Pregnant man Thomas Beatie gave birth to a baby girl on Friday.
Beatie – who received national attention when he appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in April – was born a female, but had his breasts surgically removed and legally changed his gender to male.
Due to the appearance of such a masculine-looking individual with a baby bump, Beatie has been the talk of tabloids for months. In reality, it’s not particularly astounding:
He kept his female sex organs, making this pregnancy far from ground-breaking.
“It doesn’t make me want to go and shave my legs or something,” he told Winfrey. “I’m a man, I just happen to be a pregnant man.”
On the contrary, Thomas Beatie, what differentiates a man and a woman is their sex organs. You’re a woman who takes testosterone.
