On June 29, 2008, a sensational message flew over the news sites - Thomas Beaty, known as the first pregnant man in the world, gave birth to a baby girl through Caesarean section. Four weeks before this event, Thomas agreed to take part in a nude photo shoot. Then he and his wife Nancy gave an exclusive interview to World News magazine. The couple talked about preparing for a happy event. In addition, they stated that they did not mind having a few more children.
Is it true or a joke?
And a few months before this incredible story was covered by the leading news agencies of the planet. It is as if a pregnant man named Thomas Beaty lives in the USA, in the city of Bend . Then he was already in his fifth month. Everyone thought it was a joke launched on the eve of April 1. But journalists thoroughly investigated and checked the facts.
Thomas gave the first interview to a magazine for sexual minorities called Attorney. Assistant editor Neil Boverman said that he not only talked to Beaty himself, but also went to his gynecologist, who confirmed that Thomas was pregnant. It would seem like this is possible? After all, a man has no organs for bearing a child. As it turned out, Beaty has them.
What's the secret?
The secret is that the first pregnant man on this planet was born a girl. In his youth, he even participated in the Hawaiian beauty contest. And in adulthood, Thomas wanted to change sex. Such cases are not uncommon now. Hormone therapy and breast removal helped to implement the plan. Beaty began to grow stubble, and he became like a man. Thomas also changed documents and became a man in a legal sense. The only thing left of him from the woman is the genitals. Beaty did not get rid of them, as some people usually do when changing sex, and did not sew on the penis.
After the operation, Thomas married and lived with his wife Nancy for 10 years. The couple really wanted a baby. But Nancy got quite seriously ill, and she had to remove the uterus. It was then that the couple decided that Beaty would bear the child. Of course, a pregnant man is very unusual, but the couple did not see another way.
When Thomas went to hospitals, medical workers greeted his decision with a manifestation of discrimination and real bullying. The first doctor to whom he came told Beaty to shave. The rest simply did not accept. At the registries, everyone laughed amicably.
Conception process
But, despite all the difficulties, Beaty did not give up. The future pregnant man, whose photos are posted in the article, began to act actively. And it turned out to be a success. After Thomas found a doctor, he advised him to refuse hormone therapy. After some time, menstruation returned to Beaty. Then, realizing his female essence, Thomas agreed to be fertilized with donor sperm. The attempt failed. An ectopic pregnancy began to develop , Beaty lost the fallopian tube. Normal fertilization succeeded the second time. The pregnant man felt normal, and everything went without complications.
Despite the fact that a new life was ripening inside Thomas, he never once doubted his gender identity. In a technical sense, Beaty was an ordinary surrogate mother for his child, but he did not cease to identify himself as a representative of the stronger sex. Yes, now he is a pregnant man, but then he will become a father to his daughter, and Nancy's wife will become a mother. And they will have a real family. By the way, they were very lucky with their place of residence. In a small town, spouses are perceived as a loving happy couple.
Thomas made an agreement with a number of American media and now does not give an interview just like that. Beaty recently spoke to Canadian National News reporters, saying that it was a pretty big deal, and now only certain channels and print media can tell the world their story.
Specialist Comment
When the Russian gynecologist Andrei Malyshev found out that there is a pregnant man (see photo above), he was very surprised and decided to study this story in more detail. The doctor concluded that the hormones administered did not have a significant effect on Thomas's reproductive organs. And they were able to restore their own functions. However, this event is simply unique. He would be envied by thousands of “normal” women who have problems conceiving. It is understandable that childbirth was a temporary performance of Thomas's female role. At the moment, he again returned to the masculine image.
