When You Are Both A Mother And A Father Like Thomas Beatie

You might remember the segment on the Oprah Winfrey Show when a man called Thomas Beatie announced to the world that he is pregnant.

While it seemed a bit unusual at first, the world quickly picked up the piece and began avidly chatting, dissecting and discussing the repercussions of such a decision. One faction argued about the confusion that the child might have about his parents and yet another questioned the morality of the situation.

The thing is, Thomas is a transgender and had a gender change by removing his breasts in a breast surgery procedure. However, unlike most transgenders, Thomas selected to retain his reproductive organs in the hopes of conceiving a child.

Thomas and his wife Nancy's hopes were fulfilled last week with the birth of a healthy baby girl via a natural birth.

What does have us wondering is whether Thomas will have a breast augmentation for breast-feeding the baby or if he will think about changing certain aspects of his masculine appearance now that the baby is out. It is certainly something to think about considering the amount of plastic surgery and restructuring he had gone through to get his male features in the first place.

What do you think? Will Thomas find himself compelled to change or will he stay the same?
