The tabloids said: Oregon man is pregnant!
I thought - meh, that's nothing. It'll blow over.
Then she was on the internet. Then on Oprah. Now she's on the cover of some magazine.
I'm not going to call her "he" like everybody else is doing for one reason: God made this individual a woman. An operation doesn't change that. Her flesh body is and will always be woman.
She lives in the city two over from me, Bend, OR. They had a spread in a local paper, showing pictures of her when she was a bodybuilder. She looked like Demi Moore in 80s workout clothes. They also showed her female lover.
I try to be nice, people. I do! You all know this. I try to be accepting of everybody that I encounter...but with this? I just can't. The photos of her shirtless as a man, with pit hair, etc...and pregnant? It turned my stomach.
I'm so sorry (God) for judging, but I was physically ill. I'm afraid to go grocery shopping in Bend because I might see her pushing a cart around the store and I'm going to want to put my cabbage back because the sight of her made me ill.
She was born a woman. She went against that and had an operation to try to change herself into a man. After that operation (which wasn't completely finished) she became pregnant as a woman does. This woman wants the best of both worlds...and she can't have it.
She is still a woman, her pregnancy makes that clear. Her scars on her body (shown in the photo spread) make that clear. Hair and muscles a man does not make. A man is more than that. A man is a man down to his heart, as a woman is a woman down to her heart. Her core.
The Indian Shakers (Christian) believe that when we're called to heaven, our Father will look at us and realize that we weren't truly happy with the flesh body that He gave us. That's wrong, imprinted on our souls and on our spiritual bodies. He's going to say, "Who are you? You're not the one that I sent down there."
Anyway - I'm done with my editorial.
