Now six-months pregnant, Beatie walked onto the show with a grey cardigan stretched over the growing bump.
The TV chat show queen was filmed patting Beatie’s bulging stomach during the hour long interview with his wife Nancy.
The 34-year-old transsexual was filmed for the show undergoing an ultrasound scan and preparing for the birth of their daughter.

Beatie said many doctors had refused to treat him and one warned him: “People would try to kill my baby because it is an abomination.”

His appearance on US TV was part of a media blitz to knock down suggestions the pregnancy was a hoax.
As well as the Oprah show, Beatie also gave a detailed interview to People magazine.
The former beauty pageant queen, who conceived through artificial insemination, confessed many people saw him as a “freak”.
He said some of his own family members had referred to the baby as “monster”.
He accepts that not everyone will understand why he and his 45-year-old wife decided to have a child, which is due in July.

The couple, from Bend, Oregon, said they had already thought about the task of telling their child how she came into the world.
“When she’s old enough, we’ll sit her down and tell her everything,” Beatie said.
“We will tell her how her parents love each other and love her very much.
“Our daughter is beating these incredible odds to get here - physical obstacles, social obstacles, everything.
“And in my dreams I dream the world will see her the way we do,as this amazing gift to us. As a miracle.”

Beatie,who was born Tracy LaGondino in Hawaii, caused a worldwide sensation last week when he revealed the pregnancy in the gay magazine The Advocate.
But after neighbours in Oregon poured scorn on the pregnancy it was thought to be an elaborate hoax.
Beatie legally became a man after undergoing a sex change operation - but kept her female reproductive organs.
He told People magazine he decided to get pregnant after wife of five years Nancy had a hysterectomy.

I’ll bet Jerry Springer is jealous. Oprah must think his trashy show is worth copying!

I have to say it…..HE’S NOT A MAN! HE’S A WOMAN!

Gork, don’t be such a transphobe.
He’s a post-op FTM, and therefore now most definitely a man. He just opted not to have bottom surgery (or at least postpone it) in favor of having a kid. So what?

Um….he’s not a man…he’s a WOMAN. I don’t get what all the hubub is about. Seriously are we starving so viciously for stories that a SheMale becoming pregnant because she still has all of her inside girlie parts becomes front page news!!
SHE’S NOT A MAN…SHE’S STILL A WOMAN!!! COME ON PEOPLE…DAMN.

Half man, Half woman? So she’s got the junk, but a uterus also? I’m guessing C-section, but I feel really bad for the baby. The parents just want a baby so badly, but would I want to be born by them? Fuck no. This baby is going to have an unfairly hard life ahead.

What’s to feel bad about? How many people have babies because they failed to responsibly take birth control or practice safe sex? Or those babies born to mothers who don’t really want them and don’t care for them properly? Here is a couple who wants this child, who will care for it and love it and raise it without hatred or fear of the non-standard American family.
Cody, you say you wouldn’t want to be born to this couple, but when you born did you know hatred or did your parents raise you to be so small-minded? Babies don’t know fear or hatred of such situations; babies don’t know the small-minded bigotry that you have learned so well. Babies want loving human interaction and to have their basic needs met. Anyone, male or female, trans-gendered, straight or gay, who can provide those things for a child deserve to have a child.

The fact that this couple has been willing to face all these obstacles speaks volumes. How could the baby girl possible feel horrible about being born into a home with loving parents willing to face any obstacle for her? This is a beautiful story and I support them on their journey.
Society is so closed minded that my only concern is for the safety of this family.

The ignorance in the comments here astounds me. I commend this fellow for being brave enough to share his experience with people. What he’s doing is not wrong; what is wrong is the perception that the problem is a person doing something to better themselves and better the world by raising a child with an open mind and a household based on love, and not hatred and rejection.
And who are any of you to tell this man that he’s not a man? On the inside, in the core of your psychological, emotional being, what makes you a man, or a woman? If you didn’t have your physical anatomy to reference, what would make you believe you’re whatever gender you perceive yourself as?
So many of you are so quick to make disparaging comments, closed-minded epithets, and outcry that just make you look like bigoted fools. Try and expand your perception a little bit, and perhaps you would not look like such small-minded malcontents.

So the gestation might be a little unorthodox but I don’t see why anyone would want to take that out on the child. By all accounts the kids will be 100% normal. It’s the parents which are a little odd.

(S)he’s packed full of hormones (s)he’s has a beard no breast don’t you think that will not influense that poor thing inside him/her and what about later i think the child will have lots

Many of you do pretent we live in a perfect world no let me tell you look arround and wake up and let me see that child over 25 years the parents just are thinking of themselves not the child thats my problem i feel sorry for that poor baby

This is not a man. It’s a woman who had her breasts removed, and took hormones. That does not make her a man, nor does it make this news. Guess what? I’m a woman, and I’ve been pregnant twice!!! WOW!!

“Beatie legally became a man after undergoing a sex change operation - but kept her female reproductive organs.”
it’s interesting that they changed the pronoun here, but referred to this man using male pronouns elsewhere. people seem to think that having a specific set of genitals makes you a man or a woman. come to terms with the times, people. gender is what you make of it, and this man has every right to safety and respect for his family.

I don’t understand why this is so hard for people to grasp, but FYI gender and biological sex are not the same. Before making yourself look ignorant maybe do a little research on the subject of gender identity and gender expression. Lesson 1 as I already said is that biological sex and gender identity are not the same. Lesson 2 is the shocker…there are WAY more than just two genders. Try not being so Transphobic and do a little research!

Why do you have to understand? Why does this individual have to be defined by YOU as male or female? Why can’t they just BE?
We ALL have something secret about us that others could readily discriminate against if they knew about it….. but it’s hidden, in our minds or homes.
This person is showing their difference (no longer a secret) to the world. Who’s got courage?
Let us leave each other to just be - in whatever life we choose and without scrutiny or labeling. Labeling divides us, love unites us. Try it on for size, you might like it.

All you retarded fucks posting comments about such nonsense bullshit need to be eradicated! Who gives a fuck, it is a he/she with her female organs in tact. So no big deal here but the fact that kid is going to have one hell of a fucked up life from all this publicity!

Again, like the other poster said. Oprah must be trying to be like Springer, her ratings must be dropping for her to stoop so fucking low!

@orange87, you are a total fuck yourself! You are born a male or female! If born with female internals you will always be a female! And where the fuck did transphobic come in? Is that another new word placed in the dictionary because of sick fucking people like this ? No wonder our country is so fucked up anymore, people taking freedoms to a whole new level of nonsense bullshit!

Some people are so closed minded. He is legally a male, mentally a male, physically looks like a male, he is a man. He used to be a woman. Gender identity is about a persons mental process, not physical appearance.
Its a matter of allowing one to be how they feel most comfortable. It is far from uncommom to have a relationship with these circumstances, not necessarily the pregnancy though.
Ultimately its about the child. She deserves a happy loving family and life like any other child and is likely to get one.
Let people live how they want to. Its not hurting anyone.

Why are you so angry and afraid of things you don’t understand?
