Thomas Beatie, the man who gained fame by giving birth to a baby girl with his wife, Nancy, is expecting again. He told Barbara Walters that this baby is due on June 12, almost a year after his daughter, Susan, was born. Congratulations to the growing family.

Congratulations. Although this is definitely false advertising.
1Gee, that was quick!
2SHE IS NOT A MAN, NEVER WAS, NEVER WILL BE. I WISH THE MEDIA WOULD STOP STATING THAT. YES! I AM SHOUTING.... I feel sorry for those children and the confusion they will have to live with. The media, Print and otherwise should be ashame of themselves for encouraging this person (woman)....
3Shouldn't it be the "wife's" turn?
4shes not a man! Congrats to her though.
5I totally agree BLAG...this is not a man and the media does need to stop saying it is. While a baby is a wonderful thing, I think that they should be thinking about those children and the strange confusing situation they are putting them in.
6This confused woman is one of the most infuriating people on the face of this planet. I wish she would just crawl under the rock from which she came. Stop pretending! and be the lesbian THAT you are... WRONG OR RIGHT!
7Thanks Blag, I feel the same way. It's SOOOO effing stupid!!!!!!!!!
8Way to exploit yourselves and your kids! It disgusts me.
9RenSis - LOL
10BLAG - I total agree.
Yay. More media whoring!
I'm glad they're having their kids their way and all, but they need to get over themselves.
11I agree with Greggie... I'm all for trans parents having kids, but it seems like this couple is more about publicity than about taking care of the little ones.
12it really DOES seem like they're just media whoring... that's exactly what my first thought was Greggie. And that's a shame for the babies.
13Gross.
LiLsugar, let this be the last post and picture of this disgusting "person" you can do a blurb when SHE has the second money maker but dont let it be a big post and picture.
14i wonder how the kids are going to grow up and say my dad had me! its like traumatic for kids to see this .example a little girl went to her mom and said "mom the prince din't marry a princess why did he marry another prince?", is like what kind of society are we becoming!
15I agree with cherrygirl. Have these women thought about the ridicule their children will be faced with? I just think this is very selfish coming from two women who have endured the same ridicule they are bestowing on their children! I'm in no way against any person's sexuality, and I will teach my children to be accepting of everyone no matter their preference, but not every parent will do the same! Seriously, in most states, gay marriage is still illegal! What does that preach to children?
16Everyone needs to stop worry about how confused their children are going to be....it's not your business. There are so many different types of families now days that as long as there is love in a home what more should one ask for?
17I agree with Caterpillar - let's be the leading example in not giving this "man" the attention he so pathetically seeks.
18This household has just a little bit more than just "love", let's not forget, a video camera, a boom mic, a makeup artist and a publicist. And, now a whole library of interviews from Barbara Walters, to Matt Lauer, to Oprah Winfrey...kaching
19I'm certain I'll catch a pounding for this, but these have to be the two most self involved, narcissistic people I've ever seen. The pc blackmail is astonishing. They don't even care what the children will have to deal with. It pisses me off.
20shame on the Media for encouraging her...May God have mercy on us all...I have now said my peace.
21This is in humane and disgusting. I don't understand what this world is coming too. But whatever, its their decision.
22holdoll, they made it our business for one, and the "many different types of family" mantra is patronizing. Hell, my family would make Obama's look monotone in color and language.
23A family needs more than just love. They don't need a mom and a dad and a white picket fence, but living on love alone ain't gonna cut it. By that belief, it's ok to abuse your kids, as long as have love in the house as well.
24cinque i agree.. the poor kids when they start school. all there going to do is live a lie. would the "wife"say she birth them? or will the children bring up their own past? or will the father/mother/ tell them???
sick sick sick...
25With as much as Thomas makes sure "he" stays in the spotlight, the kids won't live a lie. They'll know everything, along with the rest of us. And all their schoolmates will know every single detail of their life. That's love.
26one last comment in reference to holdoll's comment!
Imagine this couple having a boy. Okay, now this little boy tells mommy and "daddy" that he wants to grow up and have a baby like daddy did. "Well sweetie, you're a boy and boys can't have babies. Daddy use to be a girl but felt like a man, so daddy had a doctor turn him into a man but because he still had his female parts, he was able to get pregnant." -Little boy-"Well then I'll have the doctor turn me into a girl so I can have a baby like daddy did".
27NOW WHAT? (of course the explanation wouldn't be so factual, but you see where I'm coming from) Can lots of love explain to a little boy why daddy could have a baby but he can't!
wow...what a hypocrite!
28He's now obviously doing it for some money and attention!
He's a hypocrite even claiming he wanted to be a man. He specifically kept his uterus so that he had the option of bearing children. That's not sexual reassignment.
29exactly greggie. That's how I always saw it when I first heard about this.
30This is a woman who to went crazy telling people she was a "man", took pills, found a woman to love, walks like a man, talks like one, ect. yet keep her uterus and has a baby!? A baby..one of the main things that make a woman..a woman!
Its ridiculous.
While I have no issues with transgendered people in general or with couples of various orientations having children, I agree with the majority here that this person is not a man at all. Not only will it be confusing and hard on their children, which I think is incredibly selfish, but I think it makes acceptance for all transgendered people more difficult as this is totally contrary to the whole process.
31A LOT of gender identity issues with that guy (yes, guy), but whatever. Not my life, not my kids.
My only complaint is that since he is technically still female they shouldn't get to be an exception for gay marriage. That's completely unfair to the rest of the gay community.
32I was absolutely speachless. One child and we all thought this was beautiful, different, uniquie. You must think, the world is harsh and judgemental. You are opening your childred up to a whole new level of torture. If you wish to continue having children, do this like everyone else and limit the announcement to friends and family, not the entire world. I feel for what these children will have to go through.
33We didn't all think the first pregnancy was beautiful and unique. It was a baby growing in a uterus, not a medical miracle.
34who, in this day and age, names their kid Susan? that's a mom's name.
oh yah, and like everyone else...this isn't a man! she is, however, turning her body into a baby-making machine...it sure hasn't been long since the first baby...little wee adorable baby SUSAN (?!?!?!)
35i think it be different if he kept his/her mouth shut because kids are cruel, my son has a cross eye and kids can be mean, can you imagine something as severe, and the whole world knows so there is no shielding these kids, had he kept it discrete his kids probably would have never know the parents could have continued living their lie.
its beautiful to welcome a child and everyone that truly wants one and is capable of caring for it should be blessed, not in this public way.
36I am relieved that most of you seem to think this whole topic is gross, and that LilSugar should avoid giving any more attention to this media-whoring person who is indeed a woman, even if she has reinvented herself as a man.
If she wants to badly to be a man, she should really refrain from doing the number one female thing in the world, namely giving birth to a child.
37I don't care how these two want to have children or manage their family. It just irks me that the media goes on and on about "a man having a baby" when it's just a woman having a baby. I'm all for people sorting out their gender issues and doing what they please, but if you have a uterus capable of growing another human being, you're a woman, not a man. That's just the way it goes. The hoopla is pure sensationalism.
38she is not a man!O God....
39"If she wants to badly to be a man, she should really refrain from doing the number one female thing in the world, namely giving birth to a child."
exactly!
40Bella said it best
"I'm all for trans parents having kids, but it seems like this couple is more about publicity than about taking care of the little ones."
I have no issue with them having children, but life is going to be hard enough for these kids (Kids are just CRUEL to other kids in seemingly NORMAL families) without adding this factor to it. Kids won't look at whether it's right, wrong or otherwise. It's different and they'll glom onto that fact and make the childrens' lives a living hell.
41absolutely.freaking.disgusting.
42i am flat out SICK of people referring to this THING as a man! YUCK! what a shame. God bless those children!
43WHAT THE F*CK? I'm sorry, but if you have female parts, you are still a woman so the idea of "the pregnant man" is misleading. I think she is actually a lesbian, who considers herself/himself a male in order to fit the typical parental mold. They could raise their child(ren) whatever way they want, but "Thomas" is still a woman IMO.
44Thie thing is, the way they put out in public, EVERYONE is going to know these parents are not "typical" and these poor kids are going to suffer the consequences. If they were just quiet about it and went about their business, maybe not everyone would notice and they would just think Thomas is an effeminate man.
I have to say, though, that their daughter (Susan?) is a cutie.
45ITA californiagirl.
to me, all because you "LIVE" as a "MAN" does NOT make you one! i could go cut my hair short, tape my boobs down and say "i'm a guy" but as long as i have breasts, a vagina, etc..i am STILL a woman. "thomas" needs some form of INTENSE therapy.
disgusting.
46this world is sick. dudes with penises are walking around calling themselves women. they are competing on top model. wearing makeup. dating men. women are living as "MEN" yet getting pregnant. earth to thomas "MEN" CANNOT get pregnant. ugh...im done.
47Whoa, what's with all the hate?! I agree being so public about this isn't a great idea, but considering the media these days it would have got out there anyway. What is really going to screw up the kids is when they are old enough to read what all the haters are saying about their parents.
48What's really going to screw these kids up is having a confused parent who is a woman when it's convenient for shim!
49its not hate to say its disgusting, its just an observance. I dont hate Her i just think she needs to go away.
IF they read any negativity about thier parents? still the parents fault.
