Babies: 0 - 3 Months

Oh FFS. He's not a "pregnant man!!" Geez!

Umm... If you can grow a baby in your UTERUS you are not a man.  I realize there was a sex change involved, but that is still not a "pregnant man".  I'm sick of all the media attention.  Am I the only one who feels this way?

Re: Oh FFS. He's not a "pregnant man!!" Geez!

  • You're not the only one.  I'm sick of hearing about this too.

  • yup I feel that way too, biologically he is not a man so I never got the whole "pregnant man" hysteria.
  •  

     * chalmette whispers no.

  • I feel the same way.  When a man who was born a man gets pregnant let me know.
  • THANK YOU! I'm so sick of hearing about the pregnant man.

  • My 12 year old son argues with me about it, saying he is a man. Outwardly he is a man, but on the inside he is a woman.

  • definitely not the only one. I felt the same way the first time "he" was pregnant. Yes, it's a big story for that community, but he is not a biological man.

  • Did he go through a sex change operation?  I thought he/she had his boobs removed and is taking testorone.  He didn't want his uterus removed so he could have kids.  (that sentence was weird)

  • He did NOT have a sex change. He delivered his baby vaginally.

    Yes. Exactly.  Oh, and who is the father?  I'm confused by this.  I don't mean the "father" in the relationship. I mean did they use a sperm donor? Does anyone know?  

     Oh, and I have the same blue blanket you have in your siggy pic.

  • not a man, not in the least
  • And saying you identify as something doesn't make it so.
  • I have yelled this at the TV several times. 
  • I'm sorry.  You are both correct.  He did not have a sex change, and I knew that.  I misspoke.  I'm just annoyed by all the hype.
  • It is not a big story for the Trans community either! LOTS of trans men have babies, as far back as the 70's. I am sick of hearing about it too.

  • And I'm going to "identify" as 25 for the rest of my life.
  • I'm really surprised by the insensitivity to the trans community being shown here.  I agree that it is not newsworthy that someone with a uterus and ovaries became pregnant, but referring to him as a woman and making fun of his sexual identity is quite insensitive.  I would have expected more tolerance from this board... though now that I think about it, I'm not sure why.

    He can identify however he wants. I have no problem with that at all. But to push this damn story as "pregnant man" implying that someone born biologically a man, with sperm and a wang, got pregnant, is ridiculous.

    It's not a lack of tolerance for transgender that this board is showing. It's a lack of tolerance for media whores. This "man" is trying to market him self as a man having a baby- this is not true. He's trying so hard to extend his 15 minutes of fame and it's getting annoying.

    this is exactly how I feel about it as well. 

    I'm sick of hearing about the pregnant "man". He may act, live and identify as a man, but biologically he is still a woman and therefore, is not a medical marvel that needs media attention.

  • You're not the only one.  Last time I checked, if you had a uterus, you were a woman.  I don't care what outside appearances are.

    EXACTLY!  If he actually identifies himself as a man, then he wouldn't want anything to do with carrying a baby in his body.  He's just a big AW and it's beyond annoying.

  • So, I'm late on this, but just for the record, they said that he took hormones that lengthen his clitoris, which is similar to a penis...they said that they have sex that way, but I was watching another show (ahem...Dr 90210...hehe) and that doctor said that he would not be able to, well, insert the enlarged clitoris (make shift penis) into a vagina....

     So while he still has a vagina, he also has...a...penis? I dunno. Just wanted to throw that out there.

  • I'm so so so annoyed with this whole thing.  They are acting like it's a miracle that a man had a baby.  He is a woman who has had her breast removed and is taking hormones and got pregnant.  Any woman could do this so there is nothing special about it.  And I feel like they are pregnant again just to keep their "celebrity status" going.  They should not be receiving attention for this.
  • AMEN!  He's a pregnant "trans-gender"

  • I actually forgot about him lol

  • I totally agree. If you can have a baby grow inside of you no matter what your DL says you are a WOMAN. You may have had a partial sex change but you are still a woman if you can have a baby.
