Thomas Beatie is a Pregnant Man!
Thomas Beatie is a trans-gender male that is 22 weeks pregnant. Though Thomas is legally a male, he still has female anatomy. He and his legal wife, Nancy, are expecting and I’m sure they’re thrilled, though it must be such a strange sight! The latest issue of Advocate features Beatie’s first-person account on how he came to be pregnant with a baby girl.
“Ten years ago, when Nancy and I became a couple, the idea of us having a child was more dream than plan. I always wanted to have children. However, due to severe endometriosis 20 years ago, Nancy had to undergo a hysterectomy and is unable to carry a child. But after the success of our custom screen-printing business and a move from Hawaii to the Pacific Northwest two years ago, the timing finally seemed right. I stopped taking my bimonthly testosterone injections. It had been roughly eight years since I had my last menstrual cycle, so this wasn’t a decision that I took lightly. My body regulated itself after about four months, and I didn’t have to take any exogenous estrogen, progesterone, or fertility drugs to aid my pregnancy.”
One year and many doctors later, Thomas got pregnant with triplets, but the pregnancy was ectopic. He eventually lost his embryos and his right fallopian tube. His second pregnancy has been a success and he’s due on July 3, 2008.
He said that not many people in their community know about his pregnancy. He said they have “begun experiencing opposition from people who are upset by our situation. Doctors have discriminated against us, turning us away due to their religious beliefs. Health care professionals have refused to call me by a male pronoun or recognize Nancy as my wife. Receptionists have laughed at us. Friends and family have been unsupportive; most of Nancy’s family doesn’t even know I’m transgender.”

To Ishii: Yes, which is why I wrote exactly that in the first sentence. Do you people even read the articles? Just curious.
Why didnt you just stay a gay female in a same sex relantionship, to go almost the whole way, to become a male , however still have wife/girlfriend, still makes you gay ! people and family would have been more receptive to this, rather the way you have gone about it.
Because, that would have made for one hell of a long title!
