Breaking news about the "pregnant man" - did you see this?

Apparently Thomas Beatie had his final gender-reassignment surgery and has now separated from his wife of 9 years, with whom he has three children.

He said, "Like all marriages, we have our ups and downs, and we’re going through a rough patch right now. At the moment, we’re separated."

What do you think of this news? Do you even care? :) If anything I guess this shows how normal their relationship was/is - susceptible to the same struggles as any other couple.

He(and I use this term loosely) still has a uterus so this is not a story of a pregnant man. Is "he" planning to push this baby out of his "penis"? THAT would be BIG news. Having given birth twice,  I would pay for a front row seat to that.

I agree. This is a very confused woman separating from a relationship (not a marriage) with another very confused woman. Poor children.


Quoting Mom2Addison12:

who cares to be honest with you.

i don't think that it's a man. it's still a woman....it can bare children, so it is a woman.

and i call it an it, because that's what it is to be honest.

He's from Hawaii and it's been made into such a big deal here.  So over hearing about it.

Wow, offensive AND ignorant! The magic combo. 


First, "Tranny" is just about as politically correct as "Nigger", be aware. Second, a transvestite is a person who dresses as the opposite sex. It has nothing whatsoever to do with gender or sexual orientation. 


"Quoting MaNdYbEaR2010:

He's a man NOW. He was NOT a pregnant man. He was a pregnant woman in the process of becoming a man. So a pregnant tranny.

Quoting jadedcynic:

He has had his final surgery, he is a man. He has identified as a man this entire time and should be considered as such.

Yo, those folks should stay together!  They have three kids, and they can work things out if they both want to and if nobody's abusive.

Not exactly. A man does not have FEtus carrying capabilities. That is the difference between a male and a FEmale.

wow what a bunch of rude replies here. A lot of people showing disrespect to transgendered people by saying he is not really a man. Yes biologically nothing amazing happened because he still had a uterus thus why he had a baby, but he is still a man, and anyone walking around bad mouthing transgendered people and whatnot deserves a kick in the head, and I would love to give them one. The reason it was news was because he was a man on his license when he had the baby. PERIOD. Screw your beliefs on it.
