Thomas Beatie, "the Pregnant Man", on Oprah...Today!

Posted by Nicole Pasulka


Oh, Thomas Beatie, we named you Dad of the Day after reading your article in The Advocate about carrying a child as a transgender man because your wife wasn't able to. And now Oprah's been calling. Which makes sense, we guess, but we are feeling nervous. Though we love her book club and her "Princess for a Day" shit, we don't quite trust 'The O' to not get all weird and judgy on you.

Did she give you bucks? We hope so. 

Either way, you are looking pretty good, if just a little nervous in the promo. But we can feel that, we'd be nervous if we were on Oprah because of a toothache, forget about showing up as a transgender, pregnant, father-to-be. Between now and 4pm Eastern Standard Time, we will watch the promo after the jump and wait for your TV debut.

Yeah, but the hate and ignorance on the Oprah message boards - it will make you lose your faith in mankind altogether...

I'm worried for their safety, frankly.

Oprah better take this seriously and not make this amazing family look bad.

This is completely bizarre, but leave it to Oprah to find a place in every white bread home in America for pregnant transgender males. Jees.
