Update on "pregnant man"

I never said he didn't have a right or wasn't allowed. The ability to have a child is obviously a human right, and duty, there's no question there. But the ability to make a child, and carry it to term is one of the basic rights of women. Men don't have that right. So it comes down to in this case, using women, using their nature, but in function only. It's sort of a like a one night stand: take what you want of the woman, and leave the rest, it causes harm to the female gender and trivializes what it means to be a woman.[/QUOTE]

What harm is it causing to the female gender? I'm a female. I don't feel the least bit threatened by a transgender man having a baby. Probably the only people that do feel threatened by it are the same ones that feel threatened by homosexuality or transgender people in general. My greatest concern is whether or not that child will be loved and cared for and I have no doubt that Thomas and Nancy will do just that. Love makes a family. It doesn't matter who gives birth.

 

Yes, the baby is bioligically his. They used a sperm donor and used artificial insemination. Yes, he has ovaries although he had to have one fallopian tube removed after a tubal pregnancy. The baby will be bottle fed.

 

Yeah, I did tell him about it. I inquired about t-shirts before we decided to go with Cafe Press. Thomas and Nancy own a t-shirt business that they had to put on hold during the pregnancy and the media coverage.
