A transsexual woman who has undergone reconstructive surgery and testosterone therapy, and who calls herself a "man," claims to be five months pregnant with a baby girl.
Oregon resident Thomas Beatie told "The Advocate" magazine that carrying a daughter for her wife Nancy is an "incredible" experience.
The article carried a photo showing Beatie with an enlarged midsection, purportedly the result of being pregnant. Neighbors, however, think otherwise.
"Quite frankly, I think it's a hoax," neighbor Ron Schlieper told KATU News in Bend, Ore. "I saw him a few days ago and he didn't look like that," he said, referencing the photo posted on the Advocate.com Web site. "He was walking down the street with who I thought was his wife, Nancy, and I don't recall seeing a belly. If that (picture was taken) a month ago, he would have been much bigger just a few days ago."
Schlieper said Beatie's wife said she was pregnant, KATU News reported. Another neighbor said the couple left their house every week for fertility treatments in Portland.
Beatie, born a woman, has had a chest reconstruction and testosterone therapy, but decided to keep her female reproductive organs. Beatie claims to have become pregnant through artificial insemination.
This Fox story hasn't fallen into the politically correct reporting mode favored by LA media who keep referring to this person as a "man". However, that's all you hear on LA TV despite the admission that it still had female reproductive organs (I prefer the term "it" since it is clearly confused about what it is).
Had it called itself a weasel, would the LA media have gone along with that description too?
