I like you too much for that to happen, but what you see as a freak of nature, I see as a person's right to make their body match what their brain is. (Male and female brains are different...it's possible that some people are simply born into the wrong body.) God may not make mistakes...but who's to say that God didn't intend for these people to be transgender?
I didn't call the person a freak of nature. I said the public attention is freakish. Um, what forum is this story posted in? "Strange & Stupid News"

If this person truly believed that she was supposed to be a man, and wanted to become a man, what's with this very public pregnancy? It seems to me this is someone who wants her cake and eat it too. It seems she's not really fully commited to becoming a man. There's still ambiguity there.

Her brain and body are still not in synch. Apparently she's still experiencing confusion. Is that a good situation in which to bring a child? Especially in the glare of publicity? Something is amiss here.

If that's what she wants, I'm not going to campaign to stop her. But I'm also not going to lead the band in her parade.
