Thought this story was over, didn't you?
Well, "pregnant man" Thomas Beatie is pregnant again.
The "pregant man", Thomas Beatie, today announced to Barbara Walters on The View that he is with child again. His first child, daughter Susan, is now about five months old. Beatie, you'll recall, lives as a post-op transgendered male. He runs a custom print screening business with his wife Tracy of 10 years. The couple got pregnant the first time after being unable to have a child that Tracy could carry. She had a hysterectomy several years back. The average person might say that this would be a good point to look into adoption but
Thomas Beatie decided that since he still had the neccessary parts, why not do it. himself. We all know what happened then. The media went wild and the "pregnant man" was everywhere.
The couple has made a ton of cash from photos and deals with the press but Thomas is quick to point out that this is not about publicity and that he has turned down $2 million in deals. Hmmm...I wonder how much he has made with the deals he said yes to? I have a hunch that it is more than $2 million. And, if he is not looking for fame, why is he announcing baby #2 on The View?
What do we all think about this one (I mean two)?

"It's a long way down on this rollercoaster"
But what I find even phonier about this person is he/she is constantly trying to be on the news.
It bothers me a great deal that the media won't leave this alone. I had to explain to my 8 year old daughter why a man really can't get pregnant and what a sex change operation is! And yeah, those poor kids is right.

This just creeps me out.
I figure live and let live, you know!
I think this should not be a big deal, women have babies all the time. This women just happened to want to be a man. Without giving up everything......isn't liberty and freedom great ..... Who am I or anyone to tell another what is right, or what is wrong for them?
I do feel the situation is being milked for all the $$$ it can be for. But the public wants it and has to pay for what they want.
To each his own.....but please keep it private and don't push it on everybody else with all the media coverage.
to have children. As long as they can provide a loving ,secure home for a child, I don't
necessarily have a huge problem with it. People are always fearful of things that haven't been done before.
