世界首位“十月爹地”渴望切除子宫

Thomas Beatie, the transgender father dubbed 'the pregnant man' is considering having a hysterectomy after the birth of his third child.
托马斯·比提是位变性父亲,人称“孕夫”的他在生下自己第三个孩子后,想要进行子宫切除手术。

Mind-boggling pictures of Beatie, bearded and breastless boasting a bulging belly, emerged during his pregnancy.
看着照片中怀孕的比提,留着胡子,胸部平平,却挺着个大肚子,让人着实觉得不可思议。

The transgender 37-year-old retained his female reproductive organs despite being legally declared a man in 2002.
尽管在法律上37岁的比提在2002年就已经是个男人了,但他在接受变性手术时选择保留了身上的女性生殖器官。

His wife Nancy had to breastfeed their children as Beatie was unable because male hormones prevented him from producing milk.
由于比提体内的男性激素使得他无法哺乳,他的妻子南希不得不替他们的孩子喂奶。

He will explain why he is considering a hysterectomy in The Doctors, an American series similar to Embarrassing Bodies.
比提将参与录制电视节目“医生们”,这个美国节目是英国版的“限制级诊疗室”(这是英国的一档电视节目,原意是尴尬的人体)。在节目中,比提将揭露他想要切除子宫的原因。

Beatie will describe the strain he has suffered while trying to conceive. Medical complications of being a transgender father will also be revealed.
比提还将在节目中披露自己尝试怀孕时所承受的种种压力,以及身为变性父亲所遇到的并发症等等。

Beatie will also speak about the impact of publicity surrounding the birth of his first child, Susan, and how negative coverage led to the boycott and subsequent collapse of his T-shirt business ‘Define Normal’.
比提也将谈到他在生第一个孩子苏珊时,公众给他带来的影响,还有媒体的负面报道是如何使得人们抵制并最后导致他的T恤生意破产的。

Living off benefits and struggling to pay the mortgage, in March 2011 Beatie said he was "desperate" and filed for bankruptcy.
比提现在靠着政府救济来维持生活,还要为还贷而苦苦挣扎。今年三月,他曾说过自己感到很“绝望”,并且申请了破产。

While he was first pregnant, Beatie was reported as saying: "Despite the fact that my belly is growing with a new life inside me, I am stable and confident being the man that I am."
作为世界首位“怀孕爸爸”,比提曾在报道中说过,“尽管我的肚子里有个小生命在一天天长大,现在的这具男儿身仍然让我觉得很稳定、很自信。”
