The transgender man who made headlines by having a baby earlier this year is again expecting, ABC News reported. Thomas Beatie who is 34 and his wife, Nancy who is 46, welcomed baby girl Susan in June.
Although Beatie was born female, he identified with being male and began the process of changing his sex in 1998. He started testosterone treatment, had his breasts removed and became legally male -- but he did not have surgery on his genitals, and his female reproductive organs remained intact.
The couple, who live in Oregon, wed in 2003. Nancy was unable to have children, so they decided that Thomas would instead. He stopped taking testosterone and started menstruating. After nine doctors refused to give the donor sperm couple, sothey simply bought some on the Internet.
Beatie mentioned that the pregnancy did not make him feel like a woman. "I did not feel maternal or motherly or womanly and pregnant. I felt like Nancy's husband, and I felt like the father of my child," he said. After Susan's birth, Beatie did not resume hormone therapy, in the hopes of having another baby. He was inseminated again two months ago.
If you ask me this is insane, I mean, a transgender man having a baby with a woman who can't reproduce!? it's definetly weird if you ask me. Thoughts?
