Pregnant Man

Male Thomas Beatie got pregnant with his daughter and gave birth on June 29, 2008 in the Oregon hospital. Beatie and his daughter are healthy and doing very well.

"Beatie, who took twice- weekly doses of testosterone and has his great surgically removed during his female-to-male transition," says PEOPLE magazine.

Thirty four year old Beatie was born a female but then switched his gender identity legally to male. He removed her breasts but he kept her reproductive organs, meaning Beatie could still conceive. The first time Beatie conceived after changing to a male was during his marriage with Nancy. They are now divorced and Beatie is with his new girlfriend Amber Nicholas.

"Being pregnant was the most incredible experience, but we want Amber to do it this time around," said Beatie.

He already has three children but he wants a fourth child with Amber. He would really like for Amber to be the one to get pregnant but if in any given case she can't conceive he would graciously step in. After all Amber already has two children from her previous marriage. Beatie wants to experience pregnancy as the father this time, and there's a possibility of them both getting pregnant at the same time. Though his doctor has recommended for him to not get pregnant again .

"My surgeon has advised against me getting pregnant because it would be a lot harder now I'm biologically a man,"said Beatie.


Some time after he gave birth to his daughter Susan in 2008 he decided to surgically changed his female part for a male organ in order to feel more like a man and to enhance his sexual life. Meanwhile he still has his female reproductive organs, but it would be more complicated to have a child. If he were to get pregnant he would have to have a caesarian, Beatie says he would do it just to have another bundle of joy.

"In a technical sense I see myself as my own surrogate, though my gender identity is make constant," said Beatie.

18 year old dates her biological father

An 18-year-old woman in the Great Lakes is dating her biological father for two years whom she had finally met after 12 years of separation. They are currently engaged, they're planning a non-traditional wedding that won't be registered legally and they're planning to have kids together in the future when they move to New Jersey where adult incest isn't illegal. 

"I was seeing my dad for the first time in forever but it was also like, He's so good looking!", said the 18-year old.

Her mother and father conceived her on prom night, they had a 6 month serious relationship but then broke up while she was still pregnant. They didn't have any contact until she was 3 or 4 years old, they saw each other on the weekends since he lived an hour away: there was constant argument about visitation. Her mother wasn't fond of him seeing her, she wouldn't even meet him half-way on the road. 

"He was living with his girlfriend. On the first night he slept on the couch and I slept on the floor, just to make sure that I was okay." she said.

Her mother had taken her Facebook privileges away and had conspicuously rejected her father's friend requests, once she got her privileges back she got into contact with her father. After chatting for a week they met up in person, then later on she went to stay over at her father's house for five days. That's when she found out she was romantically attracted to him. 

"He was wearing a pair of basketball shorts and a tank top and after I bit him I could see goose bumps pop up from his toes to his shoulders," she said. "Then he pinched my inner thigh and I got goose bumps."

After admitting that they had strong feelings for each other and discussing wether if it was wrong they kissed and they made love for the first time: she lost her virginity to him. He knew that she was a virgin so he told her if she didn't feel comfortable at any point to just tell him. She didn't feel weird at all, it actually felt natural to her as if she had just made love to a man she had been with for years. 

"I’m planning on a full-on wedding but it won’t be legally registered," she said.

Her wedding color scheme is black and purple, they're both going to wear converse tennis shoes.
He's going to wear a nice dress shirt, jeans and she's persuading him into wearing a bow tie, meanwhile she's going to wear a black dress. Her grandpa - from her father's side - will give her away on the aisle, while her best friend will be her maid of honor. 

"We’ve decided that most likely we won’t," she said. "I don’t want to give them any problems."

They're planning on having babies but they won't tell them that their father is her dad, since her fiancés parents want to spend time with their grandkids they're going to have to figure out how everyone will be known to keep the secret hidden. As for genetic problems she's already done some research and she found out that there's no risk on her kids having any genetic problems problems, if they did she wouldn't risk it. 

"I just don’t understand why I’m judged for being happy," she said.

She says that people should research incest and GSA so that they can understand it and see how often it actually happens. As an 18 year old you're considered an adult under the law and you're able to consent so she considers herself to be able to take care of herself. It's not an abusive relationship since she's fully aware of what's going on and she gives consent. She's happy with her fiancé and that's all that matters, once she moves to New Jersey she doesn't plan coming back to her hometown: she plans on starting a new chapter where no one knows her nor the relationship with her fiancé being her father.
