Actually an infant can implant outside the uterus in either a male or female body, because the placenta, which is part of the fetal package, doesn’t give a damn where it implants. It’ll implant on something, never mind what. So yes, a man can gestate a child, but only at great risk to his own health. Sure hope he doesn’t expect Medicaid to pay f or this. I object to this kind of nonsense for the sake of getting media attention, and fulfilling some sick fantasy of being like a woman. Forget it, guy. You’re not a woman even if you produce a full term baby and live through the experience. You missed all the really fun parts, like cramps and always worrying about being raped and possibly even morning sickness. To say nothing of menopause. You’re just a sick wacko with way to much disposable time on your hands. Get a job already.

I think that they have the right to celibrate like any other typical AMERCIANS.It just amaze me, how can a man have a child?I respect his decisions,not feeling comfortable in your own skin that doesnt mean that you cant get a new one:it simple means:are you going to be HAPPY in the NEW one?
i respect you and i wish you and your familiy BEST of luck………..
your NEW baby is going to be a LIGHT to the WORLD AND TO YOU

My opinion is that if this person was a woman and still has their woman parts…. Then this person is NOT a pregnant man. They’d be a pregnant woman dressed as a man…

Hey, Alex, it’s your blog (which I LOVE, btw). And I don’t wanna belabor this, but I read that article and didn’t get any insinuation. I must be way gay. Woo hoo!

My grip is firm, thanks. Chortle.

Anyway, my issue wasn’t with The Advocate itself but with the article I was citing in this post, which insinuated that by appearing in “gay rights magazine, The Advocate” that Thomas Beatie is gay. Which is incorrect. Like I said, it doesn’t add or take away from Mr. Beatie’s situation, but it’s misleading and assumes that all people who identify as queer are simply “gay.”

Since you talk about “supporting and caring people” in your comments (and I assume you consider yourself among that group, on this issue), I have to take exception with your point #1, particularly how it “infuriates” you. Why should this story running in The Advocate upset you, particularly if Beatie is not a “gay man”? The Advocate is not just for gay men, but also for lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues. For better or worse, LGBT all comes in one package in everything except porn. So I don’t give a flying frijol whether you’re proving or disproving Beatie’s gayness or gay-maleness…he sure is transgender, no? (And if he’s not even that, then I’m as annoyed with his pseudo-hipsterness as you are. But I ain’t “infuriated” with The Advocate. Get a grip, chica.)
