A man is NOT pregnant

xinsrc_40203052813370463170435.jpgCome on people...why do you all insist on believing everything that anyone tells you? There's currently a story on CNN's front page, apparently also recently aired on Oprah, that a man is pregnant. If you pay absolutely no attention to the facts, I guess I can see how you'd believe it. I mean, it's a person that looks like a man, says he's a man, and is married to a woman. But, that doesn't make him a man!

In reality, he's transgendered. He takes male hormones and lives life as a man, but he has retained all of his previous female bits and pieces. Therefore, as much as he may like to say he's a man...he's really a she! "He" is lacking two very important pieces to being a man, namely a Y chromosome and what I would consider some pretty essential parts! Also, judging by his current voice, I'd say he's given some of the male hormones a rest (probably a very good idea if you're pregnant).

So, the only thing different here is that two women are married, one of the women is much hairier than normal, thinks she's a he, and got pregnant. Unusual? Yes, definitely. CNN front page worthy? No. There are a lot of unusual people out there, and there is not enough paper in the world to write a story on all of them. So, to sum this up (since so many people are missing this), this "guy" is not really a guy. He was born a woman and still has all of his original female parts. So, an unattractive woman is pregnant.

Can't we just call a spade, a spade?
