The “Pregnant Man” Pregnant Again
Okay, so this may not be my usual blog post, but I when I saw this on The View today, I had to speak my mind on it. Thomas Beatie, who was actually born a female and then legally changed his sex from female to male and had surgery to remove his breasts, gave birth last June to a child. Well, apparently he is pregnant again according to his interview with Barbara Walters.
There are a couple of questions that arise whenever I hear about this person. If they legally changed their gender from a female to a man, then how is she able to give birth? Only women can birth (Yes, from now on I will only refer to this person as a she). THIS IS NOT A MAN!!! I get so sick when people call this her a man. If she still has a uterus to carry a baby and give birth to a child (and she did not have the baby by c-section) then she is a woman. I want to know who allowed her to legally change her status from female to male?
I want to know what this world is coming to when people actually applaud this couple for getting pregnant and having a child. These children are going to be messed up. I don’t care what anybody says, they are going to have problems. I want to know what kind of morals and ethics that these doctors had that helped this woman get pregnant.
Yes, this story truly sickens me. I know that there are many people who may not agree with me and there are probably more people that actually do agree with on me on this. But knowing people that can’t have children or have trouble carrying children and then you hear a sick story like this and all the publicity it gets, really makes me angry, sad, and worried.
