Do chromosomes make one a man or woman? The woman had a sex change, that means her sex was changed... she is now a he. He had a baby. Hormones and their levels play a big part in it too.

There are more than two sexes in the world and science has proved this. What does this mean, act like a man, or sit like a lady? Are we caught up in labels again?

As far as the kid having problems growing up, well... well it seems to me that it will only be from kids and people that are narrow and small minded. The whole bully thing in this world is a problem (this is why we are in war, I am bigger, and better, and smarter than you thing). The game of one-up-manship is stupid. Parents that put down Thomas are the ones who's kids will pick on his child. Close-minded, narrow viewed people.

I have seen the big interview with Thomas and he seems like a great GUY. If I had met him I would have been attracted to him, and the issue of his once being a female would have made no difference.

Science has been trying to figure out how to get a man pregers anyway. And he had a c-section just like any other man would have to have. Don't you find that curious. I can bet you this though, Thomas is a good looking guy, was a beautiful woman before and I bet the baby is beautiful as well.

Women seem to have less of an issue with the whole sex change thing. I was a woman once doesn't tend to throw a woman. But if a woman said to a man, I was a man once, holy cow, watch out... I wouldn't want to be in the area when that doo doo hits the fan...

Yes hormones and chromosones make a huge difference. The "man" in this story was taking testosterone, and stopped taking it for a while before he/she conceived.

Secondly, there is no problemwith you being attracted to "him", just realize "he" has a vagina.

I don't have an issue with those that want to surgically change their gender. More power to them; I hope they are happy.

But changing halfway and going on the news and being a sideshow act because you are a "man" giving birth to a baby...that is just weird.

Imagine explaining to that kid why daddy had a vagina. Imagine the bullying that kid will go through in high school.

So... who explained your mother's vagina to you? Are you seriously thinking that the kid's going to be in high school talking about his parent's sexual organs? He has a mother and a father. What's the problem? There should be no need to be discussing parent's sexual organs... Unless school has changed an awful lot since I attended....

As for the child growing up confused, as to why she has 2 Fathers, well, there might be some confusion there,

She doesn't have 2 fathers. Thomas is legally married to a woman. It's in the article.

I hope mother, father and baby are all doing well.

I cannot believe the moral judgments coming down on this man! (Yeah, I know, "It's NOT a MAN"!!!) He's legally a man. He lives as a man. He "feels" like a man. He wants to be known as a man. Who am I (or any of you) to impose your moral up-tight crap upon him?

In my opinion, he's a person first and deserves my respect. He's married to a woman who couldn't have a baby and they had the opportunity to have their own biological child. More power to them!
