Trans issues

This article is about a transgendered man, f-> m, who decided become inseminated and have a child (he still has a female reproductive system). You may have seen him and his wife on Oprah. I wanted to post this article because i had never thought about a situation like this. The two most important parts of the article for me were:

"It's not a male or female desire to have a child," he said. "It's a human desire. I have a very stable male identity."

and

"The couple say they had been refused medical assistance by eight different doctors, before finding one who was prepared to help with the pregnancy." (I am so saddened by this. It's so frustrating that many medical professionals discriminate in this way.)

I also found it interesting (and appropriate/respectful) that the writers always refer to him as a man, but I wonder if the language used here would've been different had he not ever had surgery.
