Thomas Beatie is the world’s first pregnant man. He is not a natural man but a transgender, who married legally to a woman, Nancy. And now, he is pregnant with 23 weeks and the baby will be due in this July.

He stopped taking testosterone injections and got his menstrual cycle again that allows him to conceive. This is his second attempt to get healthy pregnancy where he failed on the first attempt.

Beatie writes in The Advocate:

“Our situation sparks legal, political, and social unknowns. We have only begun experiencing opposition from people who are upset by our situation. Doctors have discriminated against us, turning us away due to their religious beliefs. Health care professionals have refused to call me by a male pronoun or recognize Nancy as my wife. Receptionists have laughed at us. Friends and family have been unsupportive; most of Nancy’s family doesn’t even know I’m transgender.”

Whether you support the couple’s decision to have a child, I’d still say, it’s cool…
