I think that they shouldn't call he/she a pregnant man when it's really a girl that is trying to be a boy. So I think that everone is making a big deal out of nothing.

Wasn't it really a woman? I was disappointed...I thought they'd really discovered a pregnant man. If s/he wants to have another kid, more power to him/her.

It is just another example of our country's lame *** gullibility. Anything the network news says to pay attention to, you do. Pity.

I'm very happy with their decision for him to have the children since his wife no longer can.

Regardless of the legal matter that one has to call him a man, he was once a woman. This is not a man having a baby. Men don't have reproductive organs, which is what really makes them MEN. So this isn't really a break-through or anything....

But I wish them all the happiness they deserve, and shame on all the doctors that shunned them for their situation! They just want to have their own children, like most people do. They're lucky to have options!

The media loves it but I wish they would expose her for who she is.

heshe came out about the baby to ease the trama to the baby later in life....Me I think that is not the truth...I think that they just wanted to make money the easy way.....Hmmm having sex for money....Is there not a nme for that....But really...I think that if they wanted kids....and wanted to make a baby this way...They should have kept their mouth shut....No how will the kids life be when it all comes out later in life.....I feel sorry for the kid

The headline is based on a fraud and half-truth.
Other than that, live and let live.

...I'm not too sure about how I feel about men having babies, but I do wish sometimes that they could have menstrual periods. Just so they can experience what females have to go through EVERY month, for THIRTY or so years of their lives. UGH!! I wish I were a man during those days of the month!!

As far as the family and it's dynamics go, I see no problem with it. I think it's rather beautiful that he would make that sort of sacrifice for his family. However, as far as the publicity goes...I'm extremely disappointed in the way the family has chosen to go about this. He is not the first transgender man to do this and I'm afraid at his quickness to get pregnant again that it is obvious they are in it for money. It makes me sad that this unusual story is most of America's first insight to the lives of transgender or transsexual individuals.

Seriously he is a she!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good lord. And to say that this has never happened is a crock! This he/she just made it a money machine by going public.......

It's an interesting story, but the media is hyping it way too much, ratings/money of course.
I don't know why she (and yes 'he' is a she) is letting herself be exploited like this, other than to assume she needs money too.
This story needs to go away and die. Let her and her wife live their lives without the media trying to make it a freak side show.

One Big Freak Show, but I'm sure that those kids will grow up to be very well adjusted individuals and wonderful members of our Society for having such Media ****** for Parents.

I think the answer was obvious. He still has his reproductive organs for conceiving a baby. There was no other medical answer for it. The fact that she wants to be a man is confusing to me since he wants to have a baby. All in all, its kinda cool.

whatever...it's HIS life. He has to deal with it. I am glad they can have a family. Too many people are unqualified to judge this situation.

I don't really.

But what bothers me is the insensitive attitude a lot of people have towards transgendered people. Learn a thing or two about what's going on with these people before you judge. Ask yourself if you would have the courage to do something like that in your own life if you knew it was the only way you could ever feel like your true self. In the meantime, some dudes have girl parts. Deal with it.
