Whatever floats your boat. I'm not sure I would call him a man biologically since he did retain his internal sex organs, but if he and wife can be good parents then more power to them.

I'm just confused as to what this person was thinking... like... he's not a man... but... he doesn't want to be a woman *confused*

*nods in agreement* Pick something and stick with it.

My thoughts EXACTLY!

Pregnant US man defends right to have child

Heh, makes me imagine an angry mob storming him down and screaming "Bring me a knitting needle!"

I don't understand your... confusion? Is it the pregnant part or the man part?

[jess_eklom]

The part where "he" was born female, went through a 'gender chance' legally, but remained female reproductively.

[java_mint]

I'm still a bit confused so sorry if I'm wrong. So... you don't think he should be considered a man?

That's... harsh.

I'm not sure what I think or that I understand his thought process, which is why I'm confused. I think this person has identity issues, but who am I to judge? If he's that uncertain about his gender and the roles assigned, I'm worried about the mental condition this child will have. Then again, it's none of my business and this comes from someone who has no desire whatsoever to ever spawn.

Yeah, well. . . I quite asking awhile ago. I decided it was better for my fragile mental health.

[jess_eklom]

Good idea.... I should do the same >O.o< I am concerned for the mental health of the child though... the parent can't even decide on his own gender.
