We send congratulations out today to Thomas Beattie, the transgender man who has given birth to his second child, a year after the controversial pregnancy that shook the world and earned him a spot on Oprah's couch.
The 35-year-old man said he allowed himself to be impregnated because of his wife's fertility issues. Beattie was born as "Tracy Lagandino," but underwent gender reassignment to become a man. He stopped taking male hormone treatment to conceive the child.
Still, his wife Nancy will breast feed the boy, just as she did with their daughter Susan, who was born in Oregon last June.
Sources told ABC News it was a "natural childbirth," although their experience does give new meaning to the term.
