This month’s The Advocate Magazine features the story of Thomas Beatie, a transgender person who was a woman but is now legally male. With his surgery, Beatie was able to keep the reproductive organs he was born with and stopped getting the injections so he was able to get pregnant. Apparently Beatie was artificially inseminated and is now expecting a daughter.

However many are skeptical of Beatie’s claim as shown in this clip from Good Morning America.

Whether or not Beatie is indeed pregnant, this story draws attention to the transgender population in America, a population that is often misunderstood and discriminated against. For more on transgender rights and information, and visit The National Center for Transgender Equality.
