Seems misleading, as if he somehow managed to concieve with no womb or ovaries.
Would it not then be misleading for an MTF to be called a woman before she has SRS? That smacks of double standard, Jenny. Thomas Beatie was a man before he became pregnant just as Christine Beatty was a woman while she was still pre-op. We can't have it both ways.

At least the ABC news article was handled with a little grace, using the proper pronouns and not sensationalizing the story.

I'm totally interested in fairness. That's why I advocate stringing up Barney Log Cabin Frank by his nuts and flogging him with a live electrical wire. I know some people might consider that a bit extreme, but considering the cummulative effective of last fall's betrayal on the lives of all the transpeople who will be harmed by it, it seems like a fair trade to me.
Discussion?
