Thomas Beatie, the transgender pioneer known for being the first “pregnant man” nearly 20 years ago, has blasted the rush for life-altering gender-affirming care for minors.

Beatie, now 53 and a parent of four children, said that the current trend to rush such procedures would have made it impossible to start a family 18 years ago, having waited till adulthood for such surgery.

“I’m glad I’m not a teenager today because, If I were, I have a feeling I would have taken hormones at a young age and maybe had surgery much sooner and I would not have had the children that I have today,” Beatie told the Daily Mail.

“With so much ‘support’ however well-meaning, I would have thought, ‘Yes, this is what other people are doing, and this is what I’m going to do,’ without being mature enough to understand for myself what I really want,” Beatie continued. 

“When you’re younger you think you’ve got it all figured out, but you have to remember your brain isn’t really developed until you’re 25.”
