An American man who claims he is six months pregnant said it was a "miracle" in his first TV interview.

Thomas Beatie, 34, of Bend, Oregon, used to be a woman before undergoing gender reassignment surgery.

Not that big of a deal, I remember one time back in the 90's the current governor of California got pregnant and had to make a big crappy comedy movie about it. On the other hand, it is depressing that a former "Miss Teen Hawaii" finalist or whatever the article said would turn herself into a man, I mean, at least she could have been ugly first or something, since then maybe it would have been an aesthetic improvement, seeing as how many ugly women are actually guilty of nothing more than "looking manly," so she'd already be halfway there anyway, but alas, twas not the case.

She's not a man, she's a woman with facial hair.

If having a few whiskers makes you a man, 95% of the postmenopausal women in the world should be reclassified as "men".

"Gender reassignment"???????

Who's in charge of this???

What next???

Seriously,...Is this the new terminology?...Or, is this something that you just made up?

Anyway, if he/she (or whatever) wanted to get pregnant, why did he/she change in the first place?...And, who "boffed" him/her?...What was their reassignment?

No - I did not make up the term "gender reassignment". It is the real term used to describe those trans gendered individuals who are changing their sex - from male to female, or female to male.

The poor kid will have to introduce it's Dad as It's Mom. He/She will make a lot of money, I don't understand if she liked women why change to a man, just become a Lesbian because even with a sex change isn't she still a Lesbian?

Thank you for the education...I am behind the times.

I guess these days that if anyone dates someone new they will have to have the new beau checked out by some type of forensic scientist?...Or a biologist?...Or, an anthropologist?....

Thank God I'm "over-the-hill"...I'm safe!

Good luck to all you people dating!!!...Hope you like surprises!
