Pregnant man tells Oprah: It's a miracle
Thomas Beatie is genetically a woman, but went through testosterone treatments and breast removal/reconstruction surgery to live as a transgendered male. Beatie is recognised by the state of Oregon as a man and is legally married to wife Nancy.
But Beatie never had the female sexual organs removed in the hopes of someday having a pregnancy. That day has come. It was accomplished through sperm from a bank. Beatie's doctor insists it's a normal pregnancy, with testosterone treatments having been halted two years ago and that the hormone levels are normal. This is actually Beatie's second pregnancy; the first was ectopic and required the Fallopian tubes to be removed. The baby is a little girl. I hope all goes well.
