Thomas Beatie, The First Pregnant Man

Sun, 15 Jun 2008 16:41:20 +0000

For real. A man named Thomas Beatie is going to have a baby. And no, not in some Gloria Steinem alternate reality.

Beatie, Popular Fidelity reports, was born a woman, but had gender reassignment surgery. His wife couldn’t get pregnant, but he still could. So now the child’s father will be the one to give birth.

And now a word from Thomas:
How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible. Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am. In a technical sense I see myself as my own surrogate, though my gender identity as male is constant. To Nancy, I am her husband carrying our child-I am so lucky to have such a loving, supportive wife. I will be my daughter’s father, and Nancy will be her mother. We will be a family.

More power to them. People are sure to call this situation freakish, but the family actually sounds pretty suburban and normal except for this one challenge to traditional new-baby protocol (we see Miss Manners adjusting her baby shower etiquette chapter). We know families way wackier, and in far less ground-breaking ways.
