Mother-of-three now keen to become a 'father' soon

A transgender from Arizona who grabbed the headlines a few years ago for giving birth to a daughter and then two sons, plans to have more children with his new wife.

Thomas Beatie is officially the the world's first married man to give birth and is recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records for his achievement. Thomas was formerly Tracy Lagondino and underwent sex change to become a man.

He first gave birth to daughter Susan after becoming pregnant with the help of cryogenic donated sperm as his first wife, Nancy, was infertile. Thomas went on to have two sons, Austin and Jensen over the next two years.

Over the years his marriage broke down because of his wife's issues with alcohol, he reportedly told the Sunday Mirror. He retained the custody of his three children.

Thomas has moved on from his previous marriage and has a new lady love in his life and the new couple want to have their own kids. The couple plan to use the sperm of the same donor who helped Thomas become pregnant earlier as he prefers the children to be bonded by the same DNA.

Incidentally, the donor is a blonde Lithuanian and is 1.8m tall with a black belt in Taekwondo, says the daily.

This time round, Thomas' new lady love, Amber Nicholas is most likely to carry the couple's child as Thomas has undergone extensive physical changes for sex change and might not be able to deliver a child naturally even if he gets pregnant. However, he still retains some of the female reproductive organs, the daily was told.

Thomas is extremely pleased and he says that both he and Amber might try and get pregnant through artificial means, which would mean that both of them might be pregnant at the same time.

Thomas is also excited at the prospect of enjoying the forthcoming pregnancy as a father.

The only dark cloud on Thomas' horizon is the thought that his kids might get bullied in school and be discriminated by the society, however, he is hopeful that the society will be more acceptable of men having babies in the coming decades.

    By the way, no transgender operation has ever been fully successful! Transgenders always retain features of their previous gender, which make them either look hideous or suffer psychologically. It's simply not good for them and the people around them, and now they want to have children and even that in the wrong way? How can we let this be? As a mother and teacher, I have a big problem with that and I'll fight to stop this monstrosity from taking root in our society!

    Hi John, the answer is in your question: these people cannot take responsibility for their actions! I dealt with them before and they are mentally unstable, extremely insecure, and self-obsessed. Also, they hate themselves (hence their desire to change their sex) and many more issues that the lack of space doesn't allow me to discuss here, but in short, they are undesirable participants to the human society, both from a moral, psychological and social perspective.

    It is a sad day when the human species who play with mother nature can not grasp the consequences of what the offspring will face when they grow up. He cares less if they have to be mocked that 'their father gave birth to them!'. Where is the conscience, forget about love, if he is still confused after a sex change then he should have had psycological therapy. I think this outcome is appalling and trust me, I am not a fossil,I just think this is wrong!

    I am also shocked by the positive comments the article has received... How can we encourage such enormities? The creature is neither a man nor a woman, yet it got recognition as the first "man" to give birth? So how about the observation in the article that "he still retains some of the female reproductive organs"? It's because of its female organs that it can give birth, NOT BECAUSE OF ITS MALE FEATURES, so its recognition by the Guinness Book is inconsistent with reality.

    Absolutely grotesque and horrendous! This creature is neither a man nor a woman: it's a monster, and I am shocked that it is accepted amongst us and allowed to raise children! Berneva and Kevin, this has nothing to do with love or science: its first wife was a woman so she couldn't have impregnated it (the monster used to be a woman, according to the evidence) and it's not science because the monster has retained its reproductive female organs, so it can conceive without any scientific help.

    Love conquers science, truly amazing and wish them all the happiness.

    May God bless and protect this family from society.

    If there is sincere love, anything is possible.
