Barbara Walters' special with Thomas Beatie, "the pregnant man," aired on Friday night. His situation is unique in that he was born a woman, legally became a man, but other than having his breasts removed, he did not have sex reassignment surgery, so his uterus was still available when his wife was unable to conceive a child. Some people think that's freaky or disturbing. But the most disturbing part of all are the death threats, malice, and intolerance that Thomas and his family have experienced since they've gone public. Clip above.
