Sources: Transgender man has second child

BEND, Ore., June 10 (UPI) -- Oregon resident Thomas Beatie, a transgender man born a female, has given birth to his second child, sources told "20/20."

The ABC-TV series reported exclusively that, according to unidentified sources close to Beatie and his wife Nancy, the transgender man had a healthy baby boy.

Beatie gave birth to a daughter named Susan Juliette last June and his wife breastfed the infant, as the sources say she will do for the couple's newborn son.

Beatie, 35, underwent sex-reassignment surgery after being born a woman named Tracy, but kept his female reproductive organs intact.

He said his decision to become pregnant came about because Nancy was unable to bear children, "20/20" reported.

After giving birth to his first child, Beatie spoke with "20/20" journalist Barbara Walters about the instant media attention he received after revealing his first pregnancy to the world.

"I was shocked that it looped around the world in 24 hours," Beatie said at the time. "I mean, it was on Chinese Web sites and, you know, Web sites in Romania and Russia and Brazil."
