A Transgender man has claimed to be pregnant with a baby girl, according to news reports.

Thomas Beatie, who was born a woman, has reportedly said the experience so far had been “incredible” and that he is lucky to have such a supportive wife.

Living in Oregon the news was written for a US website, said that he decided to keep his female reproductive organs when he became transgender but he had a breast reduction and underwent testosterone therapy. His wife, Nancy had a hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis, so the couple began to think about Mr Beatie carrying a child.

This meant Mr Beatie had to stop taking his testosterone injections but claims that his body regulated itself after just a few months.

He said: “I stopped taking my bimonthly testosterone injections. It had been roughly eight years since I had my last menstrual cycle, so this wasn’t a decision that I took lightly.

“My body regulated itself after about four months, and I didn’t have to take any exogenous estrogen, progesterone, or fertility drugs to aid his pregnancy.”

But a tv station that has been investigating the story has questioned the validity of Mr Beatie’s claims.

 

‘Discrimination’

 

Mr Beatie’s neighbour Ron Schlieper said: “Quite frankly, I think it’s a hoax.

“I saw him a few days ago and he didn’t look like that.”

Mr Beatie claims this is his second pregnancy - the first was apparently an ectopic pregnancy with triplets.

“It was a life-threatening event that required surgical intervention, resulting in the loss of all embryos and my right fallopian tube,” he said.

“When my brother found out about my loss, he said, ‘It’s a good thing that happened. Who knows what kind of monster it would have been’.”

Mr Beatie said he and his wife had felt discriminated against because of the pregnancy.

“Doctors have discriminated against us, turning us away due to their religious beliefs,” he said.

“Health care professionals have refused to call me by a male pronoun or recognise Nancy as my wife.

If you resprayed a car blue when it was originally red would you call it a red car or blue one? but then again if it was originally a 2 ltr, 3 series Bmw for example is it wrong to call it a 3 series bmw.

With this in mind the news title should have said ” girl turned man is now pregnant,” which really isn’t national news…

Is the world really that quiet for this to make first page news?
