'Pregnant Man' Gives Birth In US

Genetically, he's still a woman. In mind he's a man but biologically he's female.

I have no problem with people changing sex, each to their own. But I don't agree with the media saying he's the first man to give birth. Until scientists can genetically engineer the female reproductive system and transplant it into men, there never will be a first man to give birth.

But this is a woman. He hasn't had a full sex change so in my mind it's like another woman giving birth

Oh sugar, I got mixed up there.

Yes, strip it down to the bare bones and it's a woman giving birth.

It is a woman giving birth- which is a wonderful event to see and be part of. But this woman hasn't had the full surgery to make her a man just yet hence her having 2 children. So she is still biologically a woman living her life as a man.

How can his wife Nancy breastfeed the new baby she won't have any milk in her breasts, why not just bottle feed the baby like he did with the first. I've nothing against transgenders but he is doing more harm to his children than he would if he stayed a female until he had the children. How do they explain to the children when they're older how babies were born when they see Daddy and are told they came out of his tummy.

Sorry to say but those childen will need a lot of couch time with a counsellor as they will have a lot of confusing times ahead

Nancy breastfed the first child too. Apparently a woman can lactate even if she isn't pregnant by stimulating the nipple with the sucking action of a baby.

No me neither I thought a woman had to be pregnant to produce milk.
