Thomas Beatie, a married man pregnant with a baby (in Off-topic)

Girl.

Good for him. And boo on the doctor(s) who refused him treatment.

But he's not really a man. Lol.

are you going with the 'Duck' standard of proof Nosebleed?

"legally male"
Close enough.

How else could this happen Nosebleed? Of course he wasn't completely male.

im flashing back to the movie Twins, with danny devito and the governor. Arnold

I especially liked things in the report like "his right Fallopian tube".

Really puts a question mark over gender.

How do you determin what gender a human is, if reproductive organs aren't the defining trait? ;)

So technically he's a she... and she's a lesbian because she married another woman... and now they're having a baby together with donated sperm.

All sounds perfectly normal to me. My only problem is with "mister" Beatie changing his gender. I mean, it isn't like he can use the body parts he's been given like a normal man could... it just made him look the part. He should've stayed a woman and been proud to be in love with another woman. I have yet to see a big deal made of two "women" who have a child together ...

Usually either genetic, structural or self-identied? If genetic, you fall foul of all the not-XX, not-XY, plus all those testosterone insensitives (they are XY but aren't affected by testosterone so develop "female" since that's the default), androgenized (mother had too many steriods and an XX becomes a "male"), Klienfelter's (XYY), and more. Structurally (which reproductive organs you have) gets shot by the true hermaphrodites, which do exist, if rare. And what about the circumcision accidents... yes they get castrated. Plus the women who have had hyserectomies... still female?

If you count what the other guy says they are, you get these people whose words don't match their genetics, and some who don't identify at all, and you get another problem.

This bipartisan division into "male" or "female" is a big debacle, what's the point unless you want to demonstrate some difference between them, then you use the definition of "male"/"female"/otherwise that matters. If you want to say girls learn faster, then genetics. Girls as a social group, their own identity. There is no unifying definition. Well, Murphy's law.

GL: How many X's, how many Y's?

"the biology of gender is far more complicated than XX or XY chromosomes"

;)

This a non story...
"human is pregnant!!! film at 11"

dumb; this definately makes little baby jesus, all swaddled up in his baby blanket, cry.

however in the mony python movie life of brian where dude wants to be loretta, thats funny stuff. wheres the fetus gonna gestate?? u gonna keep it in a box??

boo to the doctors that refuses treatmeant? no way man, if some lady or male or gross-gender walked in with a packard bell computer with windows ME installed and said "i think something is wrong" i wouldnt touch it with a ten foot pole either.

I saw that a year or so ago. Now that's artificially implanting an embryo into a full male. I really like the "GOD DAMN YOU" comments.

dude, you read their about? lol http://www.rythospital.com/about/ a nanobot? lol lol

R.T.Y. hospital stuff is all fake, especially the one Obscurans posted about the pregnant man, it's all an elaborate web hoax by some artists.

DP ... you didnt read the article did you. This man carrying a child is a woman who had gender reassignment surgery ... she still has her uterus and for a time still had her own ovaries, until she had an eptopic pregnancy and had to remove them.

Yes, true males cannot become pregnant, but this male is a female in disguise.

Nevermind. xD

[LittleRed]Calynne made an excellent point. Well, you can't really blame them if they feel that they will be more accepted by society if they have a male-female relationship, right?

But I see your point and applaud your comment.

Babies come from storks. Why are we arguing?

There is no argument. If you're arguing the fact that he is a she.... *sighs*

Transgenders! Females in disguise!
