Pregnant Man Story Sweeping Nation

Everyone is talking about the first pregnant man in America. He has graced the pages of People magazine as well an hour interview with Oprah on her talk show. My recap is taken his interview with Oprah on her talk show.

The first question in everyone's mind was, how is this humanly possible for a man to be pregnant? This individual who seem to be using only his first name was born a female whom her parents named Tracey. She was the middle child amidst an older and younger brother. As a child she remembered a normal childhood never once feeling like she was trapped in the wrong body. However, she lost her mother at the tender age of twelve and did not have the opportunity to share moments with her ,such as puberty, especially developing breasts. As a young lady she entered many pageants and even dated her Martial Arts teacher. She further joked about a comment he made to her. Telling her that she was great at Martial Arts but bad at being a girlfriend. She went on to earning a blackbelt in this field.

At age twenty four Tracey started to have intimate feelings for women and began her first relationship with a woman. This lasted for three years. This was the period she said she found her self and her identity. She expressed to her girlfriend that she wanted to become a man. The girlfriend then told her why not be a lesbian but as Tracey explained it was not just about a feeling but more a way of life.

She changed her name from Tracey to Thomas. Thomas started taking Testosterone medications and then surgically had his breasts removed. However, he opted not to have his female reproductive organs removed. His reason he said for this was that he one day wanted to have children. Oprah then expressed that as a man one doesn't normally have a feeling to carry a child. Thomas explained that his need for a child did not define who he is by gender but was a natural human desire experienced normally by both men and women.
