But I'll leave it at that. I just can't understand if this transgender was so dissatisfied with being a woman how come he/she would want to experience one of the MOST feminine experiences a woman can have - have a child. Why didn't they just adopt? Crazy ish! Like Whitney Houston says “HAIL TO DA NAW!” lol

While it is not the norm, they are making a baby and that kid shouldn't be made to suffer. Can't we all just get along? I read about it in People.

A lot of people are very judgmental and unable to see life as someone very different from them might see it, so it was refreshing to read your comments! MommyK, you attract a nice crowd!

Very difficult for them. Having said that, there are people who are born with undetermined gender, known as intersex people nowadays. Very difficult for them.

If you've got girl bits I don't think that makes you a man really. But some people do have real problems with their gender. I will be more impressed when a biological male carries a baby to full term! I dunno. If you’ve got girl bits I don’t think that makes you a man really.

I don't know that it IS, but I don't know that it isn't. It doesn't mean I neccessarily agree with the steps people take to address the issues either - but who am I to judge. BUT - if you feel so masculine that you have to undergo surgery....what's masculine about having a baby????

Hah!) and, um, yeah, it was definitely one of those things that just wasn't computing in my brain. I'm kind of fascinated as to how a woman can feel *so* much like a man that she'd go through gender modification only to then want to do the one thing that separates men from women. Definitely an interesting psychological study. I saw this on PerezHilton (great news source! Hah!) and, um, yeah, it was definitely one of those things that just wasn’t computing in my brain.

Been hearing lots of negative stuff about Oprah lately. Your either born a man or born a women. That is ridiculous.

But I didn't get a chance to watch it yet. I don't know what to think...if "he" still has female reproductive organs - what actually makes "him" a man?! I don't understand at all...did "he" have surgury to have a penis added? I thought they used parts of the female organs to make the male organ?! I think I need to watch this when I get home. And when I read further, I was also disappointed that it wasn't biologically a man who was preggers....Oprah sure knows how to advertise! I saw this advertised…I set my up Tivo.
