Pria Hamil Tetap Bahagia Meski Dicemooh Banyak Orang

Oregon - Thomas Beatie bahagia dengan kehamilannya. Pria transgender itu tak peduli meski dirinya banyak menerima ejekan dan cemoohan orang.

Bahkan dokter-dokter pun bersikap diskriminatif terhadap Beatie dan istrinya, Nancy. "Dokter-dokter mendiskriminasi kami, mereka mengusir kami karena keyakinan agama mereka. Paramedis pun menolak menyebut saya laki-laki atau mengakui Nancy sebagai istri saya," kata Beatie yang tinggal di Oregon, AS itu.

"Para resepsionis menertawakan kami. Teman-teman dan keluarga juga tidak mendukung. Sebagian besar keluarga Nancy tidak tahu kalau saya ini transgender," tutur Beatie seperti dilansir Sydney Morning Herald, Rabu (26/3/2008).

Beatie yang dilahirkan sebagai perempuan, ketika dewasa memutuskan menjadi laki-laki. Dia pun menjalani operasi rekonstruksi dada dan terapi testosteron. Namun dia memutuskan untuk tetap mempertahankan organ-organ reproduksi wanitanya.

Ketika Nancy, istrinya dinyatakan tak akan pernah bisa mengandung, Beatie akhirnya memutuskan untuk mengandung anak mereka. Nancy pernah menjalani operasi pengangkatan rahim karena penyakit endometriosis parah yang diderita wanita itu.

Kini Beatie tengah mengandung anak perempuan. Namun Beatie tetap mempertahankan identitas dirinya sebagai laki-laki. "Saya sangat beruntung memiliki istri yang begitu mencintai dan mendukung. Saya akan menjadi ayah dari anak perempuan saya, dan Nancy akan menjadi ibunya. Kami akan menjadi sebuah keluarga," kata Beatie.

Usia kehamilan Beatie kini telah menginjak lima bulan.

Thomas Beatie

U.S. man claims to be pregnant

An Oregon man who used to be a woman says he is pregnant with a baby girl.

Thomas Beatie's first-person story appears in the April issue of The Advocate, a Los Angeles-based newsmagazine for lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgendered people.

According to the story, Mr. Beatie was born a woman but decided to become a transgender male and legally changed his sex to male. He had his breasts surgically removed and started bimonthly testosterone injections, but kept his vagina.

Now identifying as male, Mr. Beatie legally married Nancy Beatie, the story says. The pair wanted a biological baby but Ms. Beatie was unable to carry a child. So they decided Mr. Beatie would carry the child.

"How does it feel to be a pregnant man," Mr. Beatie writes in the article. "Incredible. Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am. In a technical sense I see myself as my own surrogate, though my gender identity as male is constant. To Nancy, I am her husband carrying our child ... I will be my daughter's father, and Nancy will be her mother. We will be a family."

Before getting pregnant he stopped injecting testosterone, and his body "regulated itself after about four months," he writes in the Advocate piece.

One year and nine doctors later, the couple got access to a cryogenic ***** bank and purchased anonymous donor vials for a home insemination. Without the aid of fertility drugs, progesterone or exogenous estrogen, Mr. Beatie got pregnant, he says. But the pregnancy was ectopic, and rarer still, with triplets. After surgery, Mr. Beatie lost all his embryos and his right fallopian tube.

But the second pregnancy has been a success, writes Mr. Beatie: "We are happily awaiting her birth, with an estimated due date of July 3, 2008."

The National Post could not independently confirm the story. But Michelle Garcia, an editorial assistant at the magazine, said The Advocate verified the pregnancy with Mr. Beatie's gynecologist. She said a photo on the site of a shirtless, heavily pregnant man sprouting facial hair is indeed Mr. Beatie.

Yesterday, the couple-- who run a T-shirt printing company called Define Normal -- refused to tell their story, citing U.S. deals with TV and print media outlets.

"It's a big deal and we want to be able to tell our story," Ms. Beatie told the National Post. "We'd love everybody on board as long as they're understanding and are going to tell our story and not their own."

Mr. Beatie writes in The Advocate that "wanting to have a biological child is neither a male nor female desire, but a human desire.

"Our situation ultimately will ask everyone to embrace the gamut of human possibility and to define for themselves what is normal."

Ethicist Margaret Somerville says Mr. Beatie's story speaks to the uprooting of the biologically natural family, a process that began with same-sex marriage.

"Once you take away that fundamental biological reality, once you say that family is what you define it as ... then you can do this sort of thing," said Ms. Somerville, founding director of the McGill Centre for Medicine, Ethics and Law.

"Where I would do a reversal on this is to say, 'You've artificially made yourself a man. You're not a man, you're a woman and you're having a baby and you're actually having your own baby. Just because you put on a clown suit, doesn't mean that you don't still exist underneath.' "

She added: "It's a very touchy thing, this deconstruction of our biological reality and the institutions that have existed across all kinds of societies over thousands and thousands of years to establish stability, respect and certainty. I think we're just playing with fire."

[CrL-bLaCk-]

Itu bukan cacingan kk... Koq malah tanggapannya seperti itu? Pria yang hamil tersebut sebenarnya adalah seorang wanita, tetapi dia merubah jenis kelaminnya dengan operasi kelamin, tetapi dia tetap mempertahankan organ-organ reproduksi wanitanya. Sehingga dia bisa hamil, walaupun dia sudah menjadi seorang pria saat ini..

Tapi kasian juga yah, masa bahkan keluarga dan saudaranya tidak ikut mendukung >.<

[Mitsuko]

Ya sih saya merasa kasihan juga tetapi sekaligus merasa kalau itu melawan hukum alam. Karena gue melihat die memilih menjadi pria dan gue binun .... gue bener stress liat berita ini .....

bagaimana perasaan anaknya nantinya dan di sekolah dijamin jadi bahan tertawaan teman-temannya.

tetapi apa hak gue menilai ... cuma gue bener stress

[BloodyElf]

dia di lahirin harusnya jd cewe,tp dia mutusin jd cowo aja... tp dgn organ" reproduksi cewe masih ada di tubuh dia... so dia punya istri tp istrinya nga bisa ngasilin keturunan makanya dia mutusin hamil dgn organ reproduksi yg masih ada di tubuhnya.

waduh ini tidak genap apa yg dikatakan Kitab Suci neh....yg melahirkan kan seharusnya ce bukan
