OK, I can’t help it I HAVE to write about this one girls! A man (I use the term loosely) gets pregnant because HE is NOT a man, he is a woman who chose to have people make him look like a man! There is a difference between a man and a woman who chooses to act and look like a man.
My question is….is She, or He as is the term for this person, now taking male hormones? If so, what is the risk of that to an unborn baby? I know when I was expecting I didn’t want to put anything unnatural in my body.
So will (s)he be able to endure labor pains as a woman or will he not be able to “take it like a man”?! That is the part I want to see! And if (s)he does spit this child out in a maternity ward, will the baby be out in 10 seconds because of pushes backed a little bit with the help of testosterone? Hey there is a thought for all of you WOMEN who have actually endured labor and birth. Maybe they could beef us up with a little testosterone for the next delivery so we can give some hefty pushes and pop those little cradle inhabitants out in record time.
I have to say WOW, I think some lines are blurred here! I am not sure which ones though because it hurts me too much to think about it!! I thought (s)he wanted to be a man? Does this mean all men are going to start having babies? Yeah right! They have nothing on us Girly Girls!
I read into this situation as well. I have a one year old and I feel you on what you say. After some investigation I found out that this man/woman’s partner is not able to have children of her own. When s(he) started getting treatment they took that into consideration since they have been together 10 years and want to have kids. I also found out that since s(he) found out that s(he) was pregnant, s(he) stopped taking the hormones so it would not affect the baby. What I am wondering though and still can’t find out is who impregnanted him/her? Was it a sperm donor? weird.
I’m concerned about the hormones too. Most everything develops during the first trimester, including the reproductive organs. It makes me shudder to think what might happen to either a baby boy or a girl to have too much testosterone in the first weeks of pregnancy. I see that the other commenter said that this woman stopped taking the hormones when she found out she was pregnant, but I’d be concerned that was a little late. Also, I’m wondering how she could get pregnant with a man’s level of testosterone in her system. Hopeful the little baby is okay, but concerned he or she is not….
I am sorry I don’t see how this person is a man! Just because he got rid of his boobs and has facial hair. I know a lot of women that could qualify that way! This person still has a vagina, might look like a man, but in my book is still a woman.
Interesting point of Arleene. I think about it this way: what makes us boys or girls? Genitals and hormones, not to mention how we define ourselves. Well, Thomas does have a vagina, but his hormone levels are similiar to a regular man, isn’t it?
In my view, he is a man.
And I don’t feel worried about the baby, doctors know, bette then us, what’s important for the baby’s health.
