When Thomas Beatie came out and told the world that he was pregnant everyone thought it was a hoax but this is not the case in fact it is true.
Tonight Thomas and his wife Nancy will appear on Oprah Winfrey’s chat show to show off his baby bump and announce that they are in fact expecting a baby girl in July. Although Thomas has legally become a man after having a sex change he decided to keep his female reproductive organs and doctors have confirmed that Thomas is in fact pregnant.
Nancy was unable to conceive because of a hysterectomy she had after an illness so Thomas decided to be the one who had the child. Its said that he used a sperm donor to get pregnant using a home insemination kit.
Thomas said that “Wanting a biological child is neither a male nor a female desire, but a human desire”.
Will you be watching the show tonight?

I think this is absolutely amazing. It’s refreshing to see someone be so open and unafraid and so comfortable with their own gender. Gender and sexuality are such fluid things, based on the individual, not what they look like, how they act or what they’re made of. I hope our society continues to push the envelope of our man made restrictions in the hopes of finding a better place to live, for all people. And hopefully we can all find tolerance even if we don’t understand.
I think this is sick! They both need help! I feel sorry for the baby girl. Who will be so confused as she gets older. I totally agree with Sylvia Rivera, God created woman and man. God made you who you are! I think people are just sick in their minds when it comes to things like this. Dont know what this world is coming to, but its SAD!
When you are pregnant, you are neither male or female at that point. That is a published medical fact based on the hormones going through your body. The baby which will be born to these two lovely people will know what true love in a relationship is and that it consists of all types of compromise and sacrafice. I personally, am thrilled for this couple. By the way, I am heterosexual, married with 3 grown heteosexual boys and a loving husband of 30 years.
Ok so if try to look like a man and get knocked up will i get into the Oprah show as well?! That’s pathetic, honestly anyone can be him, its nothing special but the fact that he was a SHE at one point its not a man having a baby therefore defies the whole purpose of the show anyways, which for an Oprah episode is extremely poignant.
Get over it seriously. Lesbians have babies all the time or they adopt, the only difference is this woman looks like a man. Dont worry about them or the problems they will face, worry about your damn self. I am glad they are having this baby so it will give all u stuck up tight ass people something to worry about that has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with you. Congrats Thomas!
Wait so his wife has a dick????
This is a loving couple that when faced with the fact that they wanted children and his wife couldn’t; the courage and love that Thomas has for his wife and soon to be child is undeniable. Society over all has no Idea what Thomas went through physically, mentally and emotional to become a man. Tons of Theropy, Injections of Testosterone, and painful surgery. I can also bet tons of discrimination, to include some form of job loss. People are worried about a person that loves their spouse and bring a child into a loving home. Where is the outrage publicly at babies being born addicted to drugs, or childern subjected daily to abuse. 15 years ago Society said gays and lesbians could not raise children and now it has become a more socially acceptable. Leave these people be, and let them enjoy what every human couple wants.
I think its a blessing from God that they are still able to have a baby and bring a new baby girl into this world. You shouldn’t listen to all the people who have a problem with it because they are just jealous and they just dont have anything better to do. Congratulations on the new baby girl and be happy at the fact that you are able to bring a new life in this world that God created!!!
It doesn’t matter who these two people are or what they look like, as long as they love their child.
Congrats to the couple! You’re truly brave and I admire you.

Is this the end of times? No. Just confused people making the lives of the innocent hell on earth. This is just wrong and down right child abuse. Wendy
