Pregnant man ' Thomas beattie"gives birth to baby girl

The "pregnant man" — gave birth to a baby girl on Friday in Oregon .He checked into the hospital in Bend, Ore. under a fake name after going into labor early Monday morning and his room was sealed off, away from other expectant moms. The baby was delivered by C-section later that day.

Thomas Beatie 34, who was born a woman, had his breasts surgically removed and legally changed his gender from female to male .

Although he took hormones and lived as a man, he said he kept his female sex organs in hopes to get pregnant one day.

"It doesn't make me want to go and shave my legs or something," he told Winfrey. "I'm a man, I just happen to be a pregnant man."

The most important message, said Beatie: "Different is normal and love makes a family. And that's all that matters."

I know this is strange to imagine, but it is possible to be both a man and a woman, depending on the definition.

This man is a transsexual. Contrary to popular myth, that is more than a "woman who had her breasts removed." He identifies as male. His brain tells him he's male. It happens.

Legally, as well, he is male. His driver's license says 'male.' He's also married to a woman in Oregon and, as we have been TIRELESSLY reminded, for the moment, in Oregon, "marriage" is DEFINED as being between a "man and a woman." Therefore, ipso facto, since he is married to a woman he is therefore a man.

He also has an XY genetic pattern, which is indicative of the female, making him woman.

So, he's a man and he's a woman or, as those of us who live in the modern world understand it, "a transsexual," from the Latin "trans" meaning "across" and "sexual" meaning "gender," hence "across genders."
