sorry to disappoint you, aiman. israel doesn't practice violent despicable sharia law. it practices tolerance for all, including you arab muslims that have no clue what tolerance is in the first place. i would rather have a nice man give birth, although unusual, than decapitation, stoning and mutilation and rape any day. the above is YOU. it is not US.

what would you arabs know about humanity and tolerance? keep smoking the nargilla pipes at cafes, being unemployed in the usa and lazy all day long. maybe you'll reach the modern times somehow.

Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (12.30.11)
I already anticipate the debate about wether or not the child is halachicly jewish or not.

38. birth of a child
israeli woman ,   jerusalem, israel   (12.30.11)
i am shocked by the stupidity and ignorance of some of the people who wrote in to this talkback.... how can anyone judge what another person is going through...it is scientifically proven that a person can be female and be born as a male, or visa versa..... so for this person to have had to make the hard decision to have the surgery was not easy by any means... so all of you people get off your high horses and let another person live their life as they see fit....ARE YOU YOURSELVES SO PERFECT??? is every baby born to screwed up heterosexual couples any better off???...i dont think so....I personally admire a person who is committed to do what they feel is good for themselves, this "man" should live and be well and raise his child with joy and love...

Rochel ,   Los Angeles USA   (12.30.11)
Who's the father? I mean the mother? I mean ??????????
40. You are nasty and not a real man
Bob Fairlane ,   DFW TX   (12.30.11)
Israel is the most disgusting country in the world.

(12.30.11)
42. real women cannot have a baby and this monster can...
(12.30.11)
shame on this '''man''
43. Man gives birth, this was done in the U.S. already
Elisheva B. ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.30.11)
the man in question, was also transgender, and when he went through the surgery to change from female to male, he had the doctors leave the womb/ovaries intact and in place. this is how men can have babies.
44. DON'T JUDGE
Anonymous ,   Israel   (12.30.11)
I am peripherally related to the father of this child (the one who didn't give birth), and he comes from a good, decent, kind family. Doesn't the Torah say that we should treat our neighbors as we would want them to treat us? And isn't another Jewish baby born in Israel a reason to celebrate?

Rochel ,   Los Angeles USA   (12.31.11)
I don't think the reactions are as much homophobic as the shock of a man giving birth. You may have to get used to being judged by people and not judged by people.
46. IT IS TO BE HOPED THAT BOTH THE CHILD AND THE GROWN UP WILL
SJOERD RUURD VAN DER ,   MULTIVERSE   (12.31.11)
BE/ARE IN GOOD HEALTH.
47. oh get over it!
pini   (12.31.11)
Times are achanging people. Move with it or stay behind! And all that child needs is love and support in life! Morons!
48. To all knee-jerk religious Yankee talkbackers
Avi ,   Israel   (12.31.11)
Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people. It is not the first step of heaven-on-earth nor a part of your apocalyptic fundamentalist religious views. It is a home, MY HOME TOO. You are NOBODY to judge me or my people based on your beliefs in the fairy tale holy-books. Please be so kind to create a mental holy land somewhere else. Thank you.
49. Israeli man gives birth
Inna Iranyi ,   London, UK   (12.31.11)
Mazal Tov!!!!!
50. #41, the child is innocent
will ,   WA, USA   (12.31.11)
The child is innocent and God created it. The child shouldn't be punished for the sins of the parent. These parents at least respect life enough not to destroy it before it was born. It might even grow up and accept Christ. What a miracle that would be for it to overcome such a screwed up beginning of life and all the ridicule it will endure from society. I will pray for this child.
51. He wants it all`
(12.31.11)
Be a man and yet have babies...ha ha...why cant he simply be a woman with a mustache?
52. Pregnancy
Dov ,   Forest Hills NY   (12.31.11)
So, did labor and delivery help this man feel more like a man?
53. I'm not sure how I feel
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.31.11)
I think the most honest thing I can say is that I need to think about this, a great deal. Probably need to give some thought to how I feel about transgenderism. It offends me on a certain level, but not on others. I am, however, confident that the child will be given a loving home and will have doting parents. Heaven knows there is no shortage of children brought into the world in heterosexual relationships that do not get either a loving home or doting parents. I do know homosexual couples who have adopted essentially unwanted children, and have provided excellent homes, educations and upbringings. Like I said -- I need to think about this. Right now, I just don't know. G-d bless this child who, after all, is completely blameless.
54. Chill
Michael ,   Brooklyn, NY   (12.31.11)
I honestly despise all this hate spewing out of peoples minds. Especially the remarks directed to the transgender man. Please people, you all speak of sin and yet you release all this hatred and judgement. The birth of a person is a wonderful moment - I wish the couple a very successful future with their wonderful baby
55. For God's sake
Joe ,   Newtown USA   (12.31.11)
What was ... was.. She is NOW a woman. Another Channuka miracle in the Holy Land...
56. @ NO.15
Ahron ,   Rishon, Israel   (12.31.11)
Except in this case, this person is bringing someone else into the picture. Someone who may not want this kind of issues to deal with later in life. It's very selfish of this woMAN.
57. @ No.24
Ahron ,   Rishon, Israel   (12.31.11)
Iris, You seem to have so much empathy and concern for this woMan, but very little empathy for the child. How will this child feel later on? You talk about how this Man didn't really connect as a woman, yet he obviously felt comfortable enough to get pregnant and carry the baby full term. You're right, hating an individual is not okay. But you're wrong about assuming that just because someone doesn't agree or like the actions of another individual, that they are teaching or harboring hatred.
58. @ No.29
Ahron ,   Rishon, Israel   (12.31.11)
Jen, Please leave your religious thoughts out of this. We're concerned about life here. Little innocent life and your petty comments from Paul does not help, it only distracts.
59. no, not rhetoric but truth
susan ,   charleston, USA   (12.31.11)
Its not rhetoric but the truth that a man cannot have a baby. a woman can have a baby. I believe this disorder is due to many reasons such as upbringing, abuse, hurts covered up and identity chosen or power of association. It may be easier to change the outside than deal with the pain inside.
