From ABC: Thomas Beatie, a former woman who is now a pregnant man, defended his decision today to have a baby, saying he has a "right to have a biological child." Despite removing his breasts, growing a wispy beard and legally having his gender changed from female to male, Beatie, 34, kept his female sex organs intact because he hoped to have a child some day. After years of struggling with his sexual identity and deciding to live as a man, he did the most womanly thing possible -- he became pregnant.

I'm no doctor. I don't claim to be a medical expert. So I'm probably going way out on a limb here by saying something that will be taken by most as being truly controversial and maybe even inflammatory. But here goes; I'm just going to come right out and let it fly. I think... again, just my opinion... that a man with female reproductive organs is what we would call a "woman." I hope I haven't offended anyone. I mean, if having no breasts and hair on your face made you a man, then most of the people I work with have been using the wrong rest room. Just like if having big floppy breasts made you a woman, then I've been golfing in the ladies night league all these years. Thomas Beatie can go by any name or use any pronoun she wants, but the sex organs dictate what gender you are. Again, I'm no expert. My reference source here isn't the NE Journal of Medicine, it's Webster's dictionary. But I'm confident that Beatie isn't a "he." At best, Beatie's a "Heshe." That's a candy bar without nuts.

As a final note, while giving birth is not all cookies and milk, I'm convinced if men did it, it would be no big deal. I've seen it done twice now. I've also been hit in the pills with a ground ball. The baseball in the groin is far worse. I can never prove it, so we'll have to just assume I'm right.
