Most of the coverage of Thomas Beatie has been respectful. Not so at one network.
  • not a man

    If I met this guy at a cocktail party I’d always think of him as a man. But the medical truth is this ‘man’ is genetically a woman. The news coverage that this is a pregnant man really bugs the hell out of me because it's just not true. Of course people are going to laugh at the story because it’s the equivalent of a Weekly World News’s headline.

    It makes me think this ‘man’ is doing it for free baby stuff People Magazine is likely to throw at him (like the parent’s of really high multiple births do). Being trashy and looking for free stuff isn't just for the straights anymore.
