Brave And Then Some
I came across this story about Thomas Beatie, who was born female but is now legally male. He is also 22 weeks pregnant.

I read about this the other day. It's so horrible how unsupportive and close minded people still are today - especially the individual's very own family.
It's pretty awesome that we can sort of say for the first time - a man is giving birth! I hope their baby makes it through and that people don't harass them.
I wonder though.. how fucked up will their kid be? Look at the kind of shitty world they're bringing their child into - she'll be teased and bullied and everything. :(
Regardless of gender identity and/or sexuality, parents should always be a little more responsible in their choice to have a child.
Still a really touching story though. <3
I thought it was brave too!
