ABC News hit an all-time low when they allowed and broadcasts Oprah’s and Barbara Walters interviews of Thomas Beatty a transgender man who has carried and given birth to a baby. To add insult to injury, the title of Barbara Walters broadcast? “What is a Man, What is a Woman? The images of this woman who has assumed the identity and looks of a male (minus the penis) is downright sad for our country. Thomas Beatty and his wife, Nancy, of Oregon claims that he has always identified as a male and is no less the child’s father even though he has all sexual and reproductive organs of a female. On top of this he and his wife (who is a lesbian) insist this is a “normal” family like any other. Many Americans I am sure beg to differ, but, how many of us are speaking out against the publicity and the normalization of these and stories like his? What makes it most abnormal is the fact that The Beattie’s chose to involve a child in their twisted and deviant lifestyle. This is not normal. To involve a child and force a child to live with the deviance of these choices and the abnormalities of their sex and gender is abusive and irresponsible.
As a society where is the outrage when we see children brought into the world to suffer this way. Of course, adults have the right to alter themselves to their own detriment and consequences, but, shouldn’t children be protected from this sort of forced gender-confusion indoctrination. On the upside, nine doctors denied the Beattie’s request to artificially inseminate him/her. Well, at least there is some hope.
