Why is the "pregnant man" such a big news story???
The worlds first pregnant man gives birth - hang on a minute, this is a woman who has had her breasts removed and taken a few hormone pills. SHE
still has a vagina and all the other insidey bits so in my eyes that makes her a woman???
I don't get it???
that kid is going to be messed up in a big way!
legally 'male' according to US law.... which rather makes a mockery of the law I think!

Mr Beatie's obstetrician, Dr Kimberly James, told Oprah Winfrey in April: "This baby is totally healthy. This is what I consider a normal
pregnancy."
WTF! 
How dare you mock and belittle the medical science involved to produce this miracle.
There was that guy who had his twin growing inside him for years, I think in his abdomen, all rather nasty.
The mother is a woman not a man. She was born a woman and is still a woman internally, despite cosmetic surgery and hormone treatments. To call the story a man giving birth is just wrong, but then what do you expect from journalists?

Question is - who's the father then?? Eurgh!!
I'm confused. According to my Little Oxford Dictionary, a Woman is described as an "adult human female" and a Female is described as
"offspring-bearing sex".
So regardless of what medical procedures had been done before, this 'man', according to the Oxford disctionary, is now a woman again by
virtue of bearing an offspring.
Not quite sure how you capture that in a snappy headline though - suggestions welcome.

Shouldn't the headline really be
"Flat chested hairy chick gives birth to a baby" ??

No because I pretty sure thats happened before
Sure has!!
You would have thought there'd be some form of natural selection going on to stop it though!!!
Then again, as the old saying goes- all cats growl in the dark....
I have manboobs but still maintain my male genitalia. Am I now a woman?

Yes you are!!! I suggest you get on the blower to the papers and tell that that you're a bird that can pee standing up. They'll have a field day, tomorrows front pages. I hope you have a bank account big enough for the cheques!!!
