Am I the only one who is confused???

When the news about the pregnant man was published, I was pretty sure that this person is a trans gender, but I could not figure out how exactly he got pregnant, while he was married to a woman. Mystery solved, because last week he confirmed on TV that he is six months pregnant and also shed some light on how she went through the sex change and that how she kept her women organs and ultimately how she got pregnant. He said that since his wife could not bear children and she could, then they decided to use the sperm bank and get artificially inseminated. He also added that he and his wife are very pleased to have this child.

The whole thing is very 21st century for me to grasp and despite that, I was delighted to hear about the details and how this mechanic exactly worked. All my questions was answered except for two. Well one is an observation and the other one is still a question, and a big and crucial one too.

I think with all the progress in the field of medicine and all this sex change, they still could not take away the motherhood instinct and desire out of this man who is an ex woman. No pill, testosterone treatment and hormone therapy is able to extract that from a person's nature and how interesting is that? That is my observation.

And my question is: when the baby is born and somewhat grown up, how do they want to explain to this child that , well your dad actually gave birth to you, like no other dad can, but hey your dad was not born a male gender........

Remind me why we have so many confused people in this world?? Talk about the therapy fees that this set of parents are in for!
