This is crazy. If one wasn't enough, The first male mother is pregnant again, hoping to grow the family he started after giving birth in June to a daughter. Thomas Beatie, caused a worldwide clamour last spring after announcing his first pregnancy.
Beatie was born female but underwent sex change surgery in order to wed his partner Nancy legally. So there is a way to get around the ban on gay marriage. If your up for it. As part of the reassignment procedure, the former Tracy LaGondino took male hormones, inducing a beard and an outwardly masculine appearance. He kept his womb and ovaries intact in the hopes of one day having a child.
Well this changes everything. Does this mean Beatie can still say he was the first male mother when he in fact started out as a female?
He gave birth naturally in June at an Oregon hospital, following a 40-hour labour. Again how do you do that? I am not up to date on that sort of thing. I am not knocking it either. If it works for them then good for him. Just not my kind of thing. It isn't hurting me in any way.
