Not the usual




I am sure everyone has heard about the man that is having the baby – shocking and unbelievable, but before opening your mouth and staring at the person who told you this rumor. You should hear the entire the story.
Thomas Beatie, 34, from Organ is a transgender man who is six months pregnant. He was born a female and decided to get a sex change done 10 years ago. He had breast surgery to remove glands and flatten his chest and began taking testosterone treatments. He refused to change any of his reproductive organs in hope of having a child one day. Well, that day is now. Beatie’s wife Nancy, who has two kids of her own from her previous marriage, artificially inseminated Beatie with sperm they purchased from a sperm bank. “The roles will not change in the house”, stated Nancy, “he will still be the father and I will be the mother”. The obstetrician that agreed to take care of Beatie, Dr. Kimberly James, stated that “This is a normal pregnancy.”
