she will always be a female, regardless what she did to her breasts. Sad messed up situation.
Why do they keep saying “the pregnant man” as if its this medical marvel. Just because SHE decided she wanted to get her boobs cut off doesnt mean shes a man now. Biologically she is still a woman and its a transgender female who had a child..I get so annoyed when people are stunned by this..Please if men could have children there would be alot of happy women!
you all act as if school is a breeding ground for homophobia. wake up people! its okie to be gay and start getting use to it, if anything people that are saying this is a problem are the problem. did you stop to think maybe they are going to raise THEIR child to be strong and proud… there are plenty of trans gender people who have kids , i know several and they are perfectly normal. i mean she (the child) is not going to be confused… i was shocked reading all the hateful comments and i agree the child is a blessing. she is born to two people who love each other which is more than i can say for many “correct” couples in this world… and they probably have problems like everyone else, no ones perfect…. and they probably have a bumpy road in front of them because of all the hateful people… that is why i am a very strong believer in karma, what goes around comes back around! that is all i have to say.
so true! poor kid, it is going to be a butt of all jokes.
the h o who gave birth, IT was not a man anyway. it used to be a woman! UGH!
I just glugged a warm coke! yowzah!
it s gr8. i hope that i can do the same. may alok ji help me to achieve it.
I wish the media would stop referring to this person as a man because she is not. I’m a journalist and have interviewed scores of transgendered men, none of them would ever have dreamt of keeping their ovaries and womb and the idea of enduring monthly periods let alone becoming pregnant would have filled them with horror. I can only think that this is either some elaborate publicity stunt or this person is completely confused about her identity. Either way it doesn’t seem a healthy environment in which to bring up a child who will now be subjected to intense media scrutiny.
This child will be more cared for, privileged, and mentally prepared for life then 2/3 of the world’s child population. The implication that this child’s life will be hard and wrought with ridicule as an argument against it being brought into the world smacks loudly of the veiled racist remarks made about interracial children in the 1970’s. I thought this new generation was beyond all that. Get with it kids!
this is so funny. americans confirming their stereotypes as being ignorant, self-centred, backward people. I feel so sorry for you. there is not man with white hair in the sky, holding a testament in his hand. LOL. oh yeah, and if you dont do whats on that tablet, he will be very angry with you and you must go to hell, but dont forget GOD LOVES YOU AHAHAAHAHA
Heaven forbid if two loving parents have given birth to a child that they really wanted and took great lengths to have. It’s a sin, come on, the bible I have read says, “don’t judge”. Bible thumping, self righteous people spend alot of time judging instead of using that energy and time for something positive. I feel sorry for children that are born to parents that didn’t want them, exercise their right to use birth control and choose not to, and the kids end up in foster homes. I wasn’t aware that a two parent household was a bad thing. I dont’ care if they are blue, same sex, different sex. Child will be damaged because the baby has two loving parents? Have you seen these two parents in an interview? Have you seen how supportive their family and friends are? I doubt it. Please get all the facts before you make hurtful, unjust comments…….Shame on you !!
Oh look…the TYPICAL rants of the more “open-minded” left-wing morons. You liberals are complete idiots. Not supporting this transgendered homosexual self-serving “family” doesn’t have to do with people being ignorant or scared of god. It has to do with knowing what’s RIGHT and what’s WRONG. You “anything goes” folks are the true imbeciles. Keep fooling yourselves into thinking you are more cool, intelligent and evolved then the rest of us. You aren’t and it is absolutely laughable that you can’t see your own deluded selves through our NORMAL eyes. You are the trash that is going to bring this world down. You keep stripping at the foundations of our civilization. Then what? When you have taken things too far, you will expect all of the people you accused of being closeminded to fix it back up for you. You will do this because WE will be the only ones left with anything resembling what civilization and structure actually are. Meanwhile, you all will be writhing around in the primordial hedonistic sh*thole of your own design….begging us to help you out of it. Maybe we will and maybe we won’t. My decision regarding that would be “NO”.
This story takes the song lyrics, “it’s my body and I’ll do what I want” to a new level. I’ll await the documented psychoanalysis of a woman who half-converts to a man and decides to get pregnant with another man’s sperm via a turkey baster from the veterinarian’s office. It doesn’t take a genius to realize there is something unique going on in the brain of this person. One just prays the child turns out normal after the exposure of enormous amounts of testosterone taken to become a half-conversion. Obviously, this is a test for true compassion.
i wished that he/she had spared a thought about the kid before giving birth to her. imagine the emotional trauma the kid’s gonna have to endure. i feel sorry for you, already, you poor innocent little girl. =(
i feel bad for his wife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i’m gonna hurl
I am dumbfounded, don’t know what to say now. This is absolutely beyond insanity.
This is wrong beyond wrong. This women gave up all rights to being a women when she decided she’d be more comfortable as a man instead of living in the body God specifically designed for her. While wanting a child is a desire seen in both men and women, being able to actually have one is stirictly a female characteristic.
God did not design a man’s body to give birth. I have no problem with her want to be a man, but being a man means she should have forfeited the ability to give birth as well. She can’t have it both ways.
I might need to check this beer belly sOmething is not right lol
pretty fucked up parents this girl is going to be so fucked up science are going to be all over her ass, Im still hoping to see the end of the world so i dont see so many fucked up people
A LITTLE WIERD BUT THATS OK!!!!
I FEEL BAD FOR THAT BABY THOUGH!!!!
I HOPE THE FAMILY IS SAFE AND HAPPY ALWAYS!!!
A LITTLE WIERD BUT THATS OK!!!!
I FEEL BAD FOR THE BABY THOUGH, SHE WILL GET TESED !!!!!!!
I HOPE THAT FAMILY IS SAFE AND HAPPY ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How in the world did he get pregnant?? Did he have sex with himself?
This is not a man! What the heck is the world coming to? Poor child is going to get picked on because the parents are freaks!
SUCKER!!!!!!!
from where did this she-man get sperms anyways, since he kept his female organs and is married to a woman.
UNBELIEVABLE!
who the hell married this a******????? gays r goin off the hook!!!!! NORMAL ppl where r u??? LOL
WOW, what is this world coming to? God made women to have a baby. This is sick.
its not even really a man its a GIRL who changed into a man but still has GIRL private parts so its not truely a man having the baby. its stupid.
“I have the right to have a biological child.” This quote pretty much explains why there are so many piss-poor excuses for parents out there in the world today. People think that having kids is a right rather than a privilege.
Wow, you people are rediculous. I thought we lived in a world where we could accept each other for who we are. The only people this kid is gonna get made fun of is by your kids if they carry the same view as you. You should be the ones who are ashamed, not him. We live in a free world, science is expanding, there will probably be a lot weirder things than this in the future, so get used to it. And instead of fighting it so much, why don’t you just accept it, it’s never going to change.
OMG I can’t believe this. We are getting closer to the end of times… Ok; if he or she whatever he/she is and he (she) married a woman the who got him(her) pregnant? His(her) wife?????????????????? This is some sick B S…
I better go to church…end of the world is really close… I still can’t believe it. :-O
I feel like throwing up…i bet whenever this “person” look at him/herself in the mirror he/she is gonna feel sick too! look at the person!!!! So gross! Yea agree to the fact that science is bringing up new innovations n bla bla bla…but still we are al human beings and our species consist of MALE and FEMALE gender only. Just cut the crap n b grateful for what u hev b********
la verdad eso me parece bien de que un hombre quede embarazado por que el hombre embarazado lo hizo por amor no porque sea gay me parece correcto los felizito tengan otro mas hijito los quiero besos suerte (:
