If I asked you to list the first three words or phrases you associate with the word “man,” what would those words or phrases be? Would one of those words or phrases be “is pregnant”? If you answered “no” to that question: Congratulations! You are one of millions of Americans who are surprised by the fact that a man is pregnant.

Thomas Beatie, resident of Bend, Oregon, is pregnant with a baby girl. A human baby girl! Of course, he’s a female-to-male transgender, so he’s not “really” a man. But, in the eyes of the law and pretty much anyone who looks at him, Thomas is a dude. How are his neighbors taking it?…
According to ABC news, they’re taking it kind of badly:

Bend resident, Josh Love, said, “I couldn’t say that he looks pregnant. I can stick my stomach out and almost make it look like that.”

Fat people are so skeptical! That’s why they make such good scientists.

PREDICTIONS:

In three months, when a baby girl comes out of Tom’s vagina, you will see this in a newspaper:

Bend resident, Josh Love, said, “I couldn’t say that he gave birth. I can have a baby girl come out of my vagina and almost make it look like that.”

And then, three months later when Tom’s baby girl is blinded by an exotic parasite:

Bend resident, Josh Love, said, “I couldn’t say that she was truly blinded. I can have a parasite burrow into my retina and lay thousands of tiny egg satchels which burst open and shred my eyeballs and almost make it look like that.”

And then, 17 years later when Tom’s daughter graduates from Bend Union High School as valedictorian despite her disability:

Bend resident, Josh Love, said, “I couldn’t say that she truly overcame her disability. I can work hard, cultivate friendships and always have a smile on my face while excelling at debate club and almost make it look like that.”

And then, 9 years later when Tom’s daughter receives her PhD. from Columbia in public health, vowing to devote her life to combating the parasite which blinded her:

Bend resident, Josh Love, died in his sleep tonight. Josh was a loving father and a devoted skeptic. Donations can be made to “I can’t believe that blind bitch got a PhD.”
