CHRISTOPHER MACKIE ON THE NEWS YOU MAY HAVE MISSED
THOMAS Beatie, the transsexual man who defied logic and biology by becoming pregnant, gave birth to a baby girl this week. At least, we are told it's a girl – we can't be 100 per cent sure. 34 year-old Beatie – formerly Tracey Lagondino – gave bi...

First, you're all pathetic... this transsexual man didn't defied logic and biology, he was born a female and females can give birth... what's so surprising about that?

Second, sex changes a bit off kilter? WTF are you talking about? People are born with mental disabilities, physical deformities, deseaises, conjioned with their twin, and even die at birth, is it so hard to understand that a person can be born with the body of one sex and the mind and/or soul of the other? Think about this.. if you felt and think the same as you do now, but you had the body of the opposite sex, what would you do? You couldn't be yourself, you couldn't wear what you liked, you couldn't date you who liked, you couldn't do a lot of things that you do now. If that had happened to you, my guess is that you'd want to try to look like that sex that you know you are on the inside just like any transsexual tries to do.
