WTF?

This is Thomas Beatie.
I'm sure you've all heard about this pregnant man in Oregon.
He used to be a woman, had a sex change to become a man, complete with removal of the breasts (shudder) and weekly testosterone injections.
When his wife could not conceive, he ceased the injections and sperminated himself.
NOT with his own sperm.
He can't make sperm. He still has a uterus.
Plus, that would be grossly incestuous.
He is due in July.
And I have just completely confused myself.
So a woman became a man and then went back to being a woman in order to conceive but is still technically a man and the father of the household?
Oy vay.
I am sure they are awesome people, and to each his own, but imagine the poor child:
"Here's daddy, 8 months pregnant. Isn't he glowing? That's you in there!"
