It really made me see how mean people are to judge this man for doing something to beautiful as this. So if you dont like that he is doing then dont listen, dont write dont comment. honestly, its not always about EVERYONE else it was anout HIM and what he WANTED!

Hope you happiness either way. Identity is in the eye of the beholder. Get out of the press as soon as possible. Sorry they found you. Don't let your life become a circus. There's a child involved.

A sex change operation DOES NOT CHANGE YOUR SEX. You can't just have surgery, wake up, and have changed your sex chromosomes. I honestly feel badly for this child who will have a lot to grapple with as she/he ages and has to deal with the ridicule of classmates for a choice her/his parents made.

I believe all fetuses should have the right to live!!

I mean if he still has a uterus then whats the prob? And as for pro-lifers being against the baby… 1. not all pro-lifers are die hard bible beaters who hate anything deviating from heterosexuality 2. as you said pro-lifers believe life begins at conception, this child has already been conceived so obviously pro-lifers would believe that the baby does deserve an equal right to life, even if the means by which the baby were conceived is against their beliefs.

It's not in any way against the natural course of childbirth, considering Thomas is a transsexual who kept his womb. What I would have difficulty with is a person who was born a man conceiving and giving birth. That just defies my logic.

The only thing I would be worried about is the male hormones in his system wreaking havoc with the embryo development, but from what I hear, that's taken care of.

Really, I wish them the best.
