Transgendered Man Writes In 'The Advocate'

BEND, Ore. -- An Oregon man is five months pregnant, according to a national magazine.

Video: Man Says He's Pregnant



Thomas Beatie, who used to be a woman, appeared in the most recent issue of The Advocate, a magazine for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender readers, Portland, Ore., television station KPTV reported.

Beatie wrote the article, which includes a picture of him while he was 22 weeks pregnant. According to the story, he went through a sex change, but decided only to have chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy.

Beatie was able to keep the reproductive organs he was born with. The article said he stopped getting the injections and was able to get pregnant.

Beatie, who lives in Bend, wrote he was once pregnant with triplets, but the pregnancy was life-threatening and he lost the fetuses. Now, Beatie said he and his wife, Nancy, are expecting a little girl in July.

In the article, Beatie described some of the challenges he and his wife have faced -- they said doctors won't treat them. The couple met 10 years ago and Nancy is not able to have children.

He wrote in The Advocate that their situation "sparks legal, political and social unknowns."



I used to look somewhat like that. But mine was a bouncing belly of banana splits!

That was on our morning news show.... crazy! Obviously he had some sort of medical assistance to get pregnant, unless his wife is transgendered too! But they probably would have mentioned that.

Bhahhahah! And I'm thinking there won't be a lot of volunteers to rub his feet!

Turkey baster, perhaps?

I had an employee once who was going through a male to female gender change - and interesting time for all in my store.

What makes me scratch my head about this story is that apparently this person can travel back and forth on the gender spectrum. Stop the shots - female organs become functional again - does that make him female once more?

Technically, his wife could take hormones in order to lactate... My sister was offered this when she adopted her son. She declined, it seemed more wrong to her then formula!
