Thomas Beatie just revealed to Barbara Walters of ABC News that he is with child again through an exclusive interview!
Yes, he was the same Hawaiian-born transgender man who gave birth to a baby girl named Susan earlier this year (June 29). Thomas Beatie, 34, and his wife, Nancy Beatie, 46, have been living a quiet life in Bend, Oregon since her birth about four months ago. They have rarely been out in the public. In fact, they have been keeping their blinds drawn. They also installed surveillance cameras surrounding their property.
"We are a man, woman and child. It's ironic that we are so different but yet, we're just a family, just the same as anyone else," Thomas Beatie said.
The Beaties are already telling Susan about the unusual circumstances of her birth. Thomas Beatie reads his daughter, whom he calls "Sweetpea," the Eric Carle book "Mr. Seahorse," a children's picture book that shows how male sea horses carry their offspring. "And I point to the picture at the end of the book where Mr. Seahorse has his babies and say, 'this is what I did with you, Sweetpea, and you're just that one special sea horse.'"
"I just wish that people could be more tolerant to different types of families," Nancy Beatie said. "And I want them to know that we love each other, and we're going to love this baby."
