Pregnant Man, Baby #3!


A third baby for the legendary pregnant man? That's the latest news from Thomas Beatie, who made news last year as the "pregnant man" and is now set to have baby #3, according to a new report.

Beatie was born female, but went through ten years of sex reassignment therapy to complete a sex change. He had a successful childbirth in 2008 and another in 2009. And is now building a happy family even if its not a traditional one. More power to him, I say!

Hopefully more transgender Americans can follow the same path, and have proper health insurance and medical care to cover it just as everyone else does.
