I was going to start this Blog with ….. ‘I’m not narrow-minded but….’ when it struck me that people only really say that when perhaps they are being a little less accepting than they should be. We were putting this story on the site today about the American ‘man’ who is about to give birth and I was thinking, you couldn’t make it up, you really couldn’t.
Scott, who used to be Jessica, meets his soul-mate Thomas, who used to be Laura. Thomas is now ‘all-man’ but due to lack of funds Scott has so far, only lost his 36DDs! Fortunately for the couple, who are actually legally married as Scott is still a female for official purposes too, this means that he/she has retained her reproductive system. So Scott, who is step-dad to Thomas’ other children, will be Mum to the new baby. Or at least officially he will be Mum anyway. That sounds so wrong on so many levels, doesn’t it?
The transgender couple, who could have come straight out of a Matt Lucas sketch, apparently had trouble getting a midwife to take them on. Scott’s comments say it all….. ‘No pregnant person should be denied healthcare just because they are a man..’.
Should they??
