Default A Pregnant Man - True or False?
I know that it is April Fool’s Day – but, I promise you, that this is supposed to be a TRUE story! Although, of course, the truth could come out before the end of the day!
There has been some publicity recently in some of the tabloids about a Hawaiian man who claims to be pregnant.
Thomas Beatie is 34 and a transsexual who allegedly retained his female sex organs after changing sex from female to male.
It is reported as being quite possible and, of course, Oprah Winfrey’s snapped him up!



Thomas Beattie - True or Fake?

I wondered if anybody who has seen it believes it but, more importantly, I’d be interested to know if there are any men on here who would be prepared to have a baby if they were physically able to do so?

It's not an April Fool and was reported last week. Nor is it unprecedented - this article gives details of other female-to-male transexuals who have become pregnant.

At least it shows that the tabloids are becoming more accepting of sex-changes if they are actually calling him a man in the reports!

Just because it was reported last week or because it was in the 'Guardian' doesn't mean to say it isn't a hoax!

I already stated that it was reported as possible for him to be pregnant - that isn't under question.
If you read the story, he actually only had his breasts removed, but retained his lower female sexual organs - so, how much of a 'man' is he?

However, the tabloids call him a man because, legally, he IS one.

No! if men had babies they would also have the approriate equipment and also the female mentality.

Now that would be a formidable being to behold

Are you saying that, if men were physically capable of having a baby, that they would automatically have the the 'female mentality' as you put it?

How do you define ' the female mentality' then?

First, I want Frank to tell us what HIS personal definition is - from what he says, he is quite in awe of it.
I could be underestimating myself!
