The other day, reading a gossip magazine I found a really interesting article. The article talked about a woman that became a man, found a partner and decided to have a baby. Well, my face changed to a complete  question mark when I read that the male, who once was a female and was not happy with his/her sexual body, decides to carry the baby!

Well, aside my personal opinion about it, I will like to discuss the fact of bringing such a personal issue to the press. Some people argue that the press went to the couple since the occasion was unique and odd; some argue that the couple went looking for the press to tell their story to the world. But i ask myself, did someone thought how this fact will affect the child when people come ask him ? Was it really necessary to make it public?

What seams pretty odd to me is the fact that this male who was a female before, on his/her sexual change process he/she decided to keep his/her feminine reproductive organs.

As I read in an interview made to the couple, the woman could not have kids anymore, and that is why the couple decided that he will be the baby carrier. But, did he knew when he kept his organs he will need them some day? And does he have to go to Oprah to talk about it? I really don’t know how much this couple had a “baby” desire or a “fame” desire.
