Did you know he/she use to compete in beauty pageants? How the heck did he/she get pregnant again?

The same way they did it the first time around, artificial insemination using "his" egg and a sperm donor. I think "he" should have failed his psychological evaluation before they granted the gender re-assignment surgery. Just simply can't have it both ways. Either be a man or a woman. Can't have it both ways.

So let me get this straight. Some guy got another guy preggo buy putting that one guy's sperm into HIS egg and therefore impregnating HIM???
What man in his right mind would wanna donate his sperm to some gender-confused he-male? Does the guy know what they did with his own sperm and who the mother(father) is now?
How in the world could this woMAN get pregnant again?! What the heck? WHA?!?!?! O.0 *has an anurysim and falls back in shock for the future of humanity*

Yep, I'm not kidding. When "he" had the gender-reassignment done, "he" only had the outside altered, but did not have the internal reproductive organs, including the ovaries, removed. I suppose it was cheaper that way, lol. Anyhow, with sperm donation and artificial insemination... well "he" can still be pregnant.
As to the sperm donor. I don't think they get to choose who gets the sperm if they donate it to a sperm bank, which is where they got the sperm from I believe. If you donate or sell your sperm to a sperm bank, that's it. No more say about what happens to your sperm. But who would have thought about this option anyway. This may even have a negative effect on the sperm banks because there may be potential donors who might not like this idea and therefore refrain from donating their sperm.
I wonder how many doctors they had to consult before they found one willing to go through with the procedure...
