Just months after taking part in a media blitz that included a water-cooler appearance on Oprah, Thomas Beatie — a.k.a. the Pregnant Man — has signed a deal with St. Martin’s Press to write his memoir. The book — which will be titled Love Makes a Family: A Memoir of Hardship, Healing and Extraordinary Pregnancy — will “follow [Beatie] through his transformation from a girl scout and beauty queen to a fully legal and recognized man with a black belt in martial arts and a loving wife,” and chronicle his controversial choice to conceive a child, according to the press release.
Picking up the rights to Beatie’s story was certainly a smart move for St. Martin’s — his Oprah moment drew the biggest audience the talk titan has had in a year, and People’s best-selling issue in nearly two years featured a story on Beatie. Love Makes a Family is set for publication on Sept. 30, 2008.

Oh puleeese! And Oprah, the queen of ‘anything goes’ will be yet again pimping this trash on her show. The title can have all the schmaltz it can conjure up, but it’s still not going to change the fact that a WOMAN got pregnant. Whoopee!
He’s not a man! He’s a woman trying to be a man. But he didn’t have a complete change, so “he’s” a she. And women have babies everyday.
maybe he needs more money to finish the sex change
Can we please stop referring to him/her as a “Pregnant Man”? HE/SHE’S NOT A PREGNANT MAN!!! It’s a woman that’s only had partial sex change. Period. A man would never, ever have a uterus to carry a child. End of story (hopefully).
Nothing ‘extraordinary’ about this pregnancy. It’s a woman, living as a man, who chose to get pregnant. Where’s the surprise?
