Thomas Beatie, a married man who used to be a woman, is pregnant with a baby girl
...“How does it feel to be a pregnant man? Incredible,” wrote Thomas Beatie, 34, from the Pacific North West of the United States...
...“Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am.”

I ought to read the title 3 times to get myself right and when I read the first few paragraphs, I was like... (speechless) and I continued to read on......Mr Beatie’s first successful insemination ended in a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy with triplets that required surgery, resulting in the loss of all his embryos and his right Fallopian tube. “When my brother found out about my loss, he said, ‘It’s a good thing that happened. Who knows what kind of monster it would have been?’,” he wrote...
..Dr Masterson said, however, that transgendered men face special health risks resulting from their sex change. “It’s really important that he doesn’t take any testosterone early on in the pregnancy and later on,” she said. “That can cause male-type characteristics in the female baby.” ...

‘Who knows what kind of monster it would have been?’ OMG for a brother to say that but LOL and it could be true; if he accidentally took a testosterone injection during his pregnancy and boooom - a baby girl with penis. So poor thing. (It's so irritating and troublesome to make all the "he"s and "his"s italic)
Nonetheless, what will the baby girl think when she has grown up? Will she be able to accept it? Will she be granted the birthright that she deserves? Will she be blessed by the community? She may have to face unnecessary discrimination from the society in the future like:
"Who is your mother?"
"My father"
"Do you get what I mean? Who is your mother?!"
"Can't you understand English, can you? I said my father!"
=.=
Alright, anyway, we are not in the position to judge other people. All the best to the Beatie family.
