    What will they tell the children? Don't accept less than five figures to appear on Larry King.

    This is not a pregnant man. This is a pregnant woman. Having your breasts removed and growing facial hair does not make you a man. Biologically, this is a woman giving birth to a child. Big deal.

    I'm exasperated by this couples' claim that he is a "pregnant man". He is by all biological aspects a woman, who at this point has merely cut out her breast tissue. Even though he feels he is a man "trapped in a woman's body", there is nothing newsworthy about someone with ovaries, a uterus and XY chromosomes carrying a baby. I feel like we've all just entered a Ringling Brothers tent and plucked down our hard earned money to gawk at something that's been billed as something much more extreme than it really is.

    Exactly. When I first saw the clip of Thomas on Oprah, and the stupified GASPS!!!! from all of the silly cows in the audience I wanted to hit something. (Mainly the silly cows in the audience).

    Diverse and unconventional families rock. But these people do not. They are just media whores who are sensationalizing their situation and family in an attempt to highlight their "wackiness", which in fact is not even very strange if you know the details and don't immediately respond to the "Pregnant Man!!!" headlines. If they felt the need to share, I feel like they could have found a far better way to do it, within a more selective media outlet. I just feel badly for those kids, because these people won't stop now... they'll be back on television throughout the entire pregnancy and afterwards again.

    Someone should be interviewing Larry about the seedy workings of his sex life and why six wives have already fled the scene. That's probably a pretty unconventional and sensational story.

    ZOMG! You didn't show the best part! Larry asks how they have sex and the pregnant man talks about the hormones enlarging his clitoris! And Larry basically reiterates and says "You have a clitoris that looks like a penis" and it is so awkward and gah!


    I never, ever thought I'd hear Larry talk about a penis-like clitoris. And I wish I never did.

    Poor old man forgot the follow-up questions though. "Do you feel pretty?" and "Do you feel witty?" would really have fleshed out the interview.

    What I don't understand is if "he" is married to a woman how is he getting pregnant? Is this some weird open relationship thing or is he like gassing up at the sperm bank?

    The vagueness is part of the sensationalization of the story. The media is enjoying only giving simplistic and usually inaccurate info... "First Pregnant Man Evah!" sort of stuff. It's so obnoxious on the part of everyone involved.

    I feel sorry for this couple, for they will be a magnet for all those who hate a world that doesn't conform to their image.


    Thankfully is Portland, Oregon mostly very open minded.

    I do not understand "becoming a man" if you want to be pregnant. I do not understand being pregnant if you want to be a man.

    Why does anyone want to put their private babymaking shenanigans on national television? Screw the Duggars and their 37 children, piss off John & Kate, and go away pregnant man-woman. No one cares. It's all about money and sharing their beautiful and unique stories. Blech.


    Thomas Beattie and his wife will have a new show on TLC before the second kid is born.

    I like big world little people or whatever that show is called because I think I'm learning about the challenges of little people and how the family operates and they're a little dysfunctional and a lot messy so I think it's kinda fun.


    But the Duggars and Jon and Kate I really could do without. Bring me more Jeff Lewises.
