VIDEO: Pregnant Man Thomas Beatie Might Have More Children

Posted by Karen

 

You know, I'm all live and let live on most things, and this transgendered guy (he was born a woman) looks as though he will love and take care of his daughter better than many parents, but there's something bugging me about the whole thing.  Thomas Beatie is about a month away from giving birth to his baby daughter and here's what he has to say to the world: 

"I'm 36 weeks now and almost due but I feel fantastic. Every day Nancy and I think about how we just cannot wait to hold our daughter for the first time, to finally get to touch her and see her face. We have her nursery ready and her diapers are lined up in her bedroom. Everything is ready to go. We have even picked a name which we both love—although we're waiting until she is born before we tell anyone. All the people who really know us and love us, our friends and family, have been incredibly supportive. So much so we might even have more children. We will just see what the experience is like with our daughter's arrival first and then give it some thought."

I still don't get why he's considered a "man" when he still has all of his girl parts.

regardless if you think the whole thing is wrong or not, its happening. thats just a fact. the child will be fine as long as people just leave them alone. theres nothing you can do about it. worry about yourself and your family. no amount of hateful words are going to change anything for the better.

I cant say i agree with what they're doing, but it was their choice. I wish them the best of luck and hope the baby is healthy, happy, and safe when she comes into the world.

Re: all of the comments above:  I hope you are not teaching your own children to be as closed-minded as you seem to be -- but if you are (or think you are), you should consider the fact that every day people are becoming more accepting of difference, and your children will likely be as embarrassed by your attitudes towards sexuality and gender as many in our generation were by our parents' and grandparents' attitudes about race.

I'm happy for them, but I have to agree with Chyna.
