Pchan 5,162 Report post Posted July 4, 2008 http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7488894.stm An American man who was born female but underwent gender realignment surgery, has given birth to a female baby, US media have reported. Thomas Beatie, 34, is legally male but kept his female reproductive organs after having breast surgery to remove glands and flatten his chest. Both Mr Beatie and his daughter are reported to be doing well in a hospital in Bend, Oregon. He was inseminated using sperm from an anonymous donor. The birth was natural, a source at St Charles Medical Center in Bend told ABC News, and took place on Sunday. According to some reports, Mr Beatie had had a Caesarean section. Former model Mr Beatie, who sports a wispy beard, made headlines around the world when he revealed in April that he was pregnant. He told chat show host Oprah Winfrey it had been his dream to one day have a child. "I opted not to do anything with my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day," he said. Mr Beatie grew up in Hawaii as Tracy Lagondin and was a Girl Scout, model and finalist in a teenage beauty pageant. He began to live as a man when he was in his 20s and officially changed his gender, he told People magazine. He has been married for five years to wife Nancy. Mr Beatie's obstetrician, Dr Kimberly James, told Oprah Winfrey in April: "This baby is totally healthy. This is what I consider a normal pregnancy." I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zepling 100 Report post Posted July 6, 2008 I'm a little bummed that they didn't save a life and adopt a needy child. But most 'normal' people would rather have children of their 'own' too so I guess I can't fault them for not adopting. As for caesarean, it really isn't fair to call it 'unnatural.' If it has to be done, then it must be done. In this case, it had to be done. I was born through c-section and so were all of my brothers as well as my mother and her sister. C-sections have been performed around the world for hundreds of years (that we know of) and for various reasons; including elective. Does the method of birth really matter? Congratulations to the happy couple. I'm sure they'll be great parents.

HKofsesshoumaru 673 Report post Posted July 7, 2008 I had to have a c section because both my life and my daughter's were on the line, so I didn't get a choice. I didn't want one, and I'm not too thrilled to be getting another one, but.. I give props to any woman who can birth naturally.

Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted July 7, 2008 c sections are thousands of years old When medically necessary go for it. I think doc's perform them too often and unnecessarily. I'm a firm believer that having a baby should be labor, it should hurt like a mutherfucker. Pain is a fantastic motivator and after one birth experience most intelligent women think long and hard before becoming a baby pez dispenser Look at the flowers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
