Pregnant Man Thomas Beatie appeared on Oprah last night with his wife Nancy.
Thomas who is a transsexual man said that he is excited about the upcoming birth of his "miracle" child.
Thomas underwent gender reassignment surgery but kept his female reproductive organs. Thomas said that he “opted not to do anything to my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day”.
During the show they broadcasted the ultrasound images and the audio of the baby’s heartbeat.
Thomas told Oprah that “I can’t believe it. I can’t believe she’s inside me. This is a miracle. We see this as a miracle. I see pregnancy as a process and it doesn’t define who I am. It’s not a male or female desire to want to have a child, it’s a human desire. I’m a person and I have the right to have my own biological child. I think that people will be shocked because no-one’s ever heard of a man giving birth before. I guess it’s a shocking concept, but in this day and age that’s possible. And it’s happening now.”
Thomas’s doctor Kimberley James, said that “This baby’s totally healthy and this is, I consider, an average pregnancy.”
怀孕男子托马斯·比提昨晚和其妻子南希一起做客奥普拉脱口秀。
托马斯是一名变性男子，他说对于自己将出生的奇迹般的孩子感到兴奋。
托马斯做过变性手术，但是保留了他的男性生殖器官。托马斯说他“选择不要去除我的生殖器官，因为我想有一天有个孩子”。
在节目中，他们播放了超声波的图像和胎儿的心跳音频。
托马斯对奥普拉说“我不敢相信，不敢相信她在我肚子里。这真是个奇迹。我们把这看成个奇迹。我把怀孕看做一个过程，它不能定义我是谁。想要个孩子不是男性或是女性的渴望，而是人类的渴望。我是个人，我有权利拥有我自己的亲生孩子。我想人们感到震惊，因为以前从来没人听说过一个男人生孩子。我猜这是个挺骇人听闻的理念，但在今天，这个时代，这是可能的。并且现在正在发生。”
托马斯的医生，金伯利.詹姆斯说“这个胎儿非常健康，而且我认为，这是个普通的怀孕过程。”
