(Newser) – "Pregnant man" Thomas Beatie has given birth to a baby girl, ABC News reports. The 34-year-old transgender male gave birth at a hospital in Bend, Ore., sources said. The birth was natural, not by caesarean section as some reports have claimed. "She's really cute, really pretty,'' one source said of the child. Beatie, born a woman, had his breasts removed and legally changed his gender but kept his sex organs.
