A rose is a rose: the person was born a female. Even a chimpanzee could have detected and demonstrated that. This person''s chromosones and reproductive organs also demonstrated that. Taking hormones and getting breasts operated on were forms of unnatural self-mutilation. The pregnancy simply bears out what nature said in the beginning of this person''s life: she is a female, period. "Transgendered man" is a misnomer. "Mutilated female" is more like it.

And in the future, WHO gets to decide WHO keeps which baby and under what circumstances, you?

Doesn''t really matter as long as it isn''t one of your kind...

The title probably lies in within the desire to get more people to read the article. It wouldn''t be as interesting otherwise, if it had the explanation within the headline. Less people would read it out of curiosity.

It''s interesting how much antagonism something like this can spark. Strange and unnatural are set by cultural laws. I will admit that I find it a bit odd, but this man (Or woman, if you so choose)is being judged only under the pretense that it is ''unnatural''. As was said by Newster1, not really anything we do is natural anymore anyway. No one is completely natural, so what justification is there in condemning this guy for being ''unnatural'', and casting him aside like there is nothing redeeming about him because of it?

The key statement being said by all the news taps is "He began his life as a woman" Well there you go! HE is not a HE...."HE" is actually a she especially when SHE chose to keep her reproductive organs. So this is no more a man who is pregnant that a female dressing in drag and becoming pregnant and claiming, "look, I am a pregnant man!"

I heard this woman who thinks she''s a man say that she''s not a freak. She should look up the word, because FREAK is exactly what she/he is. From Websters: one that is markedly unusual or abnormal: as a: a person or animal having a physical oddity and appearing in a circus sideshow bslang (1): a sexual deviate

It%u2019s not natural for a man to bear a child. It%u2019s just not part of the natural world.

''Natural'' is irrelevent and doesnt matter, its not ''natural'' for people to live in hi-rise brick buildings instead of caves, but we DO, a flush toilet is also not ''natual'' we were meant to bend our fannies over a log in the woods, not use drinking water to flush our own waste.

A better idea is this dope NOT bring yet another mouth onto this planet when we are so overpopulated as it is. Till there are NONE in foster care dont breed- ADOPT ONE!!!

my opinion is if you want to be a man then you shouldn''t get to have a baby, that''s hypocritical...it''s like cheating...that lady is a jerk and i can''t imagine how the offspring will feel when it finds out...somehow the whole thing is offensive to me...

Why bring an innocent child into this weird situation? Let''s face it, most people find this very odd. I feel sad for this child. If you want to be a freak, then be a freak, but don''t bring children, who have no say so in the matter, into your bizarre world. It%u2019s not natural for a man to bear a child. It%u2019s just not part of the natural world. And I know that he really is a she, but in his/her child%u2019s eyes, she is a he%u2026 man, now I%u2019m sofa king confused%u2026

MyOpinion1, well said.. to stay appearing as man or to stay maskerading as a man she has to take tablets for the rest of her life which by the way will eventually kill her anyway..

TheGateway1 "Beatie said many doctors had refused to treat him and one warned him: "People would try to kill my baby because it is an abomination.""

I believe that that was a lot of rot. NO Dr would say that, it is just a beat up and for her to even say that is sick..
How could a child be an abomination, it is a beautiful little baby, or at least in the beginning... goodness knows what it will be like after a few years of this confusion of parents..

Prurient, voyeuristic reporting at its very worst. CBS ought to be ashamed of itself!

Just so Voltron (I mean voltaire) doesn''t miss it....

"Keep up the bigotry and the hatred, wango2007! You are the perfect example of the need to educate people about this issue. Thanks for highlighting that need!Posted by voltaire333 at 08:05 PM : Apr 04, 2008"

Hey, before you keep going off on people, answer the questions I posed to you.

If she ''''''''feels'''''''' that she is a man, and goes through the trouble to ''''''''look'''''''' like a man, yet keeps her sexual reproductive organs, how does that make her a man?

Or, answer this. Do you support the ''''''''feeling'''''''' that "Dennis Avner (born in Flint, Michigan August 27, 1958) of Tonopah, Nevada, United States, is widely known as the "Catman", though he prefers his Native American name, Stalking Cat. Stalking Cat has spent considerable resources to surgically modify his body to resemble that of a tiger." should be legally called a tiger?

or "Erik Sprague (born June 12, 1972 in Austin, Texas) better known as The Lizardman, is a freak and sideshow performer, best known due to his sharpened teeth, full-body tattoo of green scales and bifurcated tongue." should legally be called a lizard?


Same thing in all three cases. What is your answer?

Okay, you have issues. I get that. But don''t call people haters just because they don''t agree with your political or social agenda.

I think most Americans are pretty sick and tired of others saying which words can be used and which can''t. That approach is just plain old fascism.

Bigotry and fascism have always been linked in history, and it seems to be true of the sexually confused among us.

I will continue to use whatever words I wish to describe what I see. You have nothing to say about that. I will not be intimidated by the hatred, bigotry or confused state of mind of others. I am educated, so that means I recognize the nature of your propaganda and know that I am free to reject it.
