Transsexual

The Resume

    (circa 1973- )
    Born in Hawaii
    Birth name was Tracy Lagondino
    Female-to-male transsexual
    Had a double mastectomy and hormone treatments but kept his ovaries and womb
    Recognized as a man by the state of Oregon
    Became pregnant through artificial insemination (2008)
    Publicized his pregnancy in 'The Advocate' and on The Oprah Winfrey Show

Why he might be annoying:

    His wife inseminated him at home using a syringe borrowed from a veterinarian.
    When he talks about having the 'right' to have a biological child, he sounds like Eric Idle in 'Life of Brian.'
    He posed for photos displaying the disconcerting combination of baby bump and beard.
    Wouldn't adopting have been simpler?
    Margaret Sommerville of the Centre for Medicine, Ethics and Law at McGill University called the situation 'a deconstruction of our biological reality.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    His mother committed suicide when he was 12.
    He was a Miss Hawaii contestant.
    His wife Nancy suffered endometriosis and had to undergo a hysterectomy.
    He said, 'It's not a male or female desire to have a child. It's a human desire.'
    He insists, 'I am stable and confident being the man that I am.'
    He said, 'I am so lucky to have such a loving, supportive wife.'
