"Pregnant Man"

Hello,
Here we go again! Heard something that's unbelievable, until I got the entire story on Oprah. When first hearing of a man pregnant, I knew it wasn't possible and God didn't create men to bare children. Learned that Thomas Beatie, a transgender man who is five months pregnant said today that" he had always wanted to have a child and considers it a miracle". Thomas who was once a teenage beauty queen said,"It's not a male or female desire to have a child it is a human desire". This guy/gal is 34, an lives in Oregon with his wife Nancy. Thomas was born a woman but decided to become a man ten years ago. He began taking testosterone treatment, had breast surgery to remove glands and flatten his chest,and kept his reproductive organs because he wanted to have a child one day. Nancy said, she inseminated him with a syringe, using sperm purchased from a sperm bank. Now that is about the jest of the story. Will America accept this? Yes/No, what can we do about how people live their lives. Thomas might be known as the first man pregnant,but he won't be the last. Wonder what's next, you can never tell these days.
