May messes with my mind...
...but only for a minute. Visiting May Woo's blog for the first time in a few weeks, I was just startled by a post with a thumbnail image of what appears to be a Time magazine cover with the caption, The Pregnant Mr. Lee, Man (?) of the Year. What the ...?!? With my wife due any day now, I've been immersed in all the technical details of her pregnancy and thinking to myself daily how glad it's not me going through the process. Was I about to be sent over the edge into insanity? The image was from the web site MalePregnancy.com, which is an elaborately-designed "medical" site about a man named Mr. Lee who is the first male to become pregnant. After a search on Google, I discovered on About.com that the site is a performance art piece. With my sigh of relief came this additional search result on how a doctor in China is really working on helping male transexuals get pregnant.
OK, May. You got me BUT GOOD.

I am very apalled that a man can have this done to him. Why did the Lord create a woman for the man if we can allow this to happen. The woman was a gift and should be treated better than that. I strongly disagree with this phenomenon. It should not be allowed to happen. What about those children who don't have the privaledge to have loving parents? We should be fixing the problems of society instead of creating more.
