Media Deception: "Miraculous" Pregnant "Man" is Really a Woman

BEND, Oregon, April 4, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The mainstream media pushed the story of Thomas Beatie this past week, billing the story as the 'miraculous' male pregnancy. The startling news headline took the media by storm on April 1 (was this date a coincidence?), following Beatie's appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show and an interview in People magazine.

If this story really were an instance of an unexplained pregnancy in a male, it might really be newsworthy. But it is actually a total non-story about a woman becoming pregnant. And yet, it has been turned into a giant media deception to forward the homosexual and transsexual agenda.

The fact of the matter is that "Thomas Beatie" is really Tracy Lagondino, a lesbian inclined woman who underwent transsexual surgery that altered her breasts, and who decided not to remove her reproductive organs. Beatie has been able to grow a beard due to a testosterone regimen, adding to the deception of a male pregnancy.

The mainstream news media has decided to cover the story, universally referring to Beatie as a "man", using "he" and "his" in reference to her, and proclaiming her pregnancy a miracle. In a widely circulated Reuters report, for example, it was stated, "Beatie, 34, who lives in Oregon, was born a woman but decided to become a man 10 years ago".

Somehow, biology has now been arbitrarily replaced by "deciding" in order to determine one's gender. It sounds so similar to the increasingly heard argument that an unborn baby, at any stage, is only human if the mother "decides" it is wanted, and if she decides not - she can kill it.

Even the normally politically incorrect and reliable DrudgeReport has been consistently referring to Beatie as a "pregnant man" in his headline links.  What has happened to Matt Drudge that he would go along with such an incredibly obvious political correctness?

What we need to understand is how this story fits into the sweeping agenda of the forces gathered to destroy the family.

Homosexual lobbyists have somehow succeeded in many nations in persuading or bullying governments into recognizing same-sex couples legally, one focus being securing the "right" to raise children for themselves.

At the same time schools are introducing mandatory programs to indoctrinate children with a homosexual understanding of families. Hence, it has become clear that the homosexual movement does not so much wish to do away with the concept of family, but rather to twist and warp it until it means something totally subjective.

"Thomas," the ex-beauty queen, proudly said that being pregnant didn't make her feel less of a man, and that the moral of her story is that "wanting to have a biological child is neither a male nor female desire, but a human desire." Trouble is, men just do not and physically cannot bear children, no matter how much a few might desire to do so. Desire is not reality.

As the attacks on traditional marriage begin to succeed, the next stage in the homosexual offensive is the attack on gender itself. The total mutability of gender and identity has begun, and stories like this one are forced down the throats of readers everywhere with the expectation that they will be gullible to believe that families are whatever two people want them to be. LifeSiteNews has reported a number of times in the past about attempts to deconstruct gender via the United Nations and in other forums (see http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2004/mar/040323a.html)

And the proof is in the pudding. Hundreds of versions of the Beatie story have spawned across the internet and the world, even in such far-away places as New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, India and Thailand.

The UK press is all over the story, which even a week later is still in the top five most popular stories for the BBC. Beatie has become a miniature celebrity and poster-child-bearer for lesbian magazines. Dozens of YouTube videos have been uploaded, paying homage to the woman who is trying to convince the world that childbearing and family are things that transcend gender.

Even breastfeeding advocates, who should be showing outrage that a woman would give birth to a child denied breastfeeding because the child's mother has mutilated her own breasts, are strangely silent on the issue.

It's not hard to tell that this whole movement is geared, as we have said, to deconstruct gender. The goal of the transsexual movement is "liberty," a freedom to call oneself a woman or a man depending on his or her feelings or whims.

The homosexual movement has promoted the belief that persons with homosexual inclinations are all born that way and a growing proportion of the public is accepting the theory without bothering to investigate the evidence or lack of for the claim. The transsexual threat is more ambitious: it aims for acceptance of the fantasy that someone can be born a woman in the body of a man, or a man in the body of a woman, or a man can be a mother, or a woman can be a father.

Can the public be led to accept this as well? Again, without any compelling evidence to support such an extremely radical notion? Could it be, as we yesterday reported Peter Kreeft stating, "Antichrist is now winning, because he has convinced most people to bypass that simple word: reason. Most people today 'feel;' they no longer 'think.'"

This preposterous story shows that now the transsexual movement is gaining prominence in the anti-family crusade. All readers need to be aware that the next phase in the transsexual advance involves wholesale deception and manipulation with the full cooperation of the mainstream media.

[television is just wrong]

It is not a miracle. It is a woman who had surgery to remove her breasts and left the uterus.

She is a one woman freak show. Used to be beautiful. Now she has destroyed herself.

woman partway through sex change operation becomes pregnant.

as soon as i saw “him” and heard “him,” i knew that “guy” was not really a guy...

[newfreep]

What did oprah know and when did she know it?

[ryan71]

This story is indicative of society’s total disregard for the truth.

**But it is actually a total non-story about a woman becoming pregnant. And yet, it has been turned into a giant media deception to forward the homosexual and transsexual agenda.**

I agree — a total non-story.

It is about time the truth was told.

“a lesbian inclined woman”

Does that mean she lays down a lot?

If she’s a lesbian, how did he(she) get pregnant?

---

A woman who became a man, to get pregnant.

Hell can freeze over now, I guess.

[UCANSEE2]

“she’ll probably have nut-ball doctors lining up to take her!”

Isn’t that the type of doctor who made her ‘a man’?

[pepsi_junkie]

The pregnant man, back in his fraternity days.

[enough_idiocy]

Thank you.

This whole thing has been pissing me off. Reports about a pregnant man. It’s not a man. It’s a confused chick.

There are just as many people with below-average IQ as there are with above-average IQ. Think about it.

I think you meant "median," not average.

Take five values: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 20; what's the average? 6. How many of the original values are below 6, how many above?

Think about it. :)

“There are just as many people with below-average IQ as there are with above-average IQ. Think about it.”

Actually, not really. There are slightly fewer. It’s not a normal distribution. There’s a cluster of very low-intelligence folks (mostly genetic disorders, toxin exposure, etc.) that brings the mean down disproportionately. There’s no corresponding cluster at the high end. Thus, while there are the same number of people on either side of the median, there are more above the mean than below.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The left and the media have outlived their usefulness. They are completely and totally irresponsible.
It is impossible to change one’s sex (they call it gender). Mutilation and grafting can not change a woman into a man. Impossible.

The left and the media have bought the myth that sex (they call it gender) is not determined at fertilization. They say it is something that we can change, at will, and then change again. Just takes some hormones, a scalpel, and some stitches.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Self-mutilated freaks should not have children.

I saw that Oprah show as I happened to be in the doctor’s office and it was on the TV.

It was so disgusting. “He” comes out with a big belly, a bit of a beard....dressed to look like a man and the audience goes “ooh”.

If I wasn’t in an office full of people I wanted to scream...”HEY IDIOTS IN THE AUDIENCE. THAT “THING” WITH THE PREGNANT BELLY IS A FEMALE. IT’s GOT A UTERUS!”

What the hell? Anyone could get a fake beard, some man’s pants....and with a pregnant belly walk around and claim to be a man. And Oprah’s all part of the game that has the producers peeing upon our feet and telling us it’s raining.

I’m thinking, so let me put on a rented feline costume like the kind in that famous musical, and announce to the world that I AM A CAT!

I would then expect Oprah to give me cat food, provide mice that I may hunt and perhaps some catnip for my amusement. And everyone should treat me with respect for the cat that I am because I said I am, perhaps stroke me gently while listening to my fine and well-practiced purr.

This was just the ultimate in idiocy.

Oprah respectfully referred to it as a man while I’m rolling my eyes so much I looked like a pinball machine.

Talk about the emperor having no clothes.

And yes this fool has its breasts removed because we, of course, had to see it without a top to witness its hairy chest wrought on by testosterone.

IT HAS A UTERUS!

There will be no babies birthed from humans without uteri, tough and get over it.

Well for starters Matt Drudge admits to being “gay”.....
