WASHINGTON, July 4 (RIA Novosti) - A transgender man, who made headlines after announcing he was pregnant, has given birth to a baby girl at a hospital in Oregon,the U.S. the People magazine reported.
Thomas Beattie, 34, who was born a woman, legally changed his gender undergoing hormone treatment and realignment surgery 10 years ago. But although he had his breasts removed he retained his female reproductive organs.
Beattie, who lives with his 45-year-old wife, Nancy, was cited in the People as saying, "The only thing different about me is that I can't breastfeed my baby. But a lot of mothers don't."
Beattie's announcement of his pregnancy caused a sensation on the Oprah Winfrey Show in April. He said the decision was made to get pregnant as his wife was unable to give birth following a hysterectomy.
