There is some crazy stuff going down in Oregon these days. First, a dude gets his home ransacked thanks to a Craigslist posting and now men are having babies.
That’s right, a transgender “man” is pregnant in Oregon. For those of you who don’t get the headline, “Junior” was the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie about a male doctor who decided to impregnate himself as part of a research study. Arnold was probably feeling a little guilty about “True Lies” and had to do someone a favor, just not the people who paid $8 to see that piece of crap though (thankfully, myself not included).
Anyway, this is no research study and certainly is no movie. Thomas Beatie writes his story in the “First Person” section of The Advocate. Here’s the opening to the story:
To our neighbors, my wife, Nancy, and I don’t appear in the least unusual. To those in the quiet Oregon community where we live, we are viewed just as we are — a happy couple deeply in love. Our desire to work hard, buy our first home, and start a family was nothing out of the ordinary. That is, until we decided that I would carry our child. I am transgender, legally male, and legally married to Nancy.
I don’t really know where to go from here. This is about a million times worse than the guy who got breast implants, although to be fair it was part of a bet. Not to mention the biggest sacrifice of the whole situation is giving up alcohol for at least 9 months! Now that’s crazy!

wait, you actually hate True Lies? you always pretended to like it when I railed against it! you ass!
as for this, I agree it may be quite unusual, but it’s worth pointing out that this man still has female genitalia, ovaries, etc. medically, he’s a woman who’s had constructive surgery removing the breasts, and some hormone treatment, nothing more. as soon as someone who’s medically a man can have a baby, then we’ll talk.
I’d do it for $2 million…wait, the dollar’s tanking, make it $2 million Euros…

The Washington Post is reporting that it may be a hoax. Didn’t the Governator already try it or something?
