What's this
LOS ANGELES (AFP) - A US man who was born a woman before undergoing gender realignment surgery has given birth to a baby girl, US media reported.

Thomas Beatie, who is legally male but decided to keep his female sex organs during chest reconstruction surgery and testosterone therapy, attracted worldwide attention in April after revealing his pregnancy.


The 34-year-old gave birth to a baby girl at a hospital in Bend, Oregon, on June 29, People Magazine reported Thursday.


"The only thing different about me is that I can't breastfeed my baby. But a lot of mothers don't," the magazine quoted him as saying.


It said the girl is Beatie's first child, and he had given birth naturally, not by Caesarean section.


Beatie, who sports a beard, was dubbed the 'pregnant man' after appearing on Oprah Winfrey's television talkshow to discuss his pregnancy.


"I feel it's not a male or female desire to have a child. It's a human need. I'm a person and I have the right to have a biological child," he told the chat show queen.


Beatie's unusual situation first became public when he wrote an article in the leading US gay magazine The Advocate in March, entitled "Labor of Love."


"To our neighbors, my wife, Nancy, and I don't appear in the least unusual," he wrote, explaining that his wife was unable to have a child after undergoing a hysterectomy.


So he chose to become pregnant by artificial insemination, he said.


"Our situation sparks legal, political, and social unknowns," Beatie wrote, adding the couple had experienced opposition from health care professionals, friends and family.


One doctor refused to treat the couple, after consulting an ethics board.


"How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible. Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am," Beatie wrote.

Damn!.......Later,B.

I wonder what it picked for a sperm donor?

She is not a man. She is a woman who altered her body's appearance. She was born a woman and that is what she is regardless of what she does to her body. Its main stream media spinning the story for shock value. I feel bad for the innocent child being born into this situation.

I don't care.

There are real issues to worry about. The War, The Economy, The 2A come to mind.

How would you like to have been born with messed up organs, or what ever it is? Grow up.

Exactly. Well said.

Hmmm, I wonder if She/He/It has any "phucking nutz?" Not that I really want to know...if you know what I mean.

Just another ugly woman wity a beard.

Sickening. The worlds going to hell on roller skates.

"has gone" is the appropriate phrase.

Some of you guys "may" watch the Military Channel like me. On the Weaponology segments, they always have comments from various "military experts".

One of the most frequent is Dr. Aryeh Nusbacher, of the British Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. Every time this expert would appear, I'd mention to my wife that "Something ain't right there!"

Though the magic of Google, I found this interesting little article.

quote:

From the Scotish Daily Mail of May 2006:

A TOP male lecturer at Sandhurst who taught Princes William and Harry has won his own war ? to be a woman.

Officer Cadets returned to the elite military academy for a new term yesterday to find pipe-smoking Dr Aryeh Nusbacher is now Lynette.

Dr Nusbacher, 40 ? already tagged "Mrs Gunfire" ? is believed to have had the sex change op in the past few weeks.

On top of giving her the title of Ma’am, cadets have been ordered to treat her with full respect.

Sandhurst’s Commandant, Major General Peter Pearson, has warned that any jokes or snide remarks by pupils or staff will be severely punished.

The US-born professor, married with a young daughter, is still living with wife Melanie and family in nearby Guildford, Surrey.

A friend of Lynette’s said: She’s a very brave girl.

A stiff upper lip military environment such as Sandhurst is about the hardest place to come out.

As well as teaching at Sandhurst the professor is known to viewers of the BBC2 war game show Time Commanders and History Channel documentaries.

Her wife said yesterday: She does not wish to talk to you about a private matter.

Here's the link to the Sandhurst site explaining that Lynette is on special assignment.

She is not a man. She has never been and will never be a man no matter how much she mutilates her body! Someone needs to remove the infant and place it for adoption with a normal STABLE family. The physician who helped HER become pregnant needs to loose his/her license. This individual needs medication and long term psychiatric care!!!

But then, that's just my opinion. In today's society SHE made the front page of a national magazine to feed the growing need of the populace for the grotesque. How long until our "reality shows" start featuring combat to the death and feeding Christians to the lions!?!?!

I do!

I have revolvers, semi-auto pistols, bolt action rifles from numerous countries, semi-auto rifles from numerous countries, single shot rifles, shotguns and I even have a black powder rifle in there somewhere.

I am very diversified.
