“Pregnant man” Thomas Beatie has another bun in the oven, just four months after the transgender male gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Though he’s legally a male, Beatie kept his natural female sex organs and has stayed off testosterone pills since the birth so that he could have another child, he tells ABC News.
“We are a man, woman, and child. It’s ironic that we are so different but yet, we’re just a family, just the same as anyone else,” Beatie and his wife, Nancy, told Barbara Walters. ABC airs a special tomorrow night about the media frenzy that ensued after the couple’s first pregnancy, and how it challenged traditional framing of sex and gender.
