Biologically, he’s a she and this is just a woman having a baby whatever her gender identity is.

Stop confusing people by telling them a man is having a baby. Even if he wants us to call him a him, he still has a uterus, X chromosomes and he is a she.

Lisa: Gender and sex are two different things; sex is biological, but gender is a sociological construction. It’s not incorrect to call this man a man, even if he is biologically female. Even biology isn’t as clear cut as you seem to want to believe: individuals can be born with both male and female reproductive organs (intersex), and sometimes hormone insensitivity or other disorders can lead to XY females (as was recently an issue in the olympics) or XX males.

Gender and sex and reproduction are tied together in interesting and sometimes unexpected ways, and that’s what makes articles like this newsworthy.

Virtually all individuals with intersex conditions are either sterile or infertile.

If this person identifies as male, who am I to say he is otherwise? Congrats to him and his partner. They look like a loving family.

Who’s pretending it’s a medical breakthrough? He identifies as a man, he’s pregnant and we usually congratulate newly pregnant people. It’s called MANNERS.

This is like saying a woman who suffered from Breast Cancer and had a double mastectomy is now considered a “pregnant man” I think this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I don’t care if he identifies as a man and lives as a man etc. he is in fact a WOMAN and there is nothing news worthy about a pregnant woman is there. Any one who thinks this is amazing needs to get out of underneath the rock they live under and wake up. Also, what are we teaching our children…we are now showing them that men can have babies, which is NOT TRUE! I was irritated when the 1st “pregnant man” came around because it is just a publicity stunt that these low lifes come up with!

Hey AC, do you use that “why not adopt” line when you meet heterosexuals who used IVF? I realize that those couples didn’t choose infertility, but honestly, neither did the transgendered people choose to be transgendered.

“Men don’t get pregnant.”
Says you and Lisa and everyone else who wants to deny this man the right to self-identify. Of course they couldn’t get married without the one remaining biologically female, but I just that just chalks up to they can’t have it both ways, eh? That knapsack really never gets heavy…

Says freaking science, which apparently only matters when we’re talking Darwinism. His gender identity and preference not withstanding, Scott Moore has a uterus, two X chromosomes and I’m assuming at least one other rather feminine attribute. I respect Scott Moore’s choice to live with Thomas and raise children, would support a civil marriage for their family but I don’t support redifining the word “man” to include people who can get pregnant and give birth.

On the plus side, though, this is someone who can quite safely avoid that whole breast-vs-bottle debate, right?

That’s not a Man, That’s a woman pretending to be a man. It’s still a woman regardless of what one thinks because of Genetics and DNA. The only known male species that can get pregnant is a Sea horse and s Sea dragon.

I am a transman who is legally married with 1 child left at home. I see both sides of this coin. However, I am not okay with the whole pregnant man agenda here! I understand if they want to have a child but why go public? Most people would never question a man’s big belly. It misrepresents the majority of transmen. Like most men, most of us have no desire to give birth! My wife has fertility issues but there is no way I would ever consider going that route! If this is for the purpose of education than the correct thing to say is pregnant transsexual man not pregnant man. Men including transman who take their hormones can not get pregnant. In my opion this doesn’t educate the public it adds more confussion to the mix. I hope it stops here.

God created humans to be male and female. God created the male and female sexual reproductive organs to together carry out the beautiful act of creating life. Look at nature. Males and females of all species are attracted to each other and form pairs for many reasons especially sexual ones. God intended for male and female to be together. This intent can be seen throughout all of creation. Society should treat lesbianism and transgenderism as the psychological disorders that they are! God does not create and individual and then place them in the wrong body. If you were born a woman God wants you to be a woman!

“The worlds second known pregnant man” is ridiculous. Anyone involved in trans and queer politics knows that trans guys have been having babies for years.. It happens all the time.
