THE "MALE" INCUBATOR
By now you've probably heard about the "man" who plans to give birth. He brought his bump to Oprah where he explained that he
was born and lived the life of a female for 24 years. It wasn't until after college that he embarked on his "true identity." Beatie took testosterone and had his breasts removed but kept his reproductive organs -- hoping one day to conceive a child.
Anomalies like this used to be the forte of Ripley's Believe It Or Not. Now Oprah takes it up in the name of ratings.
While this "man" strokes his ego in the limelight, has anyone considered the plight of the kid soon to be born? Imagine the playground. "Does your daddy look like my mommy 'down there'?" "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww. That is so gross." You think any of the kid's playmates' parents are going to let their kids stay overnight at this freak house? In fact what are the odds the poor kid is even going to have playmates? Kids are pretty savvy. They know when something ain't right, and they stay away in case it might be catching.
