Via Grinding:

'The Advocate is running a first person report on Thomas Beatie, a transgender, legal male, who is now pregnant through home insemination. Beatie writes:

'"Sterilization is not a requirement for sex reassignment, so I decided to have chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy but kept my reproductive rights."

'His wife, Nancy had to undergo a hysterectomy and is unable to carry a child, but as they wanted to have a family Beatie took the job in hand.'

And I repeat: Wow.

Wow.

This made me grin, even reading about the difficulties he and his wife have undergone. Human beings are amazing.

On another note: The post after yours on my flist links to the same story, but with the title "Fantasy come true?" [for silly little girl yaoi fans who like mpreg]. Uuuh, no. I responded that transsexuals are frightening and 'icky' to the girlies who idealize gay men, and besides, even if they can accept that Thomas Beatie is male despite his bits, he's still hetero.

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Yeah they are.

And yeah, the majority of yaoi fans don't seem like they'd be behind this. Some of them? Absolutely, but not most.

Yanno, I just hope to god he got off the testosterone before insemination. Screwing with your hormones while pregnant is a horrifically bad idea. Good luck to em!

[wolven.livejournal.com]

Oh, absolutely. He had to stop taking the testosterone in order to start producing progesterone and estrogen, again.

And of the ones that'd be supportive, there would be a lot of transsexuals. XD

Yup :)
