so this man/woman is making a reproductive/scientific point [in his/her eyes] or trying to make something big of this happen so scientists can make a gene in men to have a reproductive part. I bet there will be scientists in a year or maybe less trying to create something so men can reproduce. because this guy girl obviously is making a stance saying i am a man but keeping her reproductive parts.
....or he she just watched too many movies with arnold schwarzenegger lol

Krystine, did you read the article?

Please read the article first and then comment. He isnt doing it to have ANYTHING to do with scientist trying to find a gyne to make men be able to carry babies. That is not the purpose of this man/woman having this baby.

S/He is doing this because he is married to his wife "Nancy" who is unable to carry children. It has been a dream of their's to have children and this was the only way for them "in their eyes" To each his own! We had an hour long discussion about this couple at work Friday morning

He is still technically a she because of all the parts of a woman that he still has. What I want to know is how does one LEGALLY become a man or a woman from the other sex when you dont FULLY become the other sex? Wouldn't you think that you would have to FULLY become the other sex before you would be able to Legally become the other sex?

Thank you. I have been wondering the same thing. How can you be a 'man' while still retaining all your female parts (other than the breasts)? There are many many many women who have had hysterecomies AND had their breasts removed - does this make them men? Could they now apply for some kind of man-ship or something? I was not aware you didn't need a penis to be a man. I thought it was a requirement!

I was watching something last night that made me think of this story. There was a woman who felt for all her life that she was a man. Just like this story she had her breasts removed but kept her reproductive organs. Apparently in this state they consider themselves transgender (some as this story) and if they have the full surgery they are considered transsexual. She said that some people never want to take it another step for whatever reason and identify (for lack of a better word) as being transgender better.I don't know if that makes sense (I have a link if anyone wants to see it, its about 1/2 through or so).

http://en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Transgender

side note I used the term she just to make this slightly easier to read even tho she in person in the clip identifies as a male and her name is Lucas)

I thought s/he couldn't do interviews because a major publishing company had the 'rights' to this story? Interesting...
