The Pregnant Man?

Remember when the world made a bit more sense? Remember when it was only a joke for us to consider a man giving birth? Maybe it still is.

The "man" who has already given birth and is expecting again is actually a woman who went through a sex change. I guess he kept his womb, though. He/she has had to remain on testosterone in order to keep his manly appearance in the past but carrying a fetus to birth meant he had to desist the artificial hormones. Nature has it's priorities.

The big question here is...how much emotional damage will these children suffer and will they be able to live a normal life? Why would a female hate her genetic sex so badly that she would change it and then revert back long enough to produce offspring?

I wish the best for him and his children but I worry that we can't keep fooling around with nature or it just might come back when least expected and bite us in the butt.
