NEWS FLASH!!! YOU ARE NOT A MAN!!

This is what I scream at the TV every time I hear about Thomas Beattie being pregnant or having given birth and the pregnant again.
I know what I am saying may not sound the most socially acceptable. He has all the parts of a woman - that is not a damn freak of nature thing that someone who has ovaries and a uterus gets pregnant!! I refuse to call him a man until Thomas has undergone the gender reassignment surgery!
For crying out loud - I could shave my damn head and grow a full on mustache and beard without taking hormones (just stop waxing)!! And then get knocked up and call myself a pregnant man! Does that make me a man!?!?!? HELL NO!!!! Thomas is still functionally a freaking woman!! Or at least has all woman parts. When Thomas gets a penis and has his uterus taken out and then "miraculously" gets pregnant then I will be OK with all the hype.
Listen, I am pretty liberal in a lot of my views about things - but this - I just can't hang with! Please!
Am I alone?

I completely agree with you! Why is this newsworthy? It's a freaking woman dressed up as a man, people! I've been pregnant 4 times and haven't recieved any phone calls from the media. What's up with that?

I have been thinking the same thing every time they talk about it on the news like it is some big medical mystery! Um, he has a uterus people! No magic. If you want to talk about him being transgender, fine do that, but to act like it's a big deal to push a baby out when you have a uterus & vagina...not a breaking story!

Well said Holly!
Talk about a transgender woman having a baby! Please don't infer that he was born with no uterus and no vagina!
