The Transgender Man Born a Woman Was Impregnated by a Sperm Donor

Thomas Beatie, the transgender man who made headlines as the so-called "pregnant man," gave birth Sunday to a healthy baby girl, ABC News has learned.

-snip-

"I actually opted not to do anything to my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day. I see pregnancy as a process and it doesn't define who I am," Beatie told Oprah Winfrey in April.

Then you "see" it wrong, lady.  It exactly defines you.  Just because you say something on The Oprah Winfrey Show doesn't make it gospel. 

If you are a man you wouldn't need a turkey baster.  You could impregnate your "wife" and she could have your baby. 

That's the definition:  You have baby - you woman.

Correct title: Horribly confused woman who lopped off her breasts and took male hormones gives birth.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I give ABC News credit for at least putting 'Pregnant Man' in quotation marks.

I was surprised by that - other places haven't been as technically accurate.

I try to be a very open and accepting person about peoples "sexuality".

But from the moment I first saw a picture of this person I have been filled with utter revoltion.  It is just simply wrong...

Self deluded, suffering from cognative dissonance, this mother is going to make it very difficult for this little baby to grow up "undamaged". A very sad state of affairs.

The media is not interested in what is correct.

The only way this story could be more screwed up is if the baby's "mother" was "Midge Potts."

A pregnant man did not give birth.  A WOMAN gave birth.  Big deal.  The birth was a natural birth.  That means she still has the plumbing to give birth down below, not through Cesarean.  It's a woman.
