If this person is pumped full of artificial hormones in order to have male-characteristics and be legally "a man", I wonder what the health of the baby will be, being exposed to all of these unnatural hormone levels? Weird.

Eta: I say this because I read a book called "All She Wanted", by Aphrodite Jones, which was the story of Teena Brandon (i.e. the "Boys Don't Cry" movie). When Teena's Mom was pregnant with her, the Mom did take a short course of some type of hormone therapy (I can't remember what for...) and I'm convinced that the fetus of Teena being exposed to that adversely affected her.

Just out of curiously, what led you to have "many many friends" who are transgendered? As just as a statistical matter, having many many transgendered friends seems like it would be something that few people could claim, and I'm curious about the circumstances. It seems like it would be tied to working in a particular field or, of course, meeting the friends of friends in the context of supporting groups maybe.

hee hee. Inebriated and posting about transgendered people on GreekChat, who would have thunk?

I don't work in a field that would bring me into contact. My closest contact is a family member. I can think of at least a dozen or so...some I would consider more "close" than others. Some are "friendly acquaintances" (as I would go out with them to have drinks after work). I have met them through other friends who are transgendered as well.

No they aren't all "gay". I actually know two male=>female transexuals who are lesbian lovers :).

They are all people just trying to fit their bodies to their "souls".

You should seem me when I get high... That's even more hilarious.

He'll be on Oprah tomorrow.

It's a Girl for the 'Pregnant Man'

I hope they're sure this one's a girl.

What's interesting is that it was a natural delivery. :eek:

He's still physically a woman.

thank you! it really bugs me that that attention grabber is billing herself as a man who is pregnant. as we say in the south,"that dog don't hunt"!

Yeah, I mean it's just a chick.

I think it's a new low for Barbara Walters...and Oprah. This is the stuff Jerry Springer is made of.

I have to wonder also what effect those hormones will have on the first baby. According to what I have read, "he" did not go back on the hormones after the birth of the first baby. If so, how is it he still have facial hair?

Personally, I feel sorry for the children of this couple. Can you imagine the ridicule they are going to face growing up?

This needed to be said.
