#4 I agree with you. We, as a society, don’t have to accept whatever. “Thomas” can’t even decide which sex “he” wants to be so, yes, I would call into question “his” fitness to be a parent.

#3 The real issue here is “Thomas’” decision to get pregnant. He has made permanent changes to his body with the use of surgery and drug therapy for years. If caffeine can have an effect on an unborn baby, then what in the world do you think years of hormone therapy can do?

There are lots of heterosexual parents who aren’t fit. However, the issue here is someone who can’t even decide on something as basic as his/her own sex is going to have a child? No way! This child will suffer the psychological effects of his confused parents for many years to come.

• I agree that this was irresponsible. I am a woman. I was born a woman. When I was pregnant, I wouldn’t even take cold medicine out of fear of harming my unborn baby. The fact that “Thomas” has taken male hormones for years may, indeed, effect the baby. And the baby is a female, so I would be especially concerned.

  Thomas needs psychological help. There is value in accepting who you are, whether it is your height, weight, age, sex, etc. And there is truth is knowing what can be changed (such as hair color, for example) and leaving alone what is anatomically permanent.

  This is nothing to be happy about, just because it is a new concept.
