Default 'Pregnant man' reportedly gives birth to daughter in Oregon

That headline hurt my head.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Thomas Beatie, who was born a woman but after surgery and hormone treatment lives as a man, has given birth to a girl at an Oregon hospital, People magazine reported on Thursday.
ADVERTISEMENT

Beatie, 34, who kept female reproductive organs when he legally became a man 10 years ago, confirmed the birth to the magazine.

The baby, conceived through artificial insemination using donor sperm and Beatie's own eggs, was born on June 29 and Beatie and the baby are "healthy and doing well," People reported.

"The only thing different about me is that I can't breast-feed my baby. But a lot of mothers don't," People quoted Beatie as saying. He has had his breasts surgically removed.

Sme of them live about 15 minutes from where I do. The stupid thing about this is that the press keeps calling her a man. If she's pregnant, that pretty much makes it a lock that she's female. A double-boobotomy and an addadictomy does make her man any more than dressing a pig like a chorus girl makes it a Rockette.

He told the magazine that contrary to published reports, the baby was not delivered by Caesarean section, but no other details about the birth were given.
I'm having trouble guessing...

In response to this article, all I can say is...

Some people are messed up. The child in question deserves a decent upbringing.

There is something a little worse. No parents at all. This Guy/Gal might be a good parent. I'm sure they'll pull through. As long as people who have opinions keep them to themselves.

No. A woman gave birth to baby after having surgery/drug treatments to make herself look like a man.

It doesn't matter what someone "legally" is, as seeing as she is genetically a women, biologically a women. The test is not what she wants to be, but what she is. Can her new penis successfully enpregnant another women? No, it is only good for aiming while peeing.

Gotta love the empathy on this thread. Not to mention the deep understanding of both human psychology and the physiology of the brain.
