For the past two weeks, headlines about a pregnant man have appeared in many mainstream media outlets. The world is already a confusing place without the mass media adding to the confusion.
Thomas Beattie was born a female. Due to her gender identity crisis, she identifies more with being a man.
Some women who struggle with gender identity are satisfied with cutting their hair, wearing men’s clothing and affecting male mannerisms. This one decided to take it a step further by taking male hormones which ceases menstruation and causes male characteristics such as excess facial hair and a deep voice in women.
Beattie also had surgery to remove her breasts but left her female reproductive organs intact. This makes her a female with no breasts.
When Beattie and her “wife” decided to have a child, Beattie stopped taking the male hormones. The only man involved in this situation that I can see is the one who donated the sperm.
Gender identity crisis is a mental disorder no matter how you look at it. Sure, it’s politically correct to refer to Beattie as a man, but the bottom line is that she is a biological female. No amount of male hormones is going to change that fact.
