"Man" gives birth to a girl

There is an article in The Straits Times carried the title "Woman-turned-man gives birth to a girl". [link]

Currently the "man", Mr Thomas Beatie, 34 who was born a woman before undergoing gender realignment surgery has given birth to a baby girl.

So, what are the challenges that "he" will be facing ?

"The only thing different about me is that I can't breast-feed my baby."

What about the challenges facing in the society?

'Our situation sparks legal, political and social unknowns,' he wrote, adding that he and his wife had experienced opposition from health-care professionals, friends and family.

Lastly, I will end here and will not comment on this news as in Singapore, the law does not permit "man" and man marriage. heee ....
