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.

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

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

The media is not interested in what is correct.
