So, most of you will probably have already come across this I'm sure. And please keep in mind it is reported in The Sun!

Not just the Sun! It was front cover of the Star too! :-)
The guardian gave it some good coverage too. That was where I finally realised that the covers of the tabloids were conveniently missing out the trans part!
Thanks Becky, I didn't realise that it had got so much exposure, I usually tend to avoid newspapers as its mostly doom and gloom! I only saw this after following a link from a forum.
Be interesting to see if any reactions filter back over the next few days.
I heard the story read out on Radio 5. They of course went with the American Man Pregnant angle and only elaborated later on.
I guess its not essentially any different than if I "fathered" a baby in my current status! Gawd Ive freaked myself with the use of fathered in relation to me!
I only got to see the Sun's report after following a weblink, but I suspect that most of the media coverage was centred around the "shock" aspect of it and conveniently missed out the trans bit.
Dontcha just love our press!
I popped over from Nicky's, um I read about this recently and some woman was crassly saying, well is he going to shoot the baby out of his penis?
And a friend of mine told her, um no actually that's not necessary, when I had my baby they spared my penis and gave me a c-section. Heh, she really shut that mean lady up!!
