Thomas Beatie, a transgendered pregnant man, is ecstatic to welcome a daughter into the world this July. Thomas has a vagina, but he’s legally male. Thomas is in a relationship with his wife Nancy, and he spoke to The Advocate about his journey to get knocked up.

“Ten years ago, when Nancy and I became a couple, the idea of us having a child was more dream than plan. I always wanted to have children. However, due to severe endometriosis 20 years ago, Nancy had to undergo a hysterectomy and is unable to carry a child.

But after the success of our custom screen-printing business and a move from Hawaii to the Pacific Northwest two years ago, the timing finally seemed right. I stopped taking my bimonthly testosterone injections. It had been roughly eight years since I had my last menstrual cycle, so this wasn’t a decision that I took lightly. My body regulated itself after about four months, and I didn’t have to take any exogenous estrogen, progesterone, or fertility drugs to aid my pregnancy.”

A year and many doctors later, Thomas got pregnant with triplets, but the pregnancy was ectopic. He lost his embryos and his right fallopian tube. His second pregnancy is a success and he’s due on July 3, 2008.
