Articles from Advocate and Newsweek

Ladies and gentleman, the first pregnant man! This is a fascinating firt-person account about being a pregnant transgender FTM (female to male). When Thomas Beatie and his wife decided to have kids, Thomas went off testoserone to get pregnant due to the fact that his wife was incapable of bearing the child. The image of a man with child is so stunning and captivating, and the story itself is a new take on queer identity and a new challenge for the common gender-rigid American household.

Identity over-exposure is a common trend these days, and the current youth now thrives on having their every life moment recorded for the public eye.
