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.

<![CDATA[Pregnant Man Thomas Beatie Appears On Oprah]]> Thomas Beatie, who made headlines last week as the first man to become pregnant, sat down with Oprah today to discuss his condition. Beatie, an FTM, has been legally married to his wife Nancy for five years, and the couple wanted a child together. (Nancy had a hysterectomy due to endometriosis some 20 years ago, and is unable to get pregnant.) Other than the fact that Beatie has had gender identity issues, and is now a pregnant man, he and Nancy seem like a completely normal couple, and not the weirdo hoaxsters portrayed by the media for the past week and a half. Beatie's Ob/Gyn was also on the show to discuss how her patient's past hormone therapy will affect the child he's carrying. Clip above.
