Educate me, Sadie.

"He" has fallopian tubes, produces eggs, has a uterus and a vagina....how is this not a woman? Someone explain it to me. Why is it such a big deal for this birth? Women give birth every day....only difference is the facial hair and not being able to breast feed...oh, and all the media whoring.....

Man or woman.....I feel sorry for how this baby girl is going to grow up....life is hard enough w/out additional baggage....especially this kind of baggage.

It's not just that he refers to himself as a transgendered man--people can call themselves whatever they like. But he has been legally declared a man, because that's what allowed him and his wife to marry. So what I don't get it how he was able to have tha happen, when he never actually had a sex change. Regardless of what you identify as, and what you wish to call yourself--from a biological standpoint, if you've got a vagina and a uterus, you're female.

I hope this couple now decides to drop out of the limelight so that their little girl can have a normal, non-public childhood.

Hell, I refer to myself as the King Of England but that dont make it so. A lesbian couple has a baby. So what.

He refers to himself as a "transgendered man." I don't make the rules, and if HE wants to be referred to as a man, then whatever. Either way, dude had a kid.

Couldn't agree with you more domestic goddess. Part of the thing is, this couple is courting the press and milking it for all it's worth.

This is not really a man...."he" is a woman that has had her breasts removed and now has facial and armpit hair...if I had my boobs removed and grew a beard...it still wouldn't make me a man.....she has all her female reproductive organs including her vagina...so tell me again....how is she a man? So what is the big deal about giving birth...women do it every day.

I wasn't referring to the baby's looks - I'm sure the baby is adorable. I hope they live a happy life.

Are you just trying to make a flip joke or do you really not understand what the situation is with him?　Reproductively he is still a female so the baby could come out just as "pretty" as any other baby comes out.
