There is a buzz in the media and medical arena over a certain woman named "Thomas" who claims to be a man (but is really a woman). You may have seen her on the Oprah Winfrey show, the cover of time magazine and maybe even health discovery. Now for some strange reason the media acts as though America slept through sex education class, because this person is purported as some sort of medical breakthrough.

There was a time when men and woman who were obviously sexually deviant, would cross-dress and do their best to look like the opposite sex. If that was not dastardly enough, medical science has had nothing better to do than to learn to reassign the sexual organs of men and woman.

This is reminiscent of Frankenstein when the doctor says "we've created a monster". Listen close and you can hear the thunder cracking and the fiendish laugh of a mad doctor saying "a Pregnant Man". The very sight of this "pregnant man" is the badge of a confused and morally bankrupt people who are in rebellion against nature itself.

Let us take a walk through the ranks of nature for a moment to see if we can find some enlightenment.

Have you ever watched "Wild Kingdom", or any of the nature shows? If so, then surely you have seen the Antelope or some other animal give birth. Now I'm sure that it was not hard to distinguish whether or not it was a male or a female giving birth. The "male" Antelope planted a seed in the "female" Antelope and 6 months or so later, the "FEMALE" bore the calf. You can search the length and breadth of the animal kingdom and time again you will find this action repeated.

It is absolutely impossible for a male Antelope to bare a calf, his physical attributes will not enable him to. You can neuter the male and even spay the female so that they no longer have the ability to reproduce, but you cannot negate the fact that they are still male and female.

Now lets talk about mans best friend for a moment.

Do you know anyone who calls their male dog "girl"? or their female dog "boy"? of course not, that would be totally ridiculous. Have you ever seen, or known, or heard of a male dog delivering a litter of puppies? I am positively sure that you have not.

So what is the buzz about this Thomas individual?

"Thomas" who's original name is Tracy was born a woman, had all of the natural endowments of a woman, won a beauty pageant as a teen and later in life decided to become a man. After having her breast removed and a regimen of testosterone, she grew a beard and had her legal identity changed to that of a man. But this is the case in point; if Tracy wanted to really be a Thomas why did she maintain her vagina, uterus and ovaries? I thought men had testicles and a penis?

Tracy, or Thomas, declares to the public that she is a he, but the burden of proof lies in her belly! Newsflash!, males cannot bare children! Regardless of surgeries, hormones, or certified documents, a man will always be a man and a woman will always be a woman. They can do all they want to alter their birthday suit but inwardly they are still the same.

Now there is only one creature that I know of that has the ability to change from one creature to another and that is the butterfly. It starts out as a caterpillar, but after the process known as metamorphosis it emerges as a butterfly. This metamorphosis is very intense in which, the very tissue of the larvae is broken down and begins to assume the characteristics of the butterfly. This process can take some species of butterfly weeks to even months.

A man or a woman can see a surgeon for a few hours, be prescribed some medication but that is not enough. Nature ordained the life-cycle of the butterfly and metamorphosis is part of the life phase. The butterfly does not emerge half done or in need of meds to keep his butterfly-ness intact, the natural metamorphosis made a perfect change.

A doctor may consult with an individual and tell them that they can make them become the opposite sex, but he or she is lying. Thomas or Tracy, is a confused lesbian who allowed herself to be artificially inseminated by her lesbian lover with donor sperm. Is that a man? Are men born with vaginas now? Do they have ovaries and breast these days? Did mother nature rewrite the law? This whole debacle is embarrassing, sane people do not behave this way.

I am a male, was born a male and will die a male! I don't need hormones or any additives to make me look like, act like, or sound like a male. My wife is a female and she does not need any artificial flavors. When we came together, SHE conceived and SHE bore our son.

So to answer the question, "Thomas" cannot be considered the first pregnant man. I think it is totally bizarre that a person would attempt to pull off such a stunt. That person is sick and in need of mental health along with their mate, the judge who married them and the doctor that made all of this possible.

The feminists and the homosexuals can pander all they want in attempts to attack gender and the role of the male and female, but they cannot change mother nature. What is the point? Where does this labyrinth end?

We, as humans, cannot always understand how our bodies work. Mystical and amazing things happen everyday of our lives. The fact that Thomas is to be the first ever pregnant man, is prof enough. God created our bodies to be in his image, so if that is it not possible that God also wanted men to share the joy and hardship of giving birth through actual experience?

Though Thomas was naturally born as a girl, he is now to be considered a man because of the body parts that he now has. The fact that he choice to keep his womb when undergoing the changing process, should have no say in the matter. All that matters is that the child and future possible children that this man wants to have with his wife are healthy, even if they are born from Thomas himself. It is the child's safety and environment that is important, not the way it was born and raised.

If one goes online and reads certain stories, aka fanfiction, fiction novels, or mangas, that person can see that there are many people out there in the world that have the insight and imagination that male pregnancies may be possible. Though many know that it might not ever happen unless evolution or God wishes it to be, they still want others to read what they have to say on the topic. One never knows what might happen with the right prayers, genes, and faith. I feel that God might, if he chooses it to be, let men and women really be equal and let more men be pregnant.

Does anyone know that between a male sea horse and a female sea horse, the male sea horse is actually the one who gives birth to their children? Yes the female lays the eggs and gives them to the male but the children come out of the male's pouch and probably see him first? What I am trying to say, is that it does not matter how, when, why, or who by the child was from, as long as the child comes into the world healthy and loved by its family, nothing else should matter. Not even the fact that a man gave birth to said child. Thomas most be going through a lot of drama if people only care that it was a man giving birth, not a woman, and not caring that a new life has been brought into this hectic world of ours.

I loved Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1994's movie "Junior." The main thing that grasped my attention to that movie was the fact that a famous "male" actor made the role of a male scientist becoming pregnant to prove a point. The point being that even if it is with the help of science, if one works hard at it, the knowledge and the process of it, a man might be successfully pregnant, carry the baby to term, deliver said baby, and have a healthy and stable environment for that baby.

To close this article, I would like to say that to Thomas, congratulations on becoming the first man in known history to ever become pregnant. You are the perfect example to all men out there in the world that it does not matter whether one is born male or female, a man can become pregnant, be happy with their lives and family, and to being one step closer to complete equality with women. Men and women are not entirely equal yet and this a step towards that goal, so Thomas, thank you, again congratulations on your pregnancy and hope there are more to come your way, and I hope everything works out for you and your new family. Stay happy.
