maybe we have drawn the line on whats acceptable and what is not? im very tollerant on what people do or how they do it but i have to draw the line when it comes to a woman getting surgically altered to look like a man and then getting pregnant and still calling herself a man. sorry dude that is just wrong not matter what psychedelic universe you are tripping in.


How exactly does it hurt you? Its their body and they should be able to do whatever the fvck they want to do with it.

I am disgusted by the attitudes of most people in this thread. How on earth can you judge their skills as parents because one of them is transgendered?

Yes, this is an unusual story, but he has every right to have a child. That child is going to be more tolerant and accepting than most children. In my mind, that's a good thing.

As far as the whole "I'm confused about what gender s/he is!"... He's whatever gender he identifies as. He identifies as a man. There you go. True, most transgender female-to-male individuals don't want to go through pregnancy, as that is obviously associated with being a woman, but this man has every right to do as he pleases. As long as he and his wife love and care for the child, more power to them.

I've got no problem with that either, but you can't have it both ways. If he thinks he's a guy, then he shouldn't be having kids - his wife should.

They judge them because they want it both ways? Very few people care if you're a man or woman, but you can't have the cake and eat it too. If you're the one that wants to pregnant, than the whole spiel "I was always feeling like I was a guy in girl's body" goes out the window... nothing but BS.

and she has a vagina.

Having your breasts removed and taking testosterone doesn't make you a man. I guarantee you that she didn't start watching football, farting and playing with power tools.
