Although
Beatie was born female, he identified with being male and began the
process of changing his sex in 1998. He started testosterone treatment,
had his breasts removed and became legally male -- but he did not have
surgery on his genitals, and his female reproductive organs remained
intact.

A
transgendered man who gave birth to a daughter earlier this year is
pregnant again, ABC News reported Thursday. "I feel good," Thomas
Beatie told Barbara Walters in an interview airing on ABC's '20/20.'
"Everything is right on track." Here, Beatie is shown with his wife,
Nancy, during his first pregnancy.
The
couple, who live in Oregon, wed in 2003. Nancy was unable to have
children, so they decided that Thomas would instead. He stopped taking
testosterone and started menstruating. After nine doctors refused to
give the donor sperm couple, ABC News reported, they simply bought some
on the Internet.
Beatie
told ABC News that the pregnancy did not make him feel like a woman. "I
did not feel maternal or motherly or womanly and pregnant. I felt like
Nancy's husband, and I felt like the father of my child," he said.

After
Susan's birth, Beatie did not resume hormone therapy, in the hopes of
having another baby. He was inseminated again two months ago.
Beatie
has written a book about the experience, 'Labor of Love.' The Beaties
are appearing on ABC's '20/20' Friday and were paid to be profiled in a
British documentary that will air on the Discovery Health Channel next
week.
