Post by: Lise on Apr 06 08 09:05
Wow! Did you guys catch the story on the man who became pregnant and went on Oprah? No kidding. I don't even know what to think now.

Y'know.... though I sympthasized with the couple, I don't think they should be doing this. I mean, once you've decided to become a man, for goodness sake, stick to being one. Don't start becoming pregnant!!! It's just too weird.

"His" wife couldn't get pregnant but Thomas (the woman/man in question) has all "his" reproductive parts intact so technically he's still a woman. I guess they decided this was the way to go instead of adopting.

  Man, their kid(s) are gonna be so screwed up when they grow up.

I always find it hard to get my mind around these things.  The only thing I think I know for certain, is that it isn't a matter of right or wrong.  I have no reference to base any perspective on when it comes to having feelings or desire to be a gender that contradicts what my body IS.  I just can't sort that out.
