Many people thought it was an April Fool's Day joke, but the story appeared on Oprah so it must be true. Thomas Beatie, a pregnant man, revealed the ultrasound of his baby to Oprah. Since Oprah had him on, the world is now buzzing once again about this bizarre story.
A transgender man who is six months pregnant said in an interview aired by Oprah Winfrey on Thursday that he always wanted to have a child and considers it a miracle.
"It's not a male or female desire to have a child. It's a human desire," a thinly bearded Thomas Beatie said. "I have a very stable male identity," he added, saying that pregnancy neither defines him nor makes him feel feminine.

For me, part of what makes this newsworthy is how it went from fringey story to mainstream once it hit Oprah. Countless visitors worldwide will take this as a stamp of authenticity, though she's been burned before (I'm thinking of the James Frey debacle)
