"The Pregnant Man" Thomas Beatie Pregnant Once Again

"The Pregnant Man" Thomas Beatie Pregnant Once Again

Here's the back story: So, last spring there was a whole fuss about the “Pregnant Man.” His name is Thomas Beatie and he’s a transgender. He was born Tracy but underwent gender transformation to become Thomas. He’s now married to a woman, Nancy, and he and his wife decided they wanted a kid. There was one hitch, though. Nancy had a hysterectomy. Lucikly, Beatie, who looks like a man, still has his female parts. And so he became the “Pregnant Man,” an international phenomenon.
 

In June, the Beaties welcomed their first child, daughter Susan. Since then, the Beaties have laid low in Oregon. Until now. In an exclusive interview with Barbara Walters, Thomas reveals that he is pregnant again!
 

After Susan’s birth, Thomas didn’t go back on testosterone so that he could have another baby and now that baby is due June 12.
 

Don’t worry, though. Thomas and Nancy insist they are a normal family, with a mom, dad and children. And their children, they say, will understand the situation from the beginning. ABC reports:

The Beaties are already telling Susan about the unusual circumstances of her birth. Thomas Beatie reads his daughter, whom he calls "Sweetpea," the Eric Carle book "Mr. Seahorse," a children's picture book that shows how male sea horses carry their offspring. "And I point to the picture at the end of the book where Mr. Seahorse has his babies and say, 'this is what I did with you, Sweetpea, and you're just that one special sea horse.'"

"I just wish that people could be more tolerant to different types of families," Nancy Beatie said. "And I want them to know that we love each other, and we're going to love this baby."

It may be somewhat twisted… but it’s cute. Right?

the Beaties are a beacon of hope for humanity. Love comes in all shapes and sizes. Better for that baby to be loved by an unusual pair than alcoholic/abusive/racist traditional parents Posted 11/13/2008 1:58 PMReply

This is a story about a confused lesbian who after taking the outward persona of a male allows her maternal instincts to resurface and totally confuse her personal relationship. I just wonder if Beaties would have ever considered a partner who was a transgender male? The answer is most likely no due to the fact that lesbians don't want a male as a partner.

This case is pathological to a large degree.

I don't care what you people say. It's a beautiful relationship they have, and we should just butt out. Not every family is normal. Just deal with it folks. Posted 11/14/2008 8:42 PMReply

I don't think there's any biology to human beings giving birth to pigs. WHy do people jump to such off conclusions? Like, man giving birth=pedophilia! No reasonable basis.

Anyway, good for them.

In a world FULL of Hate - I cannot believe that it is now being spread over the birth of a child. EVERYONE has the right to bear children and give them love. The people here that are spreading hate - maybe someone should have stopped their parents from giving birth! My advice - put your energy into spreading positive around the world. I learned many years ago - "be careful of who's rights you are trying to take away - because the next right being taken away may be yours!. Carma my friends - they are hurting no one - leave them be. I feel sorry for anyone wasting air on spreading this hatred! Go in peace! Posted 11/15/2008 01:32 AMReply

Who are we to tell these people what they should or shouldn't do. The world already tells them they can't get married as woman to woman or man to man they never ask for the media circus it was what americans crave, stories like this and that is what makes news media seek it out and find it and will destroy anyone that gets in the way of it to bring it to you and make money on them. I always ask myself in a situation like this what if this happened in my family? What if this was one of my children? If I can answer I would still love them and stand by them who am I to judge them. Good luck with that second baby I wish them well.
