Man Claims He's Pregnant

A transgender man in Oregon says he is five months pregnant.

Thomas Beatie says he started the process of becoming a man ten years ago, but kept his female reproductive organs.

I thinks it's really gas, bloating , he/she needs to really let one go.

[Yeah Right]

Looks like too much watermelon to me.

[DC tells it like it is]

Oh boy...
Whatever!

[Saranacotter]

a person who has a female reproductive system is a female regardless of what the outside package looks like. She is a bearded Lady who is pregnant - nothing more.

eewwww this just does not look right

[socccergirl3]

thats just creepy

Wouldn't all of the testosterone injections keep her from getting pregnant?

[jjrg7]

Well if he kept his female reporoductive organs he is still female. So really its no big feat. Now, if he had the operation to attach Mr. Winky and then got himself pregnant, THAT WOULD BE A STORY!!!

[jamie]

THATS CRAZY!!!
THEN WHY DIDN'T SHE OR HE HAVE A PERIOD?
IF THATS TRUE WHY NO PERIOD IF HE KEPT GIRL PARTS THEN HE WOULD OF HAD A PERIOD!!!

[Look People]

Ok-who got he she it preggers---he/she has a wife or did i miss something in the story--got a little sick and had to stop reading.

IF HE KEPT GIRL PARTS THEN WHY DIDN'T SHE HE HAVE A PERIOD?
IF YOU ARE A WOMEN THEN YOU HAVE THEM!!!
DON'T THINK IT'S TRUE

[j-dog]

If he is poor child,what an interesting life he or she will have.

The video mentions him having a sex change operation but keeping his female reproductive organs. I guess I don't understand the procedure, since I thought they removed the female organs/ took hormones which would make having a child impossible.

[question]

so hes a woman on the inside...does he have a penis???? Would it be a C-section delivery????????dont know how that one would work

No, his testosterone injections won't stop him from getting pregnant as long as it is all out of his system before getting pregnant. He has quit the hormones so the parts he was never supposed to have would start working again.

A cardinal rule of respect is to ALWAYS refer to a person the way they want to be called.

He got pregnant due to artificial insemination using donated sperm.

[white hair]

If he/she has female partsleft and male parts then he/she had to become pregnant by another male???Sounds like pretty mixed up.What kind of baby would it be,another he/she///?????

[Acey]

It's like a seahorse...

you know, how the males carry the kid....

Well, i think it's cute when you look at it like that.

Hmmm, maybe not so much.

[Realrocker]

I hope all goes well for them and their baby.

For the man who was wrongly born with female parts, there are 4 parts to it. First there is hormones, and he has clearly taken those. Then there is breast removal, and he has had that. But keep in mind that not all FtM transsexuals have their reproductive organs removed or a penis constructed. He might someday get the complete hysterectomy, and he might even get the phalloplasty.

As for the phalloplasty, that is something that a lot of FTMs won't do due to the risk and expense. That sort of transition costs about the 10 times the cost of the penile inversion procedure to get a vagina. So having to pay a quarter of a million dollars and to be left with a disfigured and less functional left arm (hey, the tissue and veins have to come from somewhere). Even then, it might not look like the exact thing that guys have down there.
