Oregon Man Is Pregnant. A tale of gender-blurring proportions.
Thomas and Nancy Beatie moved to Oregon from Hawaii a couple years ago. They run a successful business, own a home and are expecting their first child, a girl, in July. And then there’s the rub: Thomas, not Nancy, will be the one delivering the baby.
Thomas’ story ignited across the Web last week after Thomas published an essay on advocate.com. His impending maternity/paternity leave challenges our notions of gender roles and societal norms, and generally induces a bit of head shaking. Wait a minute – the transgender Thomas still has girl parts? Yep. He decided to keep ‘em during his reassignment process years ago and was – clearly – successful in restarting his period after years of female hormone suppression.
Thomas is legally both male and married to Nancy. He certainly looks the part, too, with a flat chest and facial hair, thanks to surgery and testosterone therapy. His six-month baby bump might otherwise pass for a well-fed beer belly, if Thomas weren’t the unabashedly proud father/mother-to-be that he is, even in the face of judgment from the likes of family members and doctors.
Once upon a time, surrogate motherhood and same-sex adoption likely blew away firmly held beliefs about reproduction and family. In the future, when pregnancy news is delivered, will “Who’s carrying?” be a common follow-up question to “When are you due?”

An Oregon man is pregnant according to published reports. The man, called Mr. Beatie, is packing a girl down there which brings back painful memories of the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Junior. Ouch! Talk about a painful memory.
Anyway, back to the dude with a fetus. Turns out if you read the fine print you'll see Mr. Beatie is a post-op so that kinda blows any immaculate conception theory out of the water. Still, that kid will have some interesting stories to tell one day about his Mom/Dad.

An Oregon man is pregnant according to The Advocate; they have said “we have verified the pregnancy with Mr. Beatie’s gynecologist”. The man (Mr. Beatie) is expecting a baby girl around July 3, 2008 and the catch is he used to be a woman but now is a transgender male. Legally Mr. Beatie has changed sex to a male, so that does mean this Oregon man is pregnant…how weird is that?
He married Nancy Beatie legally but because she cannot carry a baby, they decided Mr. Beatie would have the baby because when he changed sex the vagina was kept (the breasts were surgically removed).
He is a Transgender pregnant male, but what do you make of this and do you think keeping a vagina still classes you as a man?
Also see the story of Mr. Lee Mingwei who apparently is the first born male to give birth to a baby from his body.
