wow, that's crazy, leaves me off very confused on how the wife got him pregnant.

I believe he was inseminated (He is a woman where it counts, at least for birthin' babies).

But how is she "lactating?".

I know it;s "different strokes for different folks" but this is just so---weird.

Baila: ahh I see, so the wife didn't get him pregnant, it was someonelse's stuff put in him/her.

about the lactating, I didn't think that would be a problem, cause I remember hearing how people would have nurses that weren't their mother, so if strangers can do it for other people's babies, then I suppose it's not that hard. I have no clue.

About a minute into the clip, BW says something that contradicts what every other article says... Thomas had his breasts removed but did NOT undergo any further operations. He simply did testosterone therapy so he'd grow facial hair, his voice would deepen and his clitoris grew to the size of a small penis.

But he's still got his vagina, his uterus and ovaries.

And he stopped taking hormone therapy in order to get pregnant the first time around so he's been off testosterone for 2 years now.

Now if legally, all it takes is elevated testosterone to be legally declared a man in Oregon, technically, Thomas should be back to being legally a woman since his female hormones (progesterone and estrogen) are now higher than his male hormones.

I wonder what the trans-community thinks about all this.
