Wrong, Bad, Immoral, Unethical, Unimaginable...all words probably associated with the title "Man Pregnant"...It's a true story, one that is in some way or another is rocking the world. Who would have thought right? Wrong, i mean come on a pregnant man when has that ever happened. It may seem hard to understand, men cant naturally carry a child (sorry guys you get to miss out on that joy in life)...But the pregnant man really isn't a man, well technically he is, but really he once was a woman. Get my point? He is Transgender, but has only had top surgery...
When i really start to think about this the first thought that i get is what a great thing this is, not only for science but for the family. His wife can't carry a baby so he has made a change in his life to make their life together that much more fulfilled. It truly is a great sacrifice, it would be hard enough to come to terms with not feeling like your in the right body and having the guts to make the changes to feel better about yourself, but to actually reverse certain parts of that drastic change so you can bring even more joy to your life is a huge step. The sad part in this story though is the fact that not everyone will look at it with such caring and open eyes.
Being transgender is already a big deal now a days. Heck anything related to GLBT is often black and white when it comes to opinions, grey is not really an option. Love us or hate us - maybe tolerate us (but that is still hate to some extent) is the way it tends to go. this man (and yes he is man despite what people will say about him not being truly a man without having bottom surgery) is not only bringing light to a way of life, but he is also raising the question of how accepting society can be. Many will give this a laugh, or a cruel word, and that is fine if its truly how you feel, but think for a moment - just one - of anytime in your life when someone has put you down...dont tell me it has never happened, we have all been laughed at, called names, talked about...take that feeling, that pain you felt, that lump in your throat, and multiply it by 10...got it? alright well every bad thing you might think about this father to be is making him feel the same way, even if he isn't right in front of you hearing your words. you are not alone in your displeasure with the situation there are tons more out there, and they have voiced their opinions through comments on the numerous articles, to being asked about their feelings on camera, or interviewed for an article...
It's okay if i havent convinced you that at the end of the day that a pregnant man is not something to laugh at and poke fun of. It doesnt matter all that much to me what you think... Just try to remember though, it shouldn't matter who you love or the lifestyle you choose to life, what does matter is the fact that we all the ability to love and we should share it with those around us. I'm not siting beside you right now telling you how wrong some of the things you do are, so why should get the right to the same thing to someone you don't know and who has done nothing to harm you?

So, he was originally a girl, had top surgery, is now technically a boy, and he has a wife? Is that how it goes? He is havig a baby because his wife can't?
