"Pregnant Man" Gives Birth to Girl

Thomas Beatie, the so-called "pregnant man," gave birth Sunday to a healthy baby girl. Despite taking hormones, having his breasts surgically removed, and outwardly living as a man, Beatie had kept his female sex organs in hopes of one day becoming pregnant.

He spent the first two decades of his life as Tracy Lagondino, a former model and finalist in a Miss Hawaii Teen USA pageant.

In April he revealed his pregnancy to the world, achieving notoriety as the "pregnant man."

Beatie told Oprah in April,

"I actually opted not to do anything to my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day. I see pregnancy as a process, and it doesn't define who I am."

While TMZ reported the birth was a C-section, People indicated that Beatie told them it was not. The birth took place at St. Charles Medical Center in Bend, Oregon.
