61. This is not a man
Scott ,   Beer Sheva, Israel   (12.31.11)
If I understand correctly, a woman had a sex change operation to become a man & had a baby. You are the gender you are born, PERIOD. You can change your appearance, but you can't change your DNA.
62. Right 44!! And
NU ,   Jerusalem   (12.31.11)
my congratulations to the parents and the baby!!!

c.v ,   us   (12.31.11)
You right , God created the man free but the judgment is coming later according to our deeds .
64. Transphobia
Zuzu ,   Georgia, USA   (12.31.11)
Move along, nothing to see here. Man gives birth to a normal child and will be a better father and man than most of the other people posting comments.
65. israel is in nooooo way jewish
(12.31.11)

66. Mazal Tov!!!
female ,   Tel Aviv/Amsterdam   (12.31.11)
Is it a boy or a girl? Wish her a healthy, beautiful life with 2 loving parents!!
67. Remarkable
Paul ,   London UK   (12.31.11)
Great News. If it is possible it is god given and I think it is great. To all the comments stating disgust: We are in the 21st century, so all you people crawl out of your caves and open your eyes and wake up and learn about the world and more importantly learn to appreciate the great things in live. I appreciate religion and I am a deep believer myself but that does not mean I have to be stubborn and live in the middle ages. Good morning world
68. So what?
Igor ,   Israel, T"A   (12.31.11)
My Christian friends once tried persuade me that their G-d was born by virgin. Unnatural, IMO, but why not? What is important - healthy baby. My best wishes to the baby and the parents.
69. Israeli man gives birth
rina50 ,   Haifa, Israel   (12.31.11)
Congratulation to the Mr.Topper and his partner. Bless this little baby and his family and thanks, that in Israel gay couples where treated with honor and dignity.
70. to # 20
rina50 ,   Haifa, Israel   (12.31.11)
You are living in the 21 century, when everyone can chage their gender if they want. Why not. If this ex-women feel herself better being a man, good for them. People have right to be themselves. Again my blessings to new parents and I wish their kid a good helth and to all family long life up to 120!!!

Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (12.31.11)
You really are a religious nutter. I also wonder how this cild will cope but it all depends on the parents, how they love him, bring him up, present the whole unusual situation to him. Can't you even have any feelings in your heart for what this person must have gone through, starting with the slow ralization of having to cope with sexual identity until the final sex change? people like you are what makes seculars turn their back on religion.
72. Technically he's a woman !
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (12.31.11)

susan ,   charleston   (12.31.11)
and after the 120 ??? Theres more to life than on this planet for 120 years. please consider heaven as your destination of choice by asking Jesus Christ to come and lead your life while living the 120 year here. Feelings change, truth will not. and the truth is your not a person of just flesh and bone, but have a soul and a spirit that will live on. This situation in the end will be harder than they even can realize. My prayer is that they too will come to the truth of their hearts and surrender to The Lordship of a Good God Who Loves beyond anything...Through Jesus Christ. He is faithful where people arent.

Birdi ,   Israel   (12.31.11)
Susan, this is Israel here. We Jews do not believe in Jesus Christ. Thanks, but no thanks.
75. Pretty cool science project
Josh ,   Nachlaot   (12.31.11)
why get political?
76. A scientific question
rivkah f. ,   jerusalem   (12.31.11)
Topper had a sex change. Therefore, Topper is a woman. That is what Topper chose as his sexual identity. That is if gender is viewed as a construct. However, DNA does not lie. Topper's DNA clearly would indicate that he is male. Could a scientist solve this problem? What is Topper if the body is female & gave birth & the DNA is male?
77. Is "he" going to breastfeed?
Hannah ,   Netanya   (12.31.11)
78. not natural
princetrumpet ,   Plymouyth, MN. USA   (12.31.11)
Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Technology has outpaced our morality. What a shame. It's only the younger ones among that think this is "cool" and don't have a problem with it. No wisdom.
79. Intolerant pricks...
k ,   Isr   (12.31.11)
It's both sad and funny to see all you Ynet readers so appalled and disgusted. It's time to clean your mirrors, I think.
80. What does G-d say?
Melody ,   US   (12.31.11)
For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature;
81. Misleading headline . .
Granny ,   Vermont, USA   (12.31.11)
Sorry, no "man" gave birth in Israel. This individual might have had surgery to alter her apparent gender, but she was, is and always will be female genetically.
82. Isn't multi culturalism and ultra tolerance wonderful?
American Sabrah ,   Israel   (12.31.11)
Isn't it baffling how fascinated and accepting we are of other people's sexual orientations and religion/culture but our own? I'm not going to waste my breathe castigating Yuval for his transsexual inclinations. Its his surgeon who agreed to preform the sex operation should have his license revoked from him. This Yuval was a confused soul. Rather than have undergone the surgery, his doctor should have talked him/her out of it and suggested counseling. While its up to the person to decide how he/she wants to deal with her sexuality, as a society, its not our place to encourage that kind of lifestyle choices. Being a woman is difficult but replacing my ovaries with testicles is not the solution. I was born a female and I shall live as such.
83. Let us remember that a Male long ago gave birth to a Son
Rivkah   (12.31.11)
from His breast, Job in Scriptures tells us. Ever wonder why EloHIM (plural) is a name of God? In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. Who was the Word who was with God? It was the Messiah Yehoshua who was first born of the breast of God the Father Yahweh before he was a long time later born of a virgin, Miriam (Mary) who became the Sacrificial Lamb to reconcile a sinful world to God. Yes, a Man gave birth to a Son and it was the first birth ever.
84. Oy Vey !!!!!
Helene ,   Merkaz   (12.31.11)
85. A man? A mother is a woman .Period.
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (01.01.12)
86. was it a boy or a girl or was it
sam del patuco ,   gibraltar gibraltar   (01.01.12)
what was it a thing,an item,a unit,an alien?????????
87. Mabrouk
Sabra ,   Zinzibar   (01.01.12)
88. # 76
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.01.12)
You got it backwards. Topper was a woman who had a sex change operation & became a man. Topper kept the lower part of her/his body intact to be able to become pregnant.
89. Suprised Israel is not Westernized
jenni ,   Jerusalem Israel   (01.01.12)
on this issue. In all Western countries at this point a person who changes their gender is referred to by their new gender. So if a man becomes a woman , she is then called she. Not a he who became a she and vice VS. You are all sounding very judgementql and primitive. After all the technology is there. a family can consist of many things including people who are not related.
90. what news in that, being man or being Israeli?
observer ,   Egypt   (01.01.12)
