The Tale of the Pregnant Man

It seems like a story fit for the pages of the National Enquirer—“Man Gives Birth to Baby!” While it seems sensational, there is every possibility that Thomas Beatie is telling the truth about his pregnancy.

Beatie, who was born female, had sex reassignment surgery to alter himself outwardly, but never altered his internal reproductive organs. Beatie says he became pregnant after artificial insemination and that the child is due in July. Some people claim that the baby is a hoax. What do you think? Does it matter if a child is born to a transgender parent? [ABC News]
