The Pregnant Man Grows Ever Larger in Buzz

by Molly McCall

Yesterday Thu, 03 Apr 2008 13:30:51 PDT

On Thursday, Oprah introduced Oregon resident Thomas Beatie to anyone who hadn't yet heard of him. Beatie, a transgender man who is legally male, is six months pregnant with his and his wife's child. La Winfrey called the expectant situation "a new definition of what diversity means for everybody."

And everybody, it seems, is interested. Over the past seven days, searches for "pregnant man" rose 26,879%. Demand for "thomas beatie" grew more than 3,000%. Interest in "oregon man pregnant" has swelled 461%.

As for the skeptics who typed "man claims he is pregnant" and "pregnant man?" into Search, we can answer: Mr. Beatie retained his female reproductive organs. Because he has a uterus, he can get pregnant and carry a baby to term.

In Buzz, some of the most popular articles from the past week focused on the bun in Beatie's oven. As we posted earlier, Boing Boing and Huffington Post were two of the first sources to surface with articles on the story. Since then, the Huffington Post scored another hit with an item revealing more photos of the fertile daddy.

LilSugar, Yahoo! News, and People.com have also polled well with Buzz readers. The People.com article, which offers an exclusive video clip from the Oprah appearance, was one of the most voted-on articles in Buzz after the show aired.

So has this childbearing event really redefined what diversity means for everybody? The tale certainly seems to have people thinking about gender issues. We've noted a surge in queries for "transgendered" and "transgender pregnancy." Lookups for "pregnant man" have flowed in from every state in the U.S. and every age group.

With the fruitful papa about to enter his third trimester, we may have three more months of this baby buzz. Enjoy it!

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

Oh man, I wanted to watch this yesterday but Oprah's over when I get home. I just wanted to know why he and his wife decided that he would be the one to get pregnant. The whole thing is just so odd.

Apparently the wife can't have children. He decided not to change his sexual organs because he knew he wanted to have a baby one day.

That´s so cool :thumbs: Hope their baby will be healthy and all of them happy :)

Did they say how they did it? Like they took husband´s egg and someone elses sperm? Or wife´s egg and husband´s sperm? Or does husband have both sperm and eggs? What does he have?

Apparently they bought the eggs and the wife injected them into him. A lot of doctors wouldn't do it for them.

what the baby (if he/she made it) will call (him or her)? momy? dady? mody? domy?...again my little brain didn't get it.

The father said that he would be the dad and she would be the mom.

*edit cause I was on the phone and didn't make sense*

I hope they have a healthy baby

HOWEVER....i think the whole "worlds first pregnant man" should never be used, she/he is not the first pregnant man, men have not gotten pregnant yet, and when your a MAN who is a man without a doctors help and you find a way to become pregnant, then that man should have the title "worlds first pregnant man"

Thank you for both points. You are 100% correct.

What if I get rabbit ears grafted to my wifes head. Will our baby be the first rabbit-human hybrid?

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."
