Pregnant man Thomas Beatie has decided to write a memoir.
Beatie’s memoir, titled Love Makes a Family: A Memoir of Hardship, Healing, and Extraordinary Pregnancy, is schedule to be released on September 30, 2008. In his memoir, Beatie talks about female-to-male gender reassignment surgery and his experiences as a pregnant man.
Beatie maintains that being pregnant doesn’t make him any less of a man. In a recent interview on Oprah, Beatie said,
It doesn’t make me want to go and shave my legs or something. I’m a man, I just happen to be a pregnant man.
Beatie is due to deliver his baby on July 3, via ceaseran.

I am happy they can have a child. I do know for a fact that I will not read the book. As well, he is not a pregnant man. I wish people would stop calling him a pregnant man like it is some kind of miracle. It is simply a women, who changed to a man, that is pregnant. Best of luck for their family and the child.

This is not a pregnant man, just a woman dressed as a man that is pregnant. This is no miracle. Not any different than any other woman in the world getting pregnant.

HHHmmmmm! Nowadays I see it possible for a real man to have a baby we are just waiting for technology to catch up, as far as this person is concerned only mentally is she considered a male. If I had my breasts removed that would not make me less a woman, women have mastectomies due to cancer, if I grew hair under my arms and legs then started taking testosterone that still would not make me less a woman, just a woman with more hair and no breasts, we distinguish the difference between a male and female biologically by our reproductive organs, not because hey someone says even tho I still have a vagina I want to be called a man, the only way that is possible is mentally in the persons own mind. And that is where the difference can not be recognised. But we as a society have to be gentle with those who have these problems, because we are humans and all humans make mistakes, even myself, so everything I said up there could be wrong to others, but it is my own belief, so to does this woman/man have their belief. Diffently not a miracle.
