What i don't understand is why couldn't they adopt, or get a surrogate? Doesn't this whole pregnancy thing negate the fact that this person wanted to be identified as a man.

To me, if you want to be identified as a man, then you should act like a man. Men don't get pregnant.
From what I understood from the article, he did get gender reassignment surgery, however they left the internal organs, that is what I meant by superficially, he is a man.

Adopting is hard enough when you are simply gay, adoption agencies would make it nearly impossible for a transgendered person to adopt.

And the statement that men don't get pregnant, it isn't impossible biologically, theoretically a man could have an implanted pregnancy in the abdominal cavity, it would act like an ectopic pregnancy.
