Naw... to get on Maury they'd have to be cousins too.

Mon 4/7/2008 1:08p | Yeah, I don't understand why the need to keep the girl parts when it wanted to be a man, either.
Maybe it is too expensive? Maybe too "final?" Maybe because they needed to just appear to be a man on the outside? |

Maybe he was afraid that if he got one of "those" it would start trying to do all his thinking for him as happens with most men.

Mon 4/7/2008 1:38p | Typically, sex-reassignment happens in stages. It's possible this person decided to become a man, then when he discovered his wife was unable to have more children, decided to keep the uterus so that he could do this. I'm not clear on this from the stories I've read. |

Mon 4/7/2008 1:47p | You know I really don't care if she wanted to be a man or why she didn't finish the procedure - I just find it creepy that they felt the need to make it all so public!! And shame on Oprah for giving them the platform to do so - Did they go on Oprah just to for the *first man to give birth* title - It seems like all they have done is made a mockery out of all of this -
I truely feel for those who are born in the wrong bodies - for them life must be hell - but to start going through a change like this to become a man why then would you want to give birth - from what I have read and heard about (from people who have gone through this) if you start this procedure it's because you don't relate to the body you are born in and want really nothing to do with being that gender - then why if you are woman and feel your true identity is male, would you decide you still want to give birth.
They could have adopted - |

I feel for them, too - but do not believe they were "born in the wrong body". There is something going on with their brain and/or mind. |

Exactly their brain tells them it's the wrong body!! |

Mon 4/7/2008 5:16p | Sorry. I don't buy that. There are people who really feel like they should cut off their perfectly healthy limbs, too. Do you think that is okay, or only cutting off mammary glands and genitals that are perfectly healthy? Why is one different from the other? Just because it involves sexuality and gender?
I can understand that someone is attracted to someone of the same sex. Fine. (No, I'm not equating that with transgenderism, even though they often lobby together.) But just because someone chooses to dress inappropriately, or mutilate one's body, or have hormones injected unnecessarily into one's body does NOT mean I have to call a man a woman, or vice-versa.
If I tell you that I feel like the President of the United States (scary thought!) or seven feet tall, does that mean you should go along with my delusion? |
