This is one fertile dude


Thomas Beatie is preggers. Again.


He was born a woman but was, eh hem, 'reassigned' surgically. From what I understand this reassignment consisted only of a double mastectomy as his ovaries and uterus are still clearly intact, fired up and ready to roll. I guess the major part of his reassignment were the legal implications more than anything, as all of his official documents identify him as a man. His wife Nancy is infertile, so he had to be the 'carrier', and after giving birth in July to a daughter, he did not resume his male hormone treatment and underwent a successful artificial insemination, as he is now in his second trimester with baby #2.

I am sorry, but he's not a man. Men have pee-pees and prostates and egos and Adams Apples, and don't complain about cramps, bloating and irritability. I am happy he and Nancy who are in love and committed to each other can be and are legally acknowledged as man and wife, but, HE is not pregnant. The SHE part of him is pregnant. So confusing.....
