Pregnant man is pregnant again
LOS ANGELES - Thomas Beatie, who was born a woman but lives as a man in Oregon after surgery and hormone treatment, is expecting a second child, Beatie has told Barbara Walters in an interview set to air on television on Friday.
Beatie, 34, who is legally a man, is in his first trimester of pregnancy, he told celebrity interviewer Walters for the ABC news program "20/20" that will air on Nov. 14. Walters highlighted the interview on her daytime chat show, "The View," on Thursday.
With his thin beard, Beatie made headlines around the world and was dubbed the "pregnant man" before giving birth to a baby girl on June 29. He told Walters that after giving birth he did not go back on the male hormone testosterone that he took after his sex change because he wanted to have another baby.
"I feel good," Beatie told Walters. "I had my checkups with my hormone level, as far as the hCG. And everything is right on track."
Beatie was referring to human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone which is produced in women during pregnancy.
He said that the new baby is due on June 12.
Beatie's wife, Nancy, 46, whom he married five years ago, was unable to conceive because of a prior hysterectomy. He has said that is why he had a baby himself, through artificial insemination using donor sperm and Beatie's own egg.
The couple live in Bend, Ore., and have led a quiet life since the birth of their baby girl, Susan.

I think this is one of the weirdest situations possible. I don't understand why someone would have a sex change but not change their junk. A baby coming out of a male isn't right. And I don't get it--is the wife a lesbian? Why would she marry a man with a vagina?

I feel like I'm supposed to be open minded to this because transgenders are part of the LGBT umbrella but at the same time it's just awkward and I guess it's fine if they really wanted to have a baby and (s)he was the only fertile partner, but the fact that they're being such publicity *****s about it makes it annoying

it should stop trying to make money off of its ability to carry a baby even though it is "legally" a man.

the only reason that it seems weird is that people are too narrow-minded and stupid

Yeah, no matter if she's straight or gay, it wouldn't work.

OK, now you're scaring me. You are just as freakish as religious zealots.

not really, nature and god said that a woman is able to have babies, not a man.

^You're a comeback member, so this is new for you, but Desperate Fantast is totally anti-religion. Which is understandable, but he/she takes it to a new extreme. I would leave it at "nature said..."

I have no problem with transgender people, it's just that it makes no sense for a transgender MALE ,a she who wanted to become he to be pregnant .Being pregnant is a chick thing ,not a guy thing. I mean if the wife could not have kids, they could have adopt.

It's funny, you pretend to be so tolerant of all people, but you hate religious people with such a passion. I'm not religious by any means but I don't think they're the worst people either, it is their decision after all. I know exactly what Bobby means now.

Good for them. Freaking unusual anatomy wise, but they are loving parents...

i have no problems with transgenders either, but i think they are psychologically sick because it's very obvious that a man can't be a girl, that's from birth, if you were born gay that's good but you're still being a man and should behave like a male should do it, if you don't want to make babies with a girl because your penis "doesn't get hard" you can masturbate and put your sperms inside a vigina without need to **** if you both agree or you can pay to do this. All gays guys should have babies in my opinion, to reproduce is one of the laws of life, wich are: born, grow, reproduce and die four steps please don't broke one you can fall down.
