They assumed if you were a transsexual you had to be straight. Now it seems if you are trans, you MUST want to sterilise yourself and hate your reproductive organs. If you don't, or worse still if you use your reproductive organs to reproduce, you must be a fake sort of transsexual. You must be the kind that is really whichever gender you left behind. We're given one life. A trans person who wants to be a parent is sometimes left with that choice -- do I use what I was given or not have a biological child? How many people have to make that choice? Thomas Beatie is a he and a man because he knows he is. You don't get to tell him that. He had a baby himself because that's the choice he had open to him and his partner.

It's odd, but I can't judge the couple. Hope the baby is ok.

We all know that, strictly speaking, that is impossible, and this does not make it so. Strictly speaking, this is not a man giving birth. As far as transsexual goes, Beatie was part man and part woman. The "man" part of him did not give birth to the child, the "woman" part did. The only way that this could be considered a breakthrough is if s/he had had all female parts removed (reproductive included) and then gotten pregnant. Maybe.

This person is clearly not a man! She was born female, and still had her female reproductive organs. Why is this so remarkable to so many people? Women give birth every day. This is not a medical miracle. Show me a man who was born biologically male, with XY chromosomes, that gives birth...THEN it will be impressive. Why do they keep saying it is a man who gave birth?

On the one hand, you've got people saying 'a loving family is all that matters, everyone gets teased, ect'. On the other hand, we're criminalizing schoolyard bullying, and what's the first thing that comes out of someone's mouth when a school shooting happens? 'He was picked on'! Obviously folks, it IS a big deal when kids take ungodly amounts of shit. Yes, all kids will get picked on. So if even 'normal' children are getting picked on a lot, what do you think they're gonna do to this kid? I love comments like "The only way that kid’s life could be a living hell is to have to deal with a bunch of back woods ignorant jack-asses." Really? How full of shit does one have to be before they believe something like that? Eye level? 35 states have passed anti-gay marriage legislation in the last few years. That's what, 70-80% of the states? This is just GAY MARRIAGE that people aren't ready for, what the hell do you think the average person thinks about this kind of mess? You can hate it all you want, but I've never seen a national poll about gay marriage that had above a 30-something percent approval rating - we are just not there yet in this country. Trying to force things like this down our throats and calling us bigots because we don't support it, isn't going to help aid the cause.

I'm tired of the whole "oh, they shouldn't have kids because they'll get teased by the other children" thing, which has been directed at children of interracial, GLBT parents and whatever else. Kids will tease other kids. Sometimes for things that can be controlled, sometimes not. They will get over it if they have a loving family life and if they are taught that everyone is a person of value. Grown people should not be so terrified of the threats of gradeschoolers.

Also, well spoken, Texasmom. I hope that in 40 years' time we look back on today as the 'bad old days'. When a child is loved and cherished, that's all that is important. Goodness knows every day I see children from heterosexual partnerships who are messed because of their parents. It's down to the personality and behaviour of the parent. Not the gender. Clearly a lot of people are unwilling to find out more about transgenderism. :?: Congratulations to the family for a healthy baby being born!

She may look like a man but she's still a woman biologically through and through. This story gets credence because of Oprah.
