Genetic Identity Disorder and Reversal of Gender Roles

Gender identity disorder is when people believe they are victims of a biologic accident and are cruelly imprisoned in a body incompatible with their subjective gender identity. this disorder is psychological because the physical body of the person does not match the body image they identify with.


Thomas the sensational pregnant man suffers from Genetic Identity Disorder. All though he was born a female he underwent various cosmetic and hormonal procedures to look and feel like a man. When he married a female Nancy who could not bear children due to a previous hysterectomy. SO,Thomas decided to lay off Testosterone for 2 years to carry their child. The sperm was donated and he was fertilized via artificial insemination. this video describes this procedure he went through to become male and then utilize his female organs to have a baby.

This case is very distinct and controversial because even though his role in the marriage is that of the male, he used his biologically female reproductive organs to conceive a child (which is the role of the female).
