Jo Ann Way explains the situation. "Thomas Beatie is a transgender male and he is reportedly twenty-two weeks pregnant. Thomas still has a vagina, but he's legally a male, so that means he would be a pregnant man, at least in some minds. He shares his life with his legal wife, Nancy. Thomas earlier gave a first person account to the Advocate on how he came to be pregnant with a baby girl.

Continuing: "He had his sex change ten years ago and at the time had his breasts removed so of course there will be no breast-feeding of the baby. Many people are curious, shocked and some are outraged but it seems a bit much to even care."

Thomas – born Tracy Lagondino said he and his wife are legally married because Beatie is legally a man. They plan to provide a happy home for their baby girl. "Love makes a family and that's all that matters," he said.
