The ‘Miracle’ Of Birth

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

So, a transgender man is pregnant.  It’s all over the news like it’s some sort of an amazing feat.

This ‘man’ still has the reproductive system of a woman.  Now ‘he’s’ pregnant.

Why is this news?  Why are people fascinated by this?  This woman gets her breasts removed, grows some facial hair and starts living as a man.  But she still has a vagina, uterus and all that other stuff women have that are used to make babies.

Technically, she’s still a woman.

Women get pregnant.

It’s not some scientific breakthrough, not some freak of nature.  It happens all the time.  That’s why the world still has people. 

I don’t understand what the big deal is.

Anyway, here’s the link to an article about it.
