I'm guessing you all heard of that story... http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=4581943&page=1

What do you think?!

I have to say I'm having mixed feelings about all this...

ROFL!!!

I haven't heard about it and you gotta wait till I stop laughing to see if I'll have something to declare.

Oprah Winfrey sort of weekly topic, hahaha.

Here's what i think about all this...

I have absolutely no problem with LGBT people having kids, with people deciding to change their gender, etc. I'm pretty much a fan of the "Everyone should do whatever they wanna do"-philosophy (well, except if doing what you want = killing someone or something bad like that!!).

But I'm having 2 problems with this particular story... Well, they are mostly 2 big interrogations!

1- I worked in some summer camp once and there was this little girl who was 5 or 6 years old and really wanted to become a boy. She learnt about the sex change surgery and asked her parents if she could get it. So yeah, I'm convince some people were born in the wrong body and it's ok to change it, so their inside will finally match their outside. In this case, this woman decided to become a man. She had the breast ablation and started taking testosterone. She started looking like a man and legally changed her name and stuff. So she's now a he. That's fine with me.

What i don't get is... if you feel like a man and want to live your life as a man, why do you want to keep your female organs and have babies?! Is it cause you're not entirely sure you wanna be a man?! If yes, then... maybe you're not ready to become a man and you should wait a bit before making a change! Getting a sex change is a drastic change, it's not like you're getting a new haircut... so... I'm really wondering if those people are getting the help they need, like therapy or whatever...

2- Ok, so yeah, he decided to get pregnant and it worked. Congratulations! But why do he and his wife went to Oprah and other magazines?!? I'm concerned about the kid. That kid isn't even born but is already "popular"... And i don't mean "popular" in a good way. The kid's situation is quite unusual and i think that talking about it on national tv isn't helping the kid at all. Sadly, most people aren't open-minded enough to get their situation. I think it would have been better for them to keep quiet until they feel like people around them understand and support them before showing up on Oprah! The man's brother called the baby a monster, this isn't what i call family support

What do you think?!
