debbie10020 Registered: 02/20/08 Loc: nyc	i'll admit i had some qualms about the publicity hog way this was initially handled, but i wish nothing but joy to the parents: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=5302756&page=1 _________________________ "One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time." - Andre Gide

jenny_w Registered: 01/03/06 Loc: Oregon	Well yeah it is great that they are having a child but I am put off by the tagline 'pregnant man'. Seems misleading, as if he somehow managed to concieve with no womb or ovaries. Obviously not the case. _________________________ Observe your Self

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. _________________________ "Obama wins, Darlie gets her V-jay-jay. What a great month!"

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. - Frank Herbert

At least the ABC news article was handled with a little grace, using the proper pronouns and not sensationalizing the story. _________________________ "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." Henry David Thoreau His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither he nor his parents sinned; it is so that the works of God might be made visible through him. " John 9:2-3 Mahatma Ghandi, though a devout Hindu, was widely known to admire Jesus; Ghandi often quoted from the Sermon on the Mount, in fact. Once when the missionary E. Stanley Jones met with Ghandi he asked him, "Mr. Ghandi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower?" Ghandi replied, "Oh, I don't reject your Christ. I love your Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ."

glamazon Pentultimate Goddess Registered: 02/06/03 Loc: Los Angeles, CA	Originally Posted By: Roxanne People aren't interested in fairness, for the most part 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.

Fairness is metalogically impossible. You'd need a brain that has complete, consistent knowledge for that. _________________________ This a spiritual thing and I am the laughing Buddha sitting on top of the world. Donnalee.
