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.

I know you didn't say he was a "freak of nature" - that was my condensation of "flat-chested bearded lady." But yeah, I agree there is still ambiguity there. If he wants to be known as a man, I have no problem with that...I believe in acknowledging people as the gender they feel they are rather than what I see them as. But yeah, it's certainly not following traditional male roles to be having a public pregnancy like this. I have no problem with him doing it, but I agree that something is odd with the publicity.
