    Pregnant Man !!!!

    Pregnant man tells Oprah: It's a miracle


    Friday Apr 4 09:37 AEDT
    A transgender man who is six months pregnant said in an interview aired by Oprah Winfrey that he always wanted to have a child and considers it a miracle.
    "It's not a male or female desire to have a child. It's a human desire," a thinly bearded Thomas Beatie said.
    "I have a very stable male identity," he added, saying that pregnancy neither defines him nor makes him feel feminine.
    Beatie, 34, who lives in Oregon, was born a woman but decided to become a man 10 years ago. He began taking testosterone treatments and had breast surgery to remove glands and flatten his chest.

    "I opted not to do anything with my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day," he told the talk show host.
    Beatie's wife Nancy said she inseminated him with a syringe using sperm purchased from a bank.
    Now, he said, his size 32 jeans are getting a bit tight and his shirts are a bit stretched.
    Nancy, to whom he has been married for five years and who has two grown daughters by a previous marriage, also appeared on the show, saying the couple's roles will not change once the baby is born.
    "He's going to be the father and I'm going to be the mother," she said. Their marriage is legal and he is recognized under state law as a man.
    The couple was shown on video provided by People magazine, which collaborated with Winfrey on the show, showing the room that will be the baby's nursery. Beatie said the little girl was going to be "daddy's little princess."
    The couple was also filmed in their hometown of Bend, Oregon, where he underwent an ultrasound showing the baby in his womb.
    "I can't believe it. I can't believe she's inside me," Beatie said while watching the ultrasound image. "We see her as our little miracle."
    His obstetrician, Dr. Kimberly James, who practices in the Oregon town, told Winfrey, "This is a normal pregnancy."
    She said Beatie stopped taking testosterone two years ago and his levels of the hormone are normal.
    "This baby is totally healthy," she said. "This is what I consider a normal pregnancy."
    The couple said they had been turned down by a number of other doctors before James agreed to take him as a patient.
    The couple said an earlier attempt at pregnancy failed when he developed a tubal pregnancy, resulting in surgery that removed his Fallopian tubes.
    The couple said they decided to go public with the pregnancy because they wanted to control the way the news got out.
    "We're just going to have the baby now," Nancy said. "If we have to, we'll go hide."
    The couple runs a small business in Bend and has some savings, she said. In addition, Beatie is working on a book about his childhood, his mother's suicide and his life growing in Hawaii where, as a girl, he was a teen beauty pageant contestant and earned a martial arts black belt.
    Winfrey called the development "a new definition of what diversity means for everybody."

    World's first pregnant man and wife may flee


    Friday Apr 4 12:00 AEDT
    By ninemsn staff and wires
    The "world's first pregnant man" and his wife say they may have to go into hiding to avoid a violent conservative reaction to their baby.
    Transgender man Thomas Beatie and his wife Nancy appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and discussed the pregnancy at length, including the method of conception.
    Mr Beatie, 34, was born a woman but switched sexes 10 years go by taking testosterone and undergoing surgery to remove his breasts.
    He was legally recognised as a man in his home state of Oregon, although he still has female organs.
    "I opted not do anything with my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child," Mr Beatie told Winfrey.
    When asked by the talk show host how they planned to deal with media "hound-dogs outside your door step", Mrs Beatie said they would go into hiding if necessary.
    "We just want to have the baby now and we've let people know our story our way … we're not going to obviously be able to keep our business running but it's something that we knew would possibly happen."
    Nancy Beatie said she had inseminated her husband, who is now six months pregnant, at home by using a veterinary syringe with donor sperm.
    Amber, Mrs Nancy’s adult daughter from a previous marriage, said she was scared about the couple going public with their news.
    "It's a little scary, we're scared for them," she said.
    "I don't know that the world is all that prepared but we're just regular born people and a regular family."
    Mrs Beatie insisted that the couple's roles would not change after birth and that she would be the mother and Mr Beatie would be the father to the child.
    "When I look at him he gets bigger everyday, it doesn't change how I feel about him being my husband."
    "It's so wonderful, I bet a lot of women would like to have their husband's pregnant," she said.
    Mr Beatie said he thought "different was normal", when Winfrey asked if the pair thought the world was ready for a man to have a baby.
    "Love makes a family, that's all that matters," he said to applause.
    The couple's obstetrician Dr Kimberly James, who accepted them after they were turned down by other doctors, said the pregnancy was normal and that Mr Beatie stopped taking testosterone two years ago.

    Bend is becoming a fair size town anymore, but the people surrounding it and the people from that area, not the new immigrants that have migrated there because of the nice area and new jobs there, are very traditional and will not put up with that shit.
    To them they are not a man and a woman, but are a couple of queers and that one will never be a man, you have got to realize that they are surrounded by Ranching and farming or logging people that just will not accept such bullshit as that.
    That area is all small towns that are a good days horse travel apart, say 15 to 18 miles, and no large towns, Bend is the largest..

    So what we have here is basically a woman dressing as a man becoming pregnant. So what?

    If I put on a skirt and some makeup and impregnated my wife (again) would I then be able to get my 15 minutes of fame on Oprah?
