I know, this is sort of old news. However, this whole thing is bullshit. This "pregnant man" is not a man, it is a women. They can use the word "he" and "him" as much as they want, but this person has and will always have two X chromosomes. Being male and female should always be determined based upon chromosomes; if you don't have a Y chromosome, you are not a dude, period. Also, I feel this "pregnant man" did all of this for the celebrity, she (yes it is a she) is doing this to be an attention whore. The public did not need to be aware of this, if they were not, the child could have had much more of a normal life. I'm sure this child will be picked on enough in school, to give kids the 'your mom has a beard' thing is going to make this child's life hell.
I could take a bunch of female hormones, stop growing facial hair and perhaps get some female-like breasts, but no matter how much I appear to be female, I would never be. I understand this women feels like a man on the inside, but she is and forever will be a female. For the media to promote this as a 'pregnant man' was done only for the ratings. They deceived the public into thinking that a man was actually pregnant. All we have here is a female that took testosterone. I do worry however that the screwed up hormone levels in this women will have negative consequences on the baby psychologically, and physiologically. This couple honestly should have chosen adoption (at least in my opinion), but I suppose more power to them, I just hope the child turns out living a relatively normal life.
First of all, atheists are supposed to be smart and science-minded. Study yourself up and chromosomes and the various combinations and sexual expressions of each. There are many XY people born looking female on the outside (and vice versa)- and live happy normal lives oblivious to the fact that they are XY (or XX or XXY or XYY, etc.). Sure, they are usually infertile, but clueless nevertheless about their genes... and so is the government on their chromosomal status. The thing with Thomas Beatie is that you have no idea what his chromosomes are- have you checked it? Regardless, he is legally male and hence the first on the planet having been pregnant and given live birth. He is also legally wed to his wife in a hetero marriage- also a first of its kind. This is a huge thing socially... gender concepts, roles, and such relations. His kids are beautiful and healthy. You are obviously insensitive to trans people. How dare you wish they adopted. Say that to any other hetero couple and you'd be slapped. Also- Beatie did not profit from media exposure. He, in fact, was exposed without consent. He made best of the situation to standup for what he and his family believe in. I'm an atheist too. I'm appalled by your position on this subject matter.

ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about? Atheists are suppose to not believe in a God, that is it.
"There are many XY people born looking female on the outside (and vice versa)"
Not my point at all bud. This isn't even about hermaphrodites (or any other genetic abnormalities), this "pregnant man" was born a women with women parts and gave birth..which is nothing special. You cannot deny that a normal male has one X chromosome and one Y, and a normal female two Xs. In short, you are a dumb-ass...your mind is so open that your brain fell out.
Are you "normal"?
ReplyDeleteDo you think Thomas Beatie was born "normal"? Like I said, you have no idea what kind of chemistry or chromosomal makeup Beatie has.
If you define "normal" as something commonly found, then the norm would be someone who believes in God. Atheists are atypical and somewhat of a freak of nature, wouldn't you say?
It's clear that you don't support the idea that transgender people be recognized as their psychological sex even after hormone therapy and surgery to live their lives as the preferred gender.
I'm sorry life isn't so black and white for you.
BTW, usually ignorant idiots and followers approach debate with insults and/or profanity. Why did you have to go there?
By your example, you have changed my perception of atheists. I always gave them the benefit of the doubt. However, they can be just as bigotted and close-minded as the general population.
Why are you such a sad panda? I hear the price of tea in china is out of this world...
