Attention People! I'm Here To Help!

I feel it is my duty to come to you people and inform you that you are being emotionally, and mentally manipulated. I know in these days it’s almost expected, but it is completely and totally true.

And what’s worse than the fact that you are being manipulated is that everyone saw how easily it was done and as a result everyone and their mom is trying to dog-pile on you.

But I’m not going to let that happen to you.

OK, here we go.

Thomas Beadie made headlines all over the place with a picture of him obviously pregnant. The headline was obviously attention grabbing saying something like “Man Pregnant” and instinctively the knee began to jerk.

Thomas Bedie started out life as a woman and is a trans-gender. I do not know if this is STILL called a disorder as so often misunderstood things are labeled as “disorders” until someone gets a good grasp on it and then it’s just another thing. Look at homosexuality.

Anyway, Thomas’ wife is infertile so Thomas manned up and got pregnant for her. I think that would qualify as the best present you could give someone and would automatically get you out of all Valentine’s Days, anniversaries, birthdays and Christmas’ for the rest of eternity.

“Honey what are you going to get me for my birthday?”

“That would be the child out on the swing, sweetie.”

Anyway, the fact that this “man” was really a woman was the source of all sorts of confusion and knee-jerking. If you just flat out went up to someone and said “a man is pregnant” then that would illicit an entirely different reaction than if you were to say “a woman who wants to be a man is pregnant.”

Because you know what that boils down to? A woman is pregnant.

And as awesome as that is, it’s nothing so spectacularly out of the ordinary that you say “WHAT?!?!”

So there you go. Nothing to worry about, folks. It isn’t worth the research, it isn’t worth the attention.

It is NOT “opening up the world to more diverse things.”

My question is why is Thomas writing for a gay magazine? I mean, he’s supposedly a man, yes? He’s got the beard, he looks like a dude, he’s got a wife and kids. I mean, that would be like if I wrote for a gay magazine.

Which doesn’t really sound like a bad idea as I think that homosexuality is really no big deal and more straight people need to come out and say so. I think homophobia is just plain silly and should be exposed as such, not as “the norm.”

But there you go, all sorts of people are supplying half-stories and half-truths in an effort to freak you out and practically force you to read what’s supplied, watch what’s broadcasted and engage in horribly emotional debates about what’s right, wrong, natural and unnatural.

The naturality of this is pretty cut and dry when you get down to it.
