There's no news today, so a number of papers have followed The Sun on the Thomas Beatie story...
'Pregnant' man stuns medical profession.
Married 'man' claims to be five months pregnant.
American man claims to be five months pregnant with a baby girl.
Sex change bloke set to be a mum.
Interesting that it's only the Indy that feel it necessary to question his gender in their headline. They also, for some reason, quote one Margaret Somerville who also has a reputation as being down on gay-marriage.
"You're not a man, you're a woman and you're having a baby and you're actually having your own baby."
Um yes, in the way that women always have their own babies. Unless they are surrogates I suppose... Or is she trying to suggest that Beatie supplied both sperm and egg?
"Just because you put on a clown suit, doesn't mean that you don't still exist underneath.'"
I don't even know what this is supposed to mean!
