'The Pregnant Man' No Longer Pregnant Again

The Pregnant Man Thomas BeattieGuess what folks? It's that special time of year when you try to re-figure out how Thomas Beattie -- aka "The Pregnant Man" -- gave birth ... because that's exactly what he just did. Again.

Beattie squeezed out a baby boy this morning, "20/20" is reporting. It's Beattie's second child (no name has been decided yet), joining his daughter Susan Juliette.

And just to further your confusion, "20/20" says it was a "natural childbirth" and that Beattie's wife will be the one doing the breastfeeding.

You now have permission to talk amongst yourselves.

61. I took health class in school, men don't have a uterus. It's essential to having a child.

62. It's a female, I dont care how many ppl put a stupid spin on it.. SHE IS A SHE.. I'm from Oregon and this is a total humiliation.
I don't shave all winter long and i come outta my house the first day of spring looking like a Sasquatch and i'm still a female.

I don't know why this article pisses me off so much, oh i know because she wants to have her 2 years of fame for having a beard.. I bet the broad shaves her clam and glues it to her face..

STOP THE INSANITY FFS, she is a she, she has a vag and she obviously used it to get knocked up.. She doesn't have a penis besides the one you buy over the counter.. My gawd wake up and smell the coffee her clit is not her penis..

63. Why the media keep reporting this woman as a "man" must be either, (1) some bad inside joke or, (2) they're just ignorant.

Listen up,

if one has the XX chromosome, they're female;

if one has the XY chromosome, they're male.

This is a woman who was born a female and had her breasts removed, AND NOTHING ELSE! She still has a uterus. Until she has a hysterectomy, she is a "she", and not a "he".

Simple, isn't it?

65. Yes, YAYA, it is indeed a cruel world.....just look at some of these ugly, hate-filled comments.

66. How come you guys keep saying this is a man. She is definitely not a man. She has female reproductive organs, so the last I heard that would make her a female. I guess TMZ likes the gays and the woman that wish they were men.. That seems to be most of your stories these days.

67. What is every one talking about, of course a woman can be a man, case in point Jon Bon Jovi!

68. Most people find this weird I can't blame them. However the father is a man-(in his head) he was just happened to be born a female. Now once he doesn't want anymore childeren he should get the rest of the gender reassignment surgury. Then again that is his choice not mine. If he was my neighbor I would still be his friend. Nobody has anything to fear from this family.

70. # 13 I agree with the "bearded lady" title. Also # 14 I really don't think anyone is bashing GAY people, but I do find this little circus crazy. The media is feeding into this and getting off on it. It's really sad and honestly all any of us can do is pray for the children. This just goes to show that people will do any thing for attention and money. PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL!!!!!

71. The woman needs professional help and shame on the media for fueling this behavior, If it were just her and her wife that would be one thing but she's bringing children into the picture. It's a sad state of affairs and I fear for the children.

72. It is an abomination. Poor children have to live with that thing for a father.

73. I find these comments to be ignorant and revolting. First, admittedly, Thomas Beattie was born a female but took legal and surgical measures (albeit not "all" surgical measures) to become a man. His birth certificate and all documentation reflect this change in legal status. Second, there are a number of health/socioeconomic reasons why people do not have sex reassignment surgery, namely that there are significant risks of complication. Additionally, many insurance companies do not cover such procedures so the economic requirements necessary would be burdensome to the average wage earner. Third, one reason why he gave birth is that his wife had cancer and was unable to have children.

While I understand this topic may be hard for people who derive more enjoyment seeing socialites drunk and vomiting outside of Hollywood nightclubs, perhaps picking up a book or news magazine will illuminate you in ways that celebrity gossip will not. In addition, for those who wonder why our country remains anti-gay/anti-transgender (and for many you jump on the advocacy bandwagon because it is "trendy"), ill-mannered, ill-informed comments like this should serve as a pretty good indicator as to the lack of progress in our country. It surprises me that we elected an African-American president, but I suppose that our disgust over our previous President was enough to put aside our prejudicial attitudes for Election Day.

74. My husband and I have decided to not bring children into this world. (Cheers from the Liberal gay loving crowd, I'm sure). It gets more and more disgusting and perverted everyday. I would never want to explain this type of sicko crap to my child. The thought of some liberal teacher telling my child they have the choice to be gay or not, makes me want to puke. I feel sorry for those that have to in this ill-fated day and age. Sodom and Gomorrah anyone???
Disgusting.
