What’s so weird about a pregnant man? Maybe you guys should get out more
If one thing is evident from all the hoopla over Thomas Beatie, the transgender pregnant man from Bend, it’s that transphobia is very much alive and tolerated, even in our progressive city that was called “a mecca for transsexuals” by Lori Sirotsky of the National Transgender Advocacy Coalition.
Beatie and his wife’s situation (his wife is sterile, hence the decision for him to carry the child) has been dissected and judged every which way since the national LGBT magazine The Advocate published an account of their struggle, penned by Beatie himself.
