Thomas Beatie, the world's first pregnant man, will write a memoir about his experience.

Love Makes a Family: A Memoir of Hardship, Healing and
an Extraordinary Pregnancy
is set to hit stands September 30, Entertainment Tonight reported Thursday.

The book will chronicle Beatie's female-to-male gender reassignment surgery and later pregnancy.

Beatie (who once competed in the Miss Teen Hawaii USA pageant) gained national attention when he appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in April with his wife, Nancy.

He said his pregnancy was "human desire" and that he is "a person and I have the right to have my own biological child."

Being pregnant, said Beatie, did not make him feel more feminine.

"It doesn't make me want to go and shave my legs or something," he told Winfrey. "I'm a man, I just happen to be a pregnant man."
