Thomas Beatie Is Not A Pregnant Man
Thomas Beatie, the man who became pregnant, is pregnant again.
It's his...her?...life, and however he...she?...wants to live it, as long as he...she?...isn't doing anything illegal that negatively impacts or endangers others is up to him. Her? I'm a "live and let live" type of person.
The only point I'm tired of hearing is that he is a "pregnant man." He was born a female. He still has female reproductive organs. It doesn't matter that he has a slight beard and mustache, that he had his breasts removed and that he has armpit hair. He is not a "pregnant man."
Beatie says that in his mind he is a man. That's fine, he can think and believe that. I may want to believe that I'm the King of England. But, as the character Nice Guy Eddie (played by the late Chris Penn) in "Reservoir Dogs" says, just because someone tells "you he started the goddamn Chicago fire, now that don't necessarily make it fucking so! "
Beatie is not a pregnant man. He's a biological woman, with some facial hair, no breasts, who has complete and functional female reproductive glands. Please, let's stop referring to Beatie as a "pregnant man."
