Default This is SO cool, TG man having baby

Thomas Beatie is TG FTM. He underwent bilateral Mastecotomy, was taking testosterone and had for all purposes become what his heart said he was, a male. He did not remove his uterus and ovaries.

He married to a woman how had to have a hysterectomy. She has grown children from a first marriage. She obviously could not carry so instead of finding a carrier/surrogate and the expenses of this, he decided to stop his tetosterone and carry for the couple. He is 6 months pregnant with a healthy baby girl.

Of course, the right wing conservatives are already calling them and the baby 'monsters' , they had docotrs and fertility experts condemn them. It was hard for them to find someone an OBGYN to help them and to purchase sperm from a bank, who also refused.

I happen to feel this is the ultimate unselfish act of love to carry a child even though you have finally become who you are suppost to be. This family has my full support.

Any comments?
