Transgendered Man is Pregnant

[NYCe]

Thomas Beattie lives in Oregon and is married to a woman named Nancy. He's pregnant.

To our neighbors, my wife, Nancy, and I don’t appear in the least unusual. To those in the quiet Oregon community where we live, we are viewed just as we are -- a happy couple deeply in love. Our desire to work hard, buy our first home, and start a family was nothing out of the ordinary. That is, until we decided that I would carry our child.

I am transgender, legally male, and legally married to Nancy. Unlike those in same-sex marriages, domestic partnerships, or civil unions, Nancy and I are afforded the more than 1,100 federal rights of marriage. Sterilization is not a requirement for sex reassignment, so I decided to have chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy but kept my reproductive rights. Wanting to have a biological child is neither a male nor female desire, but a human desire.

I have absolutely no problem with two consenting adults doing pretty much anything with each other but have reservations about this.

Bringing a child into the world is probably the most important decision a couple can make - whatever the "parents" sexual classifications.

These parents may well be loving and well intentioned, but how will the child make sense of his/her birth arrangement. It sounds quite a selfish decision by the parents - but that could be said of any pregnancy.

This is so complex. Just doesn't sit right with me - but maybe I'm being too resistant to change. Be interested to know what others think.

Countless lesbian and gay couples have children either through natural
procreation methods, surrogate, artificial insemination, adooption, foster
care or other means.

The same is true of couples where one is transsexual, there are a quite a
few transwomen and transmen that have children. This doesn't set a
precedent.

Thus if the child is raised in a loving and nuturing home, I am
unequivocally in suport of it.

Hopefully this persons body is still capable of carrying out an entire pregnancy.
As far as I'm aware, doctors do not recommend doing this. Hopefully this guy and his baby turn out ok.

I'm sure the baby will be fine. Ttransmen tend to pass so well. I doubt that this kid will know anything is up until he/she is 15. So mentally nothing bad could happen.

[TheMan]

Am I just crazy, I thought only women could be pregnant... I'm so confused. Is it possible for a man to be pregnant or is this just an april fools joke.

I'm so cross-eyed right now...

If someone could explain to me how this works, I'd really appreciate it.

EDIT: Wait is this a Female to Male transsexual. This would make a lot more sense.

Yea! The fact that it doesn't sit well with you means you give thought to the rights of the unborn. Wow! All is not lost. So many people have kids for their own selfish reasons, and don't care that the child doesn't have a vote in the situation. Before everyone gets all bent, smokers, alcoholics, drug users, athletes, prostitutes, strippers all do the same thing. Just want a kid, never wondering if the kid would want to be born in the situation, if it had a vote. Personally I see it all as a digression of society--- couples using indiscriminant sperm, sperm from men they hate or don't even know, simply because THEY WANT TO GET PREGNANT! There are more feelings involved in a birth than the parents. We all define right and wrong differently, but good grief, when do we stop accepting EVERYTHING?!

Yeah. I am all for people raising families but this just makes me go WTF???

If you want a family great but is this persons body still capable of carrying a child?
