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.

There are trans people who do not wish to completely surgically transition, and those who feel that they're not ready for that step in their life. It's no less 'valid' or 'genuine' than signing up for the real life test the day you realize you aren't a man or aren't a woman.
Gender is not binary, as you perceive it to be. People can be somewhere in the middle and not be confused about their gender.

I've known a pregnant transman before, and I have to say... it's something that takes more courage than I could ever own. He survived that long managing not only the ups and downs and hormones of pregnancy, but also the incredible trial of being constantly confronted with a more and more feminine body. That takes guts, folks.
