Am I the only one who knew transmen had their own offspring before the media told me?

Seriously? I was fourteen and looking to connect with other people like myself, and I accidentally found, THREE support groups for transmen who were having their own biological children ranging from donating their tissues to their female partner to carry from carrying their own with their male partner's.

I'm not complaining about the media coverage, don't get me wrong (okay maybe I am a little bit). But really, is it such a bizarre notion that some men have the urge to reproduce and are secure enough in their identities that the concept of male pregnancy doesn't phase them?

I can see this quickly becoming a rant, so I'll just reiterate my question: Prior to Thomas Beatie and now Scott Moore claiming fame as 1st and 2nd, did you know that transmen were out there reproducing? *mock gasp!*

As per usual, hateful remarks will make me laugh... and I asked this question here because it's trans related. Thanks all!

    I'll see your media references and raise you Patrick and Matt, with their son Blake!

    Granted, that's a media reference too... but I think it's strange that people make such a to do over male pregnancy too... It's the miracle of life, and you KNOW that these kids will be loved by their fathers forever. What's wrong with that?

    Jay, trust me man you aren't the only one who knew. Its insane that this keeps happening but all it really is, is just people looking for their 15 mins of fame.

    [trans]men are just that. [trans]men. which mean they may or may not have the capacity to bear children.
