Pregnant.....MAN!

Pregnant man on Oprah: "This is a miracle"

Friday, April 04, 2008

By Gary Fennelly

A US man who is six months pregnant has spoken out on The Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday, calling his pregnancy a "miracle."

Thomas Beatie's sex change operation 10 years ago did not affect his reproductive system. He appeared on the show with his wife Nancy. She claims to have inseminated him using sperm from an anonymous donor. Their doctor says it is a normal pregnancy.

He said his pregnancy was a "human desire" and that he is "a person and I have the right to have my own biological child."

Mr Beatie told chat show host Oprah Winfrey he had always wanted a child. He explained that his wife was unable to get pregnant because she had a hysterectomy.

�I see pregnancy as a process and it doesn�t define who I am. �Ironically, being pregnant doesn�t make me feel any more female or feminine. It doesn't make me want to go and shave my legs or something. I'm a man, I just happen to be a pregnant man.

"It's not a male or female desire to have a child," he said. "It's a human desire. I have a very stable male identity."

"I opted not to do anything with my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day. I didn't know how. It was just a dream."

Viewers in the US on saw footage of Mr Beatie's ultrasound scan and heard a heartbeat.

4/22/2008 9:45:33 PM From: eddo ^^I'm lost too... If he used to be a she, and still has all of her reproductive organs, then what exactly is the miracle? oh, and Oprah is the anti-christ.


4/23/2008 3:17:47 AM From: mercury are you on that bandwagon, eddo? no miracle as far as I can tell... but it's still odd to see.


4/23/2008 6:50:26 AM From: emkay64 She had a sex change to become a man, but left the reprductive organs in tact so he/she could have a child later in life. What's so confusing?


4/23/2008 8:47:25 AM From: Feckless Wench OK, I'm confused...just HOW much of a sex change did this person have...I mean, does it have male 'dangly bits'? Will the child have the be delivered by caesarean?


4/23/2008 8:50:07 AM From: emkay64 ^^^Yes...and yes.


4/23/2008 8:58:42 AM From: PapaBryant He stopped the operation halfway through, Feck. The only reason he, uhh, err, she... did this was she was having trouble getting dates on Saturday night. She thought this would increase the chances of her getting laid.


4/23/2008 8:59:27 AM From: PapaBryant Does anyone here think she, uhh, he... looks like Leonardo DeCaprio?


4/23/2008 9:02:31 AM From: emkay64 No...but he looks like a feminine Phreak.


4/23/2008 9:36:48 AM From: eddo Prolly just an excuse to stop shavign his/her armpits.


4/23/2008 1:33:00 PM From: Ali Some people just have to have it all. Greedy bastards.


4/23/2008 2:45:43 PM From: timesjoke No amount of surgery can make this woman a man. She can make cosmetic changes, even drastic ones but she is forever a woman. I still like the old days when women only changed their hair color or makup but still this is no different than that.


4/25/2008 8:09:38 PM From: Rani Just goes to prove, no matter what you call yourself, if you want to have a baby, you still need a womb, it isn't the man that is pregnant, it is the woman in the man, who is pregnant.
