Pregnant Man Does It Again
That guy who caused a big ruckus by getting pregnant is ready to cause a smaller ruckus: He's pregnant again! Thomas Beatie, a transsexual man, is again expecting, Barbara Walters announced on The View. Beatie & fam will appear on 20/20 tomorrow, where they will fall victim to Walters' preternatural sense of exposé. According to Jezebel:
she said that while she was speaking to Thomas, she got this weird feeling and out of nowhere asked, "Are you pregnant again?" And Thomas replied yes!

Why is it news that a transman with a uterus can conceive a child?

That's a good point. I think the interesting thing to me is that a person who identifies as a man is taking on this role that is so closely identified with being a woman. So it starts an interesting conversation about bearing children and its relation to femininity and all that jazz. This guy is subverting the norm, which I think is cool.
