MORE "PREG MAN" BULL

Again: Beatie is a FEMALE as long as that person has the internal organs of a female no matter what that person did to alter that person's external appearance!
Again: this LESBIAN couple are nothing more than a "circus freak show" and a huge embarassment to me and all other gay people.
Activists: Trans man's pregnancy did little to help causeThe "media circus" surrounding Thomas Beatie, the pregnant trans man who gave birth to a girl on June 29, has done little to help the transgender community in its effort to gain equal workplace and health care rights, according to an article in Salon. "The best thing that Thomas Beatie can do for the trans community is live his life as honestly as he can, and worry about what his immediate neighbors think of him, and how successful he is in his local community," said transgender policy adviser Jamison Green. "If people go back to accepting him as a man, that would be a big plus." Salon (7/3) , CBC.ca (7/4)

And Then There's The Alleged Pregnant Man

I have always hoped that people would accept me as me, a gay man.
And I've tried to do the same with transgender people, but I don't understand them any better than a straight person understands me.
Now we have this: a female-to-male transgender who CHOSE to keep her female internal organs while changing all of the external stuff.
[From what I've read, all transgender people go through hell financially, emotionally and physically changing EVERYTHING when making the leap from one gender to the other.]
In this Pregnant Man thing I see a person who KNEW/HOPED he/she would get all of this media attention and perhaps was hoping to make money off his/her mutilation of his/her body.
I find that incredibly sick and pathetic.

And then there's THIS LINK:

AND THEN THERE'S THIS ADDITIONAL COMMENT [after reading emails from others]:
If she/he is really convinced that she is a man trapped in a woman's body ... once she/he jumped genders and became a man ... he/she can no longer function as a woman including bearing children. Since he/she has chosen to bear a child after the gender-jump ... he/she is NOTHING MORE THAN A WEIRD CIRCUS SIDE SHOW!

I am very angry about this situation because back in the 90's when I was a gay activist, transgenders insisted on being in the GLB acronym even though they generally claimed they are not gay ... yeah, right - this couple are gay activists.

And since I am happily and proudly gay [a "G" in what's now the GLBT acronym] I'm taking great offense at this PG Man thing because I want absolutely nobody to associate me with THESE GAY PEOPLE.
