I am so proud of him and so happy for him and his wife. This is a beautiful thing no matter how many would like to sully it with conservative and/or narrow minded opinions. This is the creation of a brand new life! Some of the same people who are condemning Thomas and his wife are the very same folks who have no issues whatsoever with cloned sheep and/or test tube babies. Why is it so wrong since Thomas is human and has the organs to carry a human baby? Who cares what gender presented at his birth? Physical gender is only a small part of who a person actually is.

I remain unconvinced by the whole "transgender" issue--at least aspects of it--and a "man" who can become impregnated does nothing to add credibility for me!
