VIDEO: Pregnant Man Speaks: "This Is a Miracle"
Friday April 4, 2008


Thomas Beatie, the pregnant, trans-gendered 34-year-old, spoke out on The Oprah Winfrey Show Thursday, calling his pregnancy a "miracle."

His appeared on the show with his wife, Nancy.

He said his pregnancy was a "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."

Beatie, who was born female, lived as a woman until his 20s (he even competed in the Miss Teen Hawaii USA pageant). He later underwent gender reassignment surgery.

"I feel like I was meant to be exactly who I am today," he said.

The most important message, said Beatie: "Different is normal and love makes a family. And that's all that matters."
