Hey, ABC News - She's Not a Man!

As if you need further proof of the sad state of American journalism, this is the story over which journalists have most embarrased themselves in the last 9 months:

'Pregnant Man' Gives Birth to Girl

No, using the quote marks around 'pregnant man' does not get them off of the hook.

ABC News, in this case, and others continue to report this fake story as if they want you to believe that this is a man. I quote:

"Born a woman, Beatie, 34, who had had his breasts surgically removed and
legally changed his gender from female to male, leaped to prominence around the
world in April when the wispy bearded man revealed he was pregnant.

Despite years of taking hormones and living outwardly as a man, Beatie
maintained that he retained his female sex organs because he intended one day to
get pregnant."

Does being a journalist mean that you report any ridiculous thing anyone says without any discernment as to its truth?

Let me state the obvious:

- surgically removing your breasts does not make you a man
- taking hormones does not make you a man
- if you can get pregnant, you are not a man
- if you can deliver a baby, you are not a man

Did any of the actions that this person took change the fact that she has XX chromosomes?

The simple fact is that she is not a man. Period.

So why does the media keep reporting the 'Pregnant Man' story? Because some of you keep believing it and it sells 'news'. Stop it, already. Call it what it is - a fake news story.

Shame on ABC News.

And shame on the 'judge' who allowed her to legally change "his" gender.
