Man Who Had Baby Is Pregnant Again
来源:发布时间:2008-11-14
The transgender man who made headlines by having a baby earlier this year is again expecting, ABC News reported.Thomas Beatie, 34, and his wife, Nancy, 46, welcomed baby girl Susan in June.
A transgendered man who gave birth to a daughter earlier this year is pregnant again, ABC News reported Thursday. "I feel good," Thomas Beatie told Barbara Walters in an interview airing on ABC's '20/20.' "Everything is right on track." Here, Beatie is shown with his wife, Nancy, during his first Pregnancy.
Although Beatie was born female, he identified with being male and began the process of changing his sex in 1998. He started testosterone treatment, had his breasts removed and became legally male -- but he did not have surgery on his genitals, and his female reproductive organs remained intact.
The couple, who live in Oregon, wed in 2003. Nancy was unable to have children, so they decided that Thomas would instead. He stopped taking testosterone and started menstruating. After nine doctors refused to give the donor sperm couple, ABC News reported, they simply bought some on the Internet.
Beatie told ABC News that the Pregnancy did not make him feel like a woman. "I did not feel maternal or motherly or womanly and pregnant. I felt like Nancy's husband, and I felt like the father of my child," he said.
After Susan's birth, Beatie did not resume hormone therapy, in the hopes of having another baby. He was inseminated again two months ago.
Beatie has written a book about the experience, 'Labor of Love.' The Beaties are appearing on ABC's '20/20' Friday and were paid to be profiled in a British documentary that will air on the Discovery health Channel next week.
