Whaaa?!?

A transgender Oregon man has come forward in The Advocate magazine claiming that he is some five months pregnant and due to give birth in July. Thomas Beatie writes that he is legally a man who's legally married to his wife Nancy. But although he had surgery to remove his breasts and regularly took testosterone, he didn't have his female reproductive organs removed. He says that his wife had to undergo a hysterectomy and is unable to have a baby, and since they wanted a biological child, he decided to try to get pregnant. Beatie said he stopped taking his testosterone injections, and after about four months his periods had returned and his body regulated itself.

Beatie describes the difficulties they encountered in finding doctors who would help them get pregnant and care for him, saying nine doctors have been involved overall and that it took a year to get access to a sperm bank. Because of their problems with doctors, Beatie says he and his wife choose to carry out the insemination at home. He says the first time he had an ectopic pregnancy with triplets that required surgical intervention. The second time he successfully got pregnant with the child he is carrying now, a complication-free pregnancy with a girl who he says has been found to be healthy. Beatie says he didn't take any hormones or fertility drugs to get pregnant.

In describing his experience, Beatie says, "How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible. Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am. In a technical sense, I see myself as my own surrogate, though my gender identity as male is constant. To Nancy, I am her husband carrying our child."
