Transgender "man" reportedly gives birth
News Daily ^ | July 3, 2008 | Steve Gorman

Posted on 07/07/2008 7:39:02 AM PDT by Pontiac

Thomas Beatie, who was born a woman but after surgery and hormone treatment lives as a man, has given birth to a girl at an Oregon hospital, People magazine reported on Thursday.

Beatie, 34, who kept female reproductive organs after initiating a transgender transformation and legally changing his name from Tracy Lagondino in his 20s, confirmed the birth to the magazine.

The baby, conceived through artificial insemination using donor sperm and Beatie's own eggs, was born on June 29, and Beatie and the baby are "healthy and doing well," People reported.

Beatie's wife, Nancy, 46, whom he married five years ago, was unable to conceive because of a prior hysterectomy. Otherwise, he has said, "I wouldn't be doing this." His spouse has two grown daughters by a previous marriage.

Now if you believe the popular press this “Man” was born a woman but always felt that he was a man trapped in a woman’s body.

So why did this man feel a need so desperate to have a baby that he spent the thousands of dollars required (his or the states) to have artificial insemination?

If he so wanted to be a man, why did he not complete his gender reassignment?

The article says that Oregon legally recognizes him as a man. What basis does Oregon use in determining Sex? This man has functioning female organs.

Never was and never will be.

More insanity.

Somehow the birth of this baby seems to me to be evidence of the failure of the “gender reassignment.” SHE is still a woman.

This mammal is not a “man”.
It is a woman who disfigured her body, but kept the parts needed to reproduce.

It is not a man. It is a woman that has been surgically modified to look like a man, but it has retained all of the female sexual organs.

It was born female. It's DNA is female. It has all of the female reproductive organs. By any definition it is a she.

She obviously has severe psychological and emotional problems. Not just because she felt the need to be surgically modified to look like a man, but because she felt the need to then get pregnant so she could continually issue press releases and have press conferences to tell the world that she was a man having a baby. We are talking about a pathological need for attention.

I feel very sorry for the child, who had no choice in her parents and will likely grow up as screwed up as her mother.

Just because she’s f-ed up like a football bat, it doesn’t make her a man. Just a really screwed up woman.

Sex = What you're born with. Genetically coded, permanent, irreversible, what you are.

Gender = The social role you play.

I love Politically correct people, those who like to sound intellectual and think themselves as smart because they “misuse” the language so that they can avoid certain words that sound a certain way. Ever notice how some in the MSM pronounce “Uranus, Harassment.....?” Sad statement.

This persons sex never changed, he simply wanted to play the male gender role. It's role-playing nothing more, but no matter what you do, even if one surgically disfigures, chemically alters, and psychobabble himself into believing different; one is born with a certain sex, and that will never change. If you want to role play, put on a batman suit, but please don't screw up other peoples lives as this sick pervert did.

That's another word that's not used anymore at all, in case you haven't noticed, “pervert?” In a world of “lifestyles” where there is no right and wrong, were everything is equal, the term “pervert” looses it's relevance.

pervert
n 1: a person whose behavior deviates from what is acceptable; especially in sexual behavior [syn: pervert, deviant, deviate, degenerate]

http://onlinedictionary.datasegment.com/word/pervert

What's next? Polygamy, NMBLA........... Sure, why not, it's all OK and it's all good, right? And of course no one calls it what it is anymore, perverts. Perverts who spread diseases, destroy children.......... I'm sure that this “pervert” has already been on the daytime talk-show circuits. Next we'll hear about “loving and caring” gay couples that want to adopt kids....... In fact if you use the word "pervert" that automatically today defines you as narrow minded, dumb, and not cool/hip.

Once the family goes, societies crash, and that's where we are heading, where most of Europe already is. Think about this, we have a presidential candidate who as one of his cornerstone positions champions the rights of the LGBT community, which thinks it should be a protected class in society as well. What chance of a normal life does the child of a “pervert” like this have?

This is a non-story.

The ‘man’s actually a woman. Just because the slob thinks she’s man trapped ina woman’s body doesn’t make her a man.

I’m in the bathroom and... oh, shoot, I just gave birth to a masterpiece. A Michaelangelo!

Apparently the person in question also has male reproductive organs... so instead of becoming a man, or staying a woman, they are now technically a hermaphrodite - in other words, both a man and a woman if you go by the presence of reproductive organs. My best guess is that the female reproductive organs were kept due to the partner’s infertility, but I can’t imagine what the necessary amount of male hormones would do to a female fetus during pregnancy. Or, maybe this person didn’t really want to be a man, but a hermaphrodite?

Honestly, people these days are so messed up, I can’t even begin to figure this one out.

So where does Oregon get off recognizing her as a man? Where does the US State Department get off issuing her a passport describing her as a man?

People will probably soon have parts surgically added so they look like cats.
They will then want to recognized as cats.

It’s no different than this madness.

It is an old leftist tactic to systematically change the meaning of words in order to blur social norms and there by dissolve the glue that up holds traditional culture.

Once the traditional culture is weakened sufficiently the theory goes the proletariat revolution can take place.

And it seems to be working, albeit very slowly. Creeping socialism is destroying this country.

This is a non-story.

I agree that a woman having a baby conceived by artificial insemination is a non-story.

As you may have gathered by my post to me the story is that he/she has garnered the documents from state and federal governments with minimal surgical modifications to her person to document her as a man.

If she can bear children I do not understand how she can be legally documented to have completed gender reassignment.

By the way I am of the opinion that gender can not be reassigned (not at this point of history anyway).

First off surgeons can not give you male reproductive organs, not functioning ones (at least I have not heard of any testicular transplants to date).

The article states that she halted hormone treatments to resume her ovulation cycle. This makes it clear that she does not have testis.

That article also states that the birth was not cesarean she there for could not have yet had a penis constructed.

You’re behind the curve.

I remember reading least year that a man (maybe a woman) had plastic surgery to make him look like a cat right down to having teeth implants.

I do not believe he tried to have any official documents to make him a tabby though.

Survey says that makes you a female.

I don't doubt it. Some people will do anything to get out of jury duty and taxes.

Apparently the person in question also has male reproductive organs.

They are just for show.

A full sex change operation involves removing the existing reproductive organs and attaching something that looks like reproductive organs of the opposite sex, but that are incapable of reproduction. After the operation, the patient is still the same sex as it was going in (based upon the presence or absence of a Y chromosome), but has been neutered and altered to look like the opposite sex.

Simply stated, they can create fixtures but cannot hook up the plumbing to make them work.

In this case, the patient only had half of the operation. She had the fake male sex organs attached and her appearance surgically altered to look male, but did not have her female sex organs removed (i.e., she wasn't neutered).

The child's only hope is that after mom stops getting national attention, she will lose interest and put the baby up for adoption.

Or the only other hope for the baby is that she hates her parents’ messed up life and rebels by becoming a completely normal, happy, functional member of society. I actually had a friend who did something like that... when she was a young teenager, her mom started going through some weird goth/japanese phase, so she refused to get into any of that stuff, and she’s turned out totally normal (and her mom is still acting like she’s a 14-year-old emo/goth kid).
