Pregnant man on Oprah: "This is a miracle"
Friday, April 04, 2008

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 intimacy 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 spermatozoa 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.

"It" is a female who stopped taking her hormonal treatment for 3 years so "she" can conceive a baby with her "female" partner who could not have any other children. Kept all her "female" parts and only grew an enlarged focal place, large enough for penetration.  This transgendered inseminated herself with a "turkey" baster and got pregnant after a failed IVF cycle with "it's" reproductive specialist. 

Not a "real" man so to speak. 

False hope for the real "male" gender!

Which kind "false hope"? Which man ever wants to get pregnant apart from people with serious psychological issues? You think we want to walking around with a protruded belly for close to 9months?Hell no!!

You all have been wishing to have periods and get pregnant for many years now.  Sorry, you will have to try harder to catch up with us.  Certain privileges are only reserved for the "chosen, selected few"! Cheesy

when first heard of this story i thought it was really a man  Shocked
but as almondjoy pointed out, its a woman who had a intimacy change, but still kept the reproductive organs. . . . she looks like a man though.
what is sad that when she was a woman, she was verry pretty. . . .  what a waste

Na wa ooooooooo what is so special about this transgendered getting pregnant, people are just making unnecessary noise over nothing.

But what I don't understand is what will they tell the baby after he/she is born, that the father is actually the woman that gave bith to him/her, the baby is going to be affected mentally, physical, and emotional  Grin Grin Grin Grin poor child

are you sure about that? Lips sealed. Most Nigerian males bellies from 30+ can be mistaken for 6 months pregnancy Grin. There was a guy that a waitress had to ask a guy "when is the baby due" Cheesy.

I have a mental picture of you and sure you will really look "sexy" with you protruding "belly". Please volunteer for a pioneering research so that this time, a baby rather than akpu or swallow will be in your tummy. Maybe you Will appreciate women more Tongue

@Topic,

While i am for liberalism , some things are just morally wrong. A doctor actually oversaw this whole process. The female in question is selfish and attention seeking. You don't decide to change your intimacy and change your mind to have a baby. She already had a womb. No amount of hormonal injections can change that. He is genetically a FEMALE and will always be. You can't always have it all. I thought freaks had been banned from the circus show Undecided

Am sure the baby would understand perfectly well when she grows up and even boast about it to her friends in school. It is only in a country like Nigeria that people are shocked, amazed and gossip about things like that. intimacy change is quite common here in UK.

I don't think so, how sure are you that the baby isn't going to have a psychological problem.
You have no idea how much damaged this will be in the future

Nationality has nothing to do with been shock, because the so called transgendered is a female who is able to conceive

If intimacy change is "quite common in uk", why hasn't a person who had a intimacy change from a male to female been able to conceive yet

going by God's design, women have wombs and so can get pregnant and give birth to children. . .

this person was created a woman by God himself untill she decided to grow beards and muscles so as to look like a man. . .

now she is pregnant. . . which is no big deal cos he's a woman!

so where is the miracle??  Huh Angry

can't  see any oh. . .

as for the she-man, she is so confused. . . no matter what she does, before God her creator, she remains a woman. .

before her parents who gave birth to her, she remains a woman. . .

before her own self, i mean deep inside her, she remains a woman. . . but one who is so so so confused. . .
