This has been happening for a long time. Its called transgendered.

I really do not expect to see a trend of transgendered individuals being pregnant though.

Come on Lori, grow a beard and start popping out babies. It's the cool thing to do.

He was on Oprah yesterday with his wife and her two daughters from a previous marriage.

It was actually really interesting because Thomas's story was very different from most transgender folk. He never felt like he was trapped in the wrong body or born the "wrong sex," but it was a different sort of thing that led to his decision to take hormones and live as a man.

Of course, something tells me that most people talking about this around the country and responding to this here didn't watch Oprah or haven't bothered to really find out what these two people are all about, because screaming DUDE IS PREGNANT SICKKKKZKZZZZZZ!!!!! is more effective in the realm of hysterics.

I don't know how I feel about the whole thing, but I'm not inclined to be very worried about it.

I knew this was gonna happen sometime.

Part of our identity as humans is quite clearly
influenced by our sex. So this female takes testosterone.
And then stops taking it and gets inseminated.
This was very well thought out.


Good luck to the kid.
Dad is mom.
What do you tell your kid?

I have a very stable male identity. She/he says
Stable male identity...
What the hell does that mean?

The birds and the bees speech to
this prospective little girl is going to be very
interesting.

My initial reaction is its not gonna
be easy on this kid at all. And that is
not good.

Oprah: "a new definition of what diversity means for everybody."

A new definition of diversity...
Diversity. Thank you Oprah.
There is a species of single celled organisms
that have 14 different sexes within the species.
There are some fairly interesting mating rules within
these organisms. Maybe Oprah should study these
creatures if she is interested in experimenting with
diversity.

Thanks for breaking new ground with me Dad...
You went and did this so I could explain to everyone
what I plan to be. There should be no ill consequences
as long as I have a loving family. errrr....Maybe not.

Love, Your Baby Girl (maybe, I'm not sure since I got
the choice).

Sorry to sound a little old fashioned here but
this little girl has been put in a very difficult
spot. Cant wait till mom(who is female) decides whether
to have a boy or girl.

Lets get the girls together and have an artificial
insemination party, I got these really pretty napkins
for the snacks.

Biology getting ahead of ethical considerations again.
This is not an issue of rights. Its more parental responsibility.
We already have enough trouble with parental responsibility.
I dont like to experiment with the children.

Here's a novel idea.....tell the kid the truth. I doubt they'll mind as long as they're loved.
Sure.
The kid could turn out absolutely fine.
And I posted we already have enough problems with parents.

So why not just make it a little more novel.
Make it a little tougher on the kid.
Thats a good idea.

And they go on Oprah of course and received
no compensation. Perfectly normal. Share
your story. Get it out. Cash call.
Make your kid and family instant celebrities.
Excellent.

I dont get it. Whats wrong with a transgender woman, whos now a man, being pregnant, and giving birth?

Look at it from the kids point of view, its not difficult to explain that your dad birthed you. Where do people get off thinking its a big deal if a kids father gives birth?

Will the dad breastfeed him? Is thats what next, some transgender fruitcake trying to breastfeed their child in public? Then I suppose there will be an outrage from all the liberals when people are offended by it.
