About that pregnant dude…

Posted By katie allison granju

Perhaps you’ve been following the recent news coverage (including an Oprah appearance) by the post-sex-change man who is now pregnant.

Well, Dr. Jim West takes issue with the issue:

Thomas Beatie isn’t, genetically, a male. Hence, ‘he’ isn’t having a baby- she is. Maleness or femaleness isn’t determined by what’s hacked off or sewn on, it’s determined by DNA.

[n.b.- what’s so amusing here is that the very people who are most likely to talk about a genetic predisposition of sexual determinism are the very one’s now most willing to utterly ignore that genetic predisposition and talk about ‘gender’ as though it were separate from sexuality].
