Thomas Beatie and his wife have always wanted children, but his wife Nancy cannot become pregnant. Due to an illness several years ago, Nancy had to have a hysterectomy. But this couple had an alternative not many others do: Thomas is carrying their baby.Thomas is a transgender male. He was born with female reproductive organs, but identifies as male and is legally recognized as a man. Their marriage is legally recognized, and many of their friends and family didn't even know that Thomas was trans.
Beatie tells his story in a heart-wrenching article in the latest Advocate here. It's a story about overcoming hardship, about judgment, and about an incredible love. And it's a really interesting read.
