Being a father of two children, I can attest to the fact that birth is the most magical miracle I have personally ever witnessed. But, for at least the last couple million years women have been giving birth to children. Birth it's self is the miracle, not the fact that birth is given by women (not to take anything away from women for bearing this miracle, kudos to all of you).

"Thomas" was born a female and to eventually give birth to a child is as natural as the sun coming up tomorrow. Oh, there have been a few changes along the way but those changes do not alter the fact that "Thomas" was born a female and is perfectly capable of bearing a child.

Think of it this way. You go out and buy a Lamborghini with a 12 cylinder engine and all the features. You decide later on, for whatever reason, to go and remove the Lamborghini body and replace it with the body of a yellow and green Ford Pinto.

Winning every race in the Pinto division down at the local speedway becomes normal. Then everyone finds out that you've really been driving a Lamborghini with a Pinto body on it. Would there be even one person who would buy your story about how this car was born a Lamborghini but deep inside there somewhere was a pinto trying to get out?

Now that it's out, this "Pinto" should be seen by everyone as just a regular old Pinto just like any other. It looks just like a Ford Pinto. But it's not a Ford Pinto.

This car was born a Lamborghini and doing zero to sixty in like two seconds is one of the features Lamborghini's have from birth. Going and putting the Ford Pinto body on it changes nothing about it or it's abilities.

"Thomas" was born a woman and going and putting a man's features on her without changing what's under the hood means that this whole story boils down to a woman having a baby. It happens everyday. Thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands, of times every day.

If "Thomas" had the stuff under the hood changed to make her truly a man then this would never have happened because, by definition, human males do not have a womb and cannot carry children.

We all do whatever we have to in this life to get by and be seen by the world the way we want to be seen. Some people shave their heads or wear Mohawks. Some people act like punks and others don't want to be seen as anything other than an upstanding average citizen. I figure we all have our reasons for being the way we are and if you're happy being the way you are then you have satisfied the only person that matters.

I'm not judging "Thomas" on what he/she chooses to do with his/her own life. If he/she is happy and content with where he/she is at this point in his/her life then more power to him/her.

"Thomas" wanting to be a man and going half way through with the change doesn't change the fact that she has all the plumbing that she was born with that makes her capable of having a child. So let's not pretend that this is anything out of the ordinary.

The sky is still blue. The sun still rises in the east. Pi is still equal to 3.14159265 and women still have babies.
