It's pretty obvious he still has a female mindset, no man would go through birth pains TWICE!!!!

Had to think about this one....

if the baby had been carried by a 'surrogate' mother ... but still been the biological offspring of the mother or father would anyone mind?

is this not pretty much the same thing really? it will still have a mother and a father to all intents and purposes, ...it will just have been carried by a 'surrogate womb' that happened to belong to its father... so to speak.... ?

edited to add....being biologically able to have a baby doesn't define a a woman as 'female' any more than not being biologically able to have a baby defines a man as 'male'.... ?

I don't think we should judge, who are we to say what someone else should do?

Why do some think it's not 'normal' what ever normal is?

Bob, is the problem the fact that he calls himself male? or the fact he has given birth?

The "pregnant man" who gave birth to a daughter earlier this year is expecting a second child, according to US reports.
Thomas Beatie, a married man who used to be a woman, said he did not go back on the male hormone testosterone after the birth of Susan on June 29 so he could have another baby.
"I feel good," he told ABC News' Barbara Walters. "I had my checkups ... And everything is right on track."
Mr Beatie, who lives with his wife Nancy in Bend, Oregon, said the baby is due on June 12.



Mr Beatie, who was pictured topless with a swollen belly during his first pregnancy, has previously posed for a gay magazine as a woman.
He posed as a muscular woman before his sex change with his bikini-clad girlfriend, Nancy, in 2000. A second picture showed the couple in a wedding-style photograph taken in Honolulu in 2002.
In April, while he was expecting baby Susan, Mr Beatie told US daytime TV queen Oprah Winfrey: "I see pregnancy as a process and it doesn't define who I am. It's not a male or female desire to want to have a child, it's a human desire. And I'm a person and I have the right to have my own biological child."
Mr Beatie was born female and called Tracy Lagondino before undergoing gender reassignment surgery. He is now legally male and married to a woman.
He was able to get pregnant because he kept his female organs when he switched genders and decided to carry a baby for his wife because she had a hysterectomy several years ago.
The couple have been together for 10 years and married for five.
