(Newser) – Pregnant Man is no one-baby wonder. Thomas Beatie gave birth to his second child this morning, reports ABC News. Beatie, who was born a woman but is now legally a man, catapulted to fame last year when images of his pregnant belly surfaced. Though he's had some surgery toward his gender shift, Beatie has been able to give birth because he kept his female sex organs. Both Beatie and the new baby boy are healthy, and Beatie's wife expects to begin breastfeeding soon.

Agreed. I'm happy this person has another child, but this is a genetic female that has been surgically altered.

Congratulations on the new baby and I hope everybody is happy and healthy, but the fact remains that you're not a pregnant man if you have all female parts. The media has misrepresented this story from the very beginning.

I'm so fucking sick of this story. It's not a man! Men can't have kids, damnit. It's only because some freak thought she could be a dude. I'd like to see this 'man' bust a nut and knock someone else up. Oh wait, that 'man' has eggs. Stupid shit.
