She is really female. No doubts about it whatsoever.
She was supposed to have a sex change and become a man.But obviously this was'nt the case. She still all woman as far as I know.
In the late 1800's, the US government ruled the tomato was a vegetable (true story)
"This dispute has led to legal speculation in the United States. In 1887, U.S. tariff laws that imposed a duty on vegetables, but not on fruits, caused the tomato's status to become a matter of legal importance. The U.S. Supreme Court settled this controversy on May 10, 1893, by declaring that the tomato is a vegetable, based on the popular definition that classifies vegetables by use, that they are generally served with dinner and not dessert (Nix v. Hedden (149 U.S. 304)). The holding of this case applies only to the interpretation of the Tariff Act of March 3, 1883, and the court did not purport to reclassify the tomato for botanical or other purposes."
I call tomatoes vegetables, even though I know they're really a fruit.
Tomatoes are a fruit, biologically. The US law didn't change that and neither do I by calling a tomato a vegetable.
The law places importance nowadays on a person's gender, just as long ago they placed importance on a tomato being a fruit or veggie. The law doesn't change biology, though. The reasons law says these things are important are nothing like the reasons a 'PERSON' find important.
Men cannot be pregnant. Period. He's not the 'first pregnant man', he's a biological woman doing what any other bio woman can do.
But people are fundamentally different to tomatoes. People are affected by what other people call them, have identity crises, get born in the wrong body. Tomatoes have no concept of "self".
People should be respectful of what other people identify as and call them how they wish to be called. In direct reference to BlueJeans' comment, he might be a woman biologically but a man mentally. His sex might be female but his gender might be male, and I think people should be called by their gender if that's what they wish.
Men CAN be pregnant. Male seahorses, for example, become pregnant. Sex/gender is not defined by which one gets pregnant. The definition is much more specific.
He is a biological woman but a man mentally, and that's what's important, I think.
"Men cannot be pregnant. Period. He's not the 'first pregnant man', he's a biological woman doing what any other bio woman can do."
Yeah, even though it may LOOK like a man, it still has a pussy (otherwise giving birth would be a little difficult). Biologically speaking, it is indeed a woman (albeit a VERY freaky one).
What exactly is the difference between gender and sex? Sorry, maybe it's simple, but I happen to be a Dutchman and although my English is pretty decent, I don't get some nuances, so please enlighten me.
Sex is simple. It's just whether you are biologically man or woman.
Gender is the issue. It's more of a classification of a person depending on what they see themselves as.
To put it another way, I think gender is more of a way of thinking. It is whichever sex that you identify more with. If you don't identify with your own sex, then you may get a sex change, which really only changes your sex in the eyes of the law, not in biology.
Sex and gender are mostly the same, except for cases like this and in what's called Androgen insensitivity syndrome, where men develop looking and thinking like women (brain looks like a female brain, with more white cells, less gray, etc.), but they have internal gonads that never dropped. The AIS are sexual female and gender male, but they mostly think of themselves as straight women,i.e. they have less tendency to be "lesbian" as a percentage of the population than "actual" women.
Then there's functional hermaphrodites who are both.
Is it normal to be pissed about this pregnant man?

His gender is male. His sex is female.
So he can be classed as a male. Personally, I think gender is more important than sex.

He's legally recognised as a man (as far as I known) and calls himself a man. That's all he needs as far as I'm concerned.

You're placing importance on the law calling him a male. The tomato example is perfect because:
Why did the law call a tomato a veggie?
Let's also ask:
Why does the law call a person a male?
Neither one is for 'feelings'.
The law will call this person a male for a couple reasons, none of which are to make this person feel better about himself nor will change his DNA.
Here are the reasons:
1) gender determines who you can marry
2) how to handle a person if imprisoned
3) military service
Male humans cannot be pregnant. I've never heard anyone call a male seahorse a 'man'.
"Men cannot be pregnant. Period. He's not the 'first pregnant man', he's a biological woman doing what any other bio woman can do."
Yeah, even though it may LOOK like a man, it still has a pussy (otherwise giving birth would be a little difficult). Biologically speaking, it is indeed a woman (albeit a VERY freaky one).
You are entitled to your opinion,of course.Thank you for responding.
