Yes, believe the rumors if you have heard them. The first baby to be born from a MALE will happen this summer!!! Thomas Beatie, a legal transgendered man and his wife Nancy are expecting their first child July 3, 2008. They are legally married and if you didn't know he was transgendered, you most likely wouldn't think he was ever a female. However, when the couple decided to have a baby, Nancy, who had a hysterectomy, couldn't have children and so I'm assuming they took the next logical step- HE would have the baby!! What a role reversal! All he had to do was stop taking his testosterone injections and wham, got knocked up. Yes, it is VERY VERY strange to see a pregnant male, but wow, what if this was really possibly and men and women could pick and choose who would carry the baby? Although Beatie is a legal male, he did not change his sex organs, making the delivery possible..Yes, this story will raise eyebrows but you have to remember than an innocent baby is about to be born with no clue what kind of history she is going to make. (Yes, it's a girl). Though the couple denies thinking this situation is weird, COME ON! They must have known this would be national news when they decided this! Also, I'm assuming they used a sperm donation so I wonder what the medical office that administered this said when he walked in and asked for sperm... SO many questions, which I'm such will be answered very soon. I will be very interested to see the follow up of this family after the birth, for I'm assuming they will receive much media coverage..
