Pregnant Man/Woman Pregnant Again?

While perusing CNN's website, I stumbled across a video that caught my attention, "Pregnant Man is Expecting Again." After delivering a baby girl in June, the so-called "pregnant man" is, apparently, pregnant once again.

**Just a forewarning, coming next are my subjective views on this subject. Also, in order to take a somewhat humorous approach about this situation, I've used some colorful terms to keep the tone light. Nevertheless, the "colorful words" do refer to male body parts. Just thought I should mention that before you choose to read on.**

I would first like to mention I am not writing this blog to bash his/her choices. My beef with this whole situation is not that Tracy chose to become Thomas. My beef with this whole situation is the simple fact that the "man" literally lacks the beef. I actually blame the media with their grandiose hype about a pregnant man. Men cannot get pregnant. Just because Thomas chose to take hormones in order to grow facial hair and just because he chose to have his breasts removed does not make him a man. Lets look at the simplest reason for this---the acorn doesn't have a stem. He lacks the very parts (and the chromosome) that make a man a man! That should be a big enough reason why he is not a pregnant man.

Ok, follow my train of thought for a second. Just for kicks, I could decide to have my breasts removed (considering my husband didn't take the doctor out first for even attempting to desecrate his place of worship). I could also decide to pop a pill every day to adorn my mug with some facial fur. I could even go as far as having the girly-ness about me re-routed to create a more manly facade. (definition of facade=artificial or false front which is not consistent with the construction of the rest.) Even if I successfully accomplished these things, it would not change the fact that I am, by nature, a woman. I would not be a man. I would be a woman attempting to live as a man.

Furthermore, this feat is physically impossible. Men who are born boys at birth cannot get pregnant....their stem and apricots prohibit this from happening. Even men who choose to live life as women cannot become pregnant. Why? BECAUSE INTERNALLY THEY ARE MEN--their genetic compesition denys this from occuring! Just because you remove the jewels from the castle, doesn't make it possible for men to become pregnant. They lack a uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries--need I go on? They are born as men and the fact that their nether-regions get renovated, doesn't change their XY make up. The same goes for women who choose the transgender lifestyle. They can overhaul their body as much as they like, it doesn't change their XX inherent gender.

Now let me reiterate something: I am not bashing Thomas' choice to live life as a man. Although I disagree with transsexual situations, it is within his God given right (called agency) to make this choice. I do disagree with the impossible propaganda flying around about a pregnant man. A woman, chromosomally speaking, will always be XX. A man, chromosomally speaking, will always be XY. No physical changes can alter this fact. DNA speaks for itself. Thomas is a pregnant woman who is choosing to live as a man. He most certainly is NOT a pregnant man.
