Pregnant Man Gives Birth to Second Child

Share

(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.

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. Reply

At last... something we can agree upon. SHE is NOT a man and no amount of surgery will help. Takes more than a scalpel and drugs. Reply
