Thomas Beatie, the transgender man who made headlines as the so-called "pregnant man," gave birth today to a healthy baby girl, ABC News has learned. Pregnant Man Transgender male Thomas Beatie has delivered a healthy baby girl. Beatie became pregnant through artificial insemination.
The birth - at a hospital in Bend, Oregon - was natural, according to a source, who added that earlier reports that Beatie had planned a caesarean section are false.
"She's really cute, really pretty,'' the source told ABC News Thursday afternoon.
Born a woman, Beatie, 34, who had his breasts surgically removed and legally changed his gender from female to male, leaped to prominence around the world in April when the wispy bearded man revealed he was pregnant.
Despite years of taking hormones and living outwardly as a man, Beatie maintained that he retained his female sex organs because he intended one day to get pregnant.

My prayers go out to this poor baby. I hope somebody does a follow-up on her life so we can know how she’s doing.
Some experimentation is NOT in the best interest of mankind.
The birth - at a hospital in Bend, Oregon - was natural,....
The birth, yes....the genderbender not so much...
So.. Would “his” wife be straight or gay??? I a bit confused on this one...
If it was born a female and it kept its female sex organs then it's not a 'he'.
Legally born a woman. Thats what God intended her to be. Why do they keep refering to her as “HE”.
Damn “FREAK” is what I say. Very very very mentally disturbed freak. The really sad part is that the genes of this freak have now multipled.
No SHEt Sherlock...
That's just disgusting.
She's about as much a man as my wiener dog.
When someone who actually has XY-chomosomes and didn’t have surgery to place a womb into his abdomen gives birth, then it will be news. Otherwise ...
She is a woman. A bearded lady.
I wonder if Josef Mengele assisted in the delivery....
retained his her female sex organs
There, fixed it. Unless her chromosomes changed, which they didn't, she was just another mental patient in need of therapy.
Males have XY chromosomes.
This person has XX chromosomes.
This person is not a male.
This person is a female.
It is normal for females to give birth.
Sensationalism!
Planned 15 min of fame will forever brand the baby.
Yeesh.
All the surgery in the world cannot change DNA.. You cannot change DNA.. The dude is a chick.. and no doubt Mother Nature is pissed off..
