Thomas Beatie, 34, the transman who made headlines when he announced he was pregnant in The Advocate, gave birth July 3 to a healthy daughter, according to ABC News.
Beatie, who is from Bend, Ore., told the magazine that when he made the transition from female to male, he decided to keep his reproductive organs so he could become pregnant.
“I’m a person and I have the right to have my own biological child,” Beatie—formerly Tracy Lagondino, a former Miss Teen Hawaii USA finalist—told talk-show host Oprah Winfrey on her show in April. Among other things, Beatie said that early on, he never felt female. Beatie’s wife, Nancy, said that she injected the sperm into Thomas from a sperm bank.
