Pregnant ManThomas Beatie, who was born a woman but lives as a man in Oregon after surgery and hormone treatment, is expecting a second child, Beatie has told Barbara Walters in an interview set to air on television on Friday.
Beatie, 34, who is legally a man but kept female reproductive organs when he had a sex-change operation 10 years ago, is in his first trimester of pregnancy, he told celebrity interviewer Walters for the ABC news program "20/20" that will air on November 14. Walters highlighted the interview on her daytime chat show, "The View," on Thursday.
With his thin beard, Beatie made headlines around the world and was dubbed the "pregnant man" before giving birth to a baby girl on June 29. He told Walters that after giving birth he did not go back on the male hormone testosterone that he took after his sex change, because he wanted to have another baby.
"I feel good," Beatie told Walters. "I had my checkups with my hormone level, as far as the hCG. And everything is right on track."
Beatie was referring to human chorionic gonadotropin, a hormone which is produced in women during pregnancy.
He said that the new baby is due on June 12.

As a witch working with nature Raymond i feel you need not even ask the question.

True, Mr. Hobbs but it's called 'Debate'.

Oh right
The sight disgusts me but frankly I have not walked a mile in his shoes.

wtf???
SHE wanted to become a HE. Ok, I can sit with that. I'm comfortable with the idea of transsexualism.
But I think if a person wants to change their sex then they should go all the way, not stop somewhere in between.
The picture above is disgusting. Absolutely revolting.
This all goes back to the idea of when does a permissive society become a free for all?

Perhaps nature is changing Raymond.
We are nature and I assume evolving.
Perhaps this is evolution.
What better survival strategy than both sexes ABLE TO CONCEIVE?
I have been taught lessons about judgement in life but OK it still disgusts me and I also find it incredibly self indulgent
I wonder how much counciling the child will need latter in life and I hope if it's a boy that he knows how to fight.

That's the whole point I'm afraid Mr. Hobbs, we aren't judgemental enough.
It's all this bleeding heart libralism that is causing all the problems, and now children are dying because of it.
Take Baby P for example. Social services knew the mother was a drug addict yet still they tried to keep the family together. They knew she was a prostitute, yet still they tried to keep the family together.
If a mother is on drugs or on the game then her children should be taken away, no messing about.
That other kid who went missing, Shannon. One look at her mother and you could see she was unfit to look after a goldfish never mind a child.
We have got to start being MORE judgemental of people.

I was under the impression that when one had a sex change there were loads of things they went through including losing the sex organs of the sex they are changing from... so being legally a man was not true in the first place l.... It appears to me this person wasn't' the best candidate for a sex change in the first place if she then wanted to still have her own children
I wonder if the beard and than will go if the hormones are not continued.. Raymond does it say she want to continue as a male or female now... because basically she is now both and either
such a strange situation what will the children think????

the Evenk of Siberia (that's johnny foriegner according to raymondo)believe that there are 19 sexes......
so i guess some people can accept any combination.
unlike some people i know!

I'm not entirely sure EG. I would imagine she is still a SHE. She happens to be a woman with a beard and no boobies, but everything else is obviously a fully functioning woman.
Talk about a freak show. I bet she was an ugly woman.

Hey Raymond, i'm agreeing with you on this one, it's wrong, very very very wrong MEN don't have kids (unless you're a type of sea-horse) . It's just not right

It's good to hear people of the younger generations are still capable of common sense.

but this is not a man.....

Raymond

Yes but, 'she' is trying to give the impression of being one.

Is that a compliment Raymond?
Gotta admit i'm both shocked and slightly amused

Of course it's a compliment. Somebody of your age has been put well and truly through the socialist experiment we call education and it's nice to hear you've pulled through it with your common sense intact.

and Waffle is most like thought of as out spoken.... I think you have a good grasp of common sense as well as a great intellect Waffle

Agreed, which you have to admit, both qualities seem to be sorely lacking in a lot of under 25's these days.

Raymond, i left school at the age of 11 i've got a Year 7 education. no GCSE etc etc etc, so hardly put through the education mill.
But thank you all the same, and to you Evergreen

Even better then
You have not been brainwashed.
That must be why your thought process is a little sharper than most.
Oh, Waff
Raymond is far to long in the tooth to undersand contemporary hero's names etc.
Just humour him and talk about Flash Gordon and Superman.
He's out getting a picci for his new bus pass this morning and it's all a bit much for him these days.

Well, If I'm old I can only wonder what that makes you Hobbsy.
