The pregnant man .........WTF

[KevinP73]

So is it a man or is it a woman?

[pwd72s]

Keeping Oregon weird...this one lives in Bend

[Porsche-O-Phile]

Any doctor who allowed this should be immediately stripped of their license to practice medicine. This is just an abomination.

Like there aren't enough kids in orphanages or foster care right now, we have to go creating some sort of biological freak-show in order to create MORE kids?

Think of how f*ked up that kid is going to end up...

This is disgusting on all levels.

[dd74]

I'm fairly tolerant. But not this tolerant. Some people should not be left up to their own decisions. Whatever...

(S)He's a WOMAN.

Had a 'sex change' operation, sort of. Kept her female reproductive organs. She's already had one kid.

Had breasts removed. Takes hormones to grow facial/body hair.

[Paul K]

Life is gonna suck for the kid.

[livi]

How nice.

[BReif61]

If the person is pregnant, they are not male.

I dont' care how much facial hair they have, they're not male.

[M.D. Holloway]

I knew a girl with a lil bitty mustache - she was Italian, I think she still is Italian...

Exactly, but you can't sell as many papers with an accurate headline;

Extremely ugly pregnant chick!

[MT930]

Full On proof the world is going to HeII.

The problems the kid is going to have because of selfish adults with gender issues.

[Vipergrün]

....yet so many folks here sympathize with the No on Prop8 crowd...

My point is, where exactly do you draw the line? Let gays marry, but not have kids?

Just some food for thought.

BTW, I was a yes on Prop 8....

[sammyg2]

She's not a man, she's a freak in need of help.
IMNSHO some folks should not breed.

Like nearly everyone I've spoken to, I find this pregnant "man" thing a mess. I'll stop short of calling it an abomination but I understand why some would. As someone said above, if its pregnant its not a male. You can CALL it whatever you want, but its not a male. And I agree that some people are so selfish they can't see beyond their own desire for a child the short distance to the point where this child will be the butt of jokes and will live a confused early life....at a minimum. Why would you subject someone you LOVE to that? Because you are incapable of love?; you love your own wants more than this child? You want a child, ok I have zero issue with that. There's no sin in wanting a child no matter how Effed up your own existence is/has been. BUT..if you GOTTA do this...I don't get what the hell is up with taking pictures of yourself with your shirt off and a bulging belly? You wanna make ABSOLUTELY certain the freakishness is preserved for posterity? C'mon!

I think the newspapers, magazines, etc should have just quietly said, "Uh no. We'll take a pass on reporting this. We don't publish two-headed kitten pictures and we don't publish pregnant-man pictures either."

not exactly

there at least 4 levels of gender determination in humans -- AND they all have to work together properly to create a normal male or female

you have chromosmal, developmental (in utero), physiological/developmental up thru puberty etc.

this unfortunate person has medical issues

often, transgendered people report that they have "always" felt uncomfortable in their own skins, and if they elect to have a gender changing operation, experience a great feeling of relief

- the issue of whether it s a good idea to bear children is separate one of course.

I should have pointed out that transgendered medical issues have nothing whatsoever to do with being gay or homosexual

-- except the societal opprobrium

[JCF]

+1 on every post so far.

Pauls is a hoot.
What is it about Oregon anyway ????
Is it all that rain ???

Sure are an awful lot of sweet early cars there though.

BS.

Gender is biological. Gender identity is psychosexual. I have no issues at all with the transgender community. Nothing but love for humanity in my heart, but let's not distort biological reality in pursuit of tolerance.

[pwd72s]

The local press is treating this person as a sort of hero, or is it heroine?...I choose not to watch or read when this is the "story".
