Thomas Beatie: World's First 'Pregnant Man' Wants Hysterectomy

世界首位“十月爹地”渴望切除子宮

Thomas Beatie, the transgender father dubbed 'the pregnant man' is considering having a hysterectomy after the birth of his third child。

托馬斯·比提是位變性父親，人稱“孕夫”的他在生下自己第三個孩子後，想要進行子宮切除手術。

Mind-boggling pictures of Beatie, bearded and breastless boasting a bulging belly, emerged during his pregnancy。

看着照片中懷孕的比提，留着鬍子，胸部平平，卻挺着個大肚子，讓人着實覺得不可思議。

The transgender 37-year-old retained his female reproductive organs despite being legally declared a man in 2002.

儘管在法律上37歲的比提在2002年就已經是個男人了，但他在接受變性手術時選擇保留了身上的女性生殖器官。

His wife Nancy had to breastfeed their children as Beatie was unable because male hormones prevented him from producing milk。

由於比提體內的男性激素使得他無法哺乳，他的妻子南希不得不替他們的孩子餵奶。

He will explain why he is considering a hysterectomy in The Doctors, an American series similar to Embarrassing Bodies。

比提將參與錄製電視節目“醫生們”，這個美國節目是英國版的“限制級診療室”(這是英國的一檔電視節目，原意是尷尬的人體)。在節目中，比提將揭露他想要切除子宮的原因。

Beatie will describe the strain he has suffered while trying to conceive. Medical complications of being a transgender father will also be revealed。

比提還將在節目中披露自己嘗試懷孕時所承受的種種壓力，以及身爲變性父親所遇到的併發症等等。

Beatie will also speak about the impact of publicity surrounding the birth of his first child, Susan, and how negative coverage led to the boycott and subsequent collapse of his T-shirt business ‘Define Normal’。

比提也將談到他在生第一個孩子蘇珊時，公衆給他帶來的影響，還有媒體的負面報道是如何使得人們抵制並最後導致他的T恤生意破產的。

Living off benefits and struggling to pay the mortgage, in March 2011 Beatie said he was "desperate" and filed for bankruptcy。

比提現在靠着政府救濟來維持生活，還要爲還貸而苦苦掙扎。今年三月，他曾說過自己感到很“絕望”，並且申請了破產。

While he was first pregnant, Beatie was reported as saying: "Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am."

作爲世界首位“懷孕爸爸”，比提曾在報道中說過，“儘管我的肚子裏有個小生命在一天天長大，現在的這具男兒身仍然讓我覺得很穩定、很自信。”
