I have to say that I am not a fan of Beatie. There are always exceptions to stereotypical male and female behavior and for that reason behavior is not a good way to determine gender. But when you start talking about biological functions that only one sex can perform, the lines are pretty clear. Not only could Beatie have adopted, no one needs to have children in the first place.

There are good medical and social reasons for not "going all the way" with a sex change, but any female-to-male transsexual who CHOOSES to get pregnant is not a real female-to-male transsexual. Simple as that. If technology became available that would allow men to carry children, how many do you think would volunteer? What Beatie has done discredits all trans people.
