First I would like to congradulate the happy couple on the up coming birth of their baby.

Secondly I agree it is a fact of discrimination by the hospital. Mr. Beatie is the father and he has a wife for some reason that can not carry a baby so what is wrong with him doing so but wanting to be listed as the father. Nothing at all in my eyes. It is the bigetry and ignorance of people that just do not want to understand or learn of FtM or MtF.

Thirdly there are places that you can go and find out who your parents are. If you have been adopted or not. Have any of you tried to find out about your heritage. Maybe you will find you have a transman for a mother or transsexual for a father. Open your eyes and listen you might learn something.

Fourth why is it such big news if transgender has reached the jerry springer social recognition. The red necks, the blue collars and who ever else have been on that show and I have not seen such a stink made of them being on jerry springer.

Fifth what is the difference between a FtM or MtF coming to a TV show. I would be watching it for sure. Calling an FtM a whore just because they may show on television is just plain ignorance. Does that make all women that go on television a whore.

Sixth if a “straight” man was to be pregnant, no matter how he got that way or not. He would be worshipped and given everything he would need for his baby. Possible even be the richest person in the world for being first man to have a baby. So why can it not be the same for FtM. Simply he is a male and should have the same rights as any “straight” male that gets pregnant. I will bet though that you will not see his family getting things from the goverment or agencies like diapers, crib, clothing, etc. And that is only because he is a transman.

So get off your high horses and listen, learn, hear, see you may find out things you do not know and it is pure ignorance if you do not.

Everyone is human, have feelings, blood flow in vains, white, black, chineese, german etc. Have families and friends. It is not a disease they have but are being who they should have been at birth and for whatever reason they could not. Like parents that treat them as female when should have been male. Denial of oneself.

I’ll bet that know one is calling Ellen Degeneres a WHORE because she has her own show but she also has a female for a partner so that makes her a lesbian, rosy o’donnel also is another that has a female for a partner. Because a transman does not want his name to be listed as the mother you call him all kinds of names and say watch for FtM whore coming to TV near you.

Did you also know that transgenderism has been going on since the early 70′s or even earlier. I would also bet that you could sit beside a trans person and not even know unless told that they where trans.

Look for an FtM media whore, coming to a TV set near you…

I totally agree with this statement.

Shouldn’t there be like a record of biological mother, biological father (if known), and possibly who carried the child as that is not always the biological mother, just for record purposes, so we know exactly where we come from.

Then there could be a separate “parental certificate” to show who officially is raising the child, whether it is adoptive parents, two mothers, two fathers, single parent, whatever.
