Though I hate Derrida and his PoMo-babble, I can’t help but find his idea on how undecidables fill people with fear and disgust most enlightening in this case…

Folks need to get a life. I say live and let live. But what I don’t understand … is why are folks talking about their genitals .. no matter what kind they got in their pants? Jess ain’t polite. Politics, religion, and genitals. Better left alone.

I do not hate this person however I absolutely do Not agree with his choice of sex change. I am a christian and this is certainly an abomination of God. His decision to have child is also wrong. This child will have to suffer for his mother’s selfish decision. He will be verbally and possibly phisically abused by children/people who do not understand that this was not his/her choice to be concieved in this situation.

Beatie is transgendered FTM. From what I’ve been told it is better for FTM persons not to have the surgery to create a fake penis since it doesn’t actually work. It is purely cosmetic. I believe that Beatie, like other FTM persons, took hormones which enlarge the clit so that it functions like a real penis (I mean he can use it to have sex with Nancy), which is better than the other kind of surgically created penis that has no real use.

Medical science is not as advanced for FTM gender reassignment as it is for MTF, which leaves many in the same place Thomas Beatie is. Between female and male.

If Thomas Beatie says that he is a FTM transgendered person and not a very butch lesbian, then I guess he would know.

Tim/Rick/Ryan.

So if a transwoman gets her wife pregnant, all the sudden they are a guy again? feh.

I think he’s brave, though perhaps a bit foolhardy. Of course I’m just a tranny, what do I know.

I go to a Catholic school in Canada, and we talked about him it in sociology today. Everyone in the class-the majority who are Catholic- and the teacher all agreed that he was completely within his rights to have a child and that the people who hated him were wrong.

I wish this jerk hadn’t gone public. Now other trans men are facing hate because of it. Like if this guy does a female thing we must all be women too. What a selfish ass.

Wow, my comments were deleted from here. Interesting. The facts remain, this is a woman with a beard having a baby. This is not a man. Men cannot in nature give birth. Just a simple scientific fact.

Just read the first dozen posts on Oprah, and I don’t see the hate. I see more hate on here, actually. The majority of the comments were along the lines of 1) This person is transgendered, not male (to me, fair enough); 2) This is more Jerry Springer than Oprah; and 3) This hooplah all seems designed to sell their book.

I just read some more, and it looks like the bible folk came out. Ugh. At least we don’t have them here.

You’ll notice that most of the neg comments come from first time posters who signed up only to bitch about the episode. Just how many of them are “loyal” viewers? How many only left comments after hearing about the show from some anti-trans mouthpiece? From one poster:

“This morning on the CBN program there was a Story about a Human Cow embrio study. What’s next?”

CBN–The Christian Broadcasting Network–The 700 Club. Natch.
