Thomas Beatie was born a woman, named Tracy Lagondino, but she went through a sex change, having chest reconstruction and taking testosterone to develop masculine traits. Trcay kept her ovaries and uterus.

After all these surgeries she became Thomas Beatie, a transgender man with specific female organs which helped him to become pregnant.

Beatie, 34, has given birth to a girl at an Oregon hospital, People magazine reported on Thursday. The baby was conceived through artificial insemination using donor sperm and Beatie’s own eggs.

Both Beatie and the baby are doing well, Beatie told People.

“The only thing different about me is that I can’t breast-feed my baby. But a lot of mothers don’t,” Beatie was quoted as saying by People. He had his breasts surgically removed during his transition from female to male.

In 2003, he married Nancy, who was unable to get pregnant because she had had a hysterectomy. Their marriage is a legal one because he is recognized under state law as a man.

“I actually opted not to do anything to my reproductive organs because I wanted to have a child one day. I see pregnancy as a process and it doesn’t define who I am,” Mr Beatie told the TV talk-show host Oprah Winfrey in April. “I feel it’s not a male or female desire to have a child. It’s a human need. I’m a person and I have the right to have a biological child,” Beatie said. The couple said that their parental roles would be fairly traditional, with Beatie as the child’s father and Nancy his mother. The couple still have to face some opinions and some questions raised by people that fell offended by their decision.
