The Pregnant Man is Pregnant Again
How do I explain to my 5 year old son how a man can be pregnant? Thankfully my brain quickly came up with a simple answer he understood. People on t.v were referring to Thomas Beatie (the pregnant man from Bend, Oregon) who is pregnant again. I know these children are born into a family full of love which is what any kid needs. However, how do you explain to those kids that the person they think is daddy was the one to birth them? I wonder about peer teasing and how they will be accepted. I personally feel sorry for Thomas because he seems to be confused. He wants to be a man yet at the same time he wants to do the one thing that truly sets woman and men apart. I see the ability to have babies a woman’s sacred ability. I can understand transgender thinking, however, I just cannot wrap my mind around this. He wants the be man and woman. What do you think?
