The Bend, Oregon man who recently gave birth, Thomas Beatie, continues to drive mainstream news about transpeople and parenting (arguably mainstream media about trans issues of any kind). So I feel it is my duty to give you the video clip of today’s Good Morning America segment on the new bundle of joy, Susan Juliette Beatie.
The parts I found most interesting:
• Despite the C section rumors, 40 hours of labor and 9 pounds of bouncing baby, Beatie gave birth vaginally
• At 46, wife Nancy is breastfeading due to induced lactation. I always told me former older partner that it was possible!
• The daddy/daughter black and white portraits are suitably artsy and airbrushed making Thomas look at buff and sentimental and Susan quite adorable with her full head of hair. Like me when I was fresh and new!
