Thomas Beatie, a woman who changed her sex and now calls herself a man, delivered a healthy baby daughter Thursday. He was impregnated with donor sperm, with his wife Nancy inseminating him at home around nine months ago. ABC reports that the birth, which took place at St. Charles Medical Center in Bend, was natural, and not a C-section as was previously rumored.

Thomas Beatie already left the healthcare facility with the baby.

The Oregon resident previously said that he went through a hormone-based sex change but reconstructed only his chest and had testosterone therapy. He kept his female reproductive organs and became pregnant through artificial insemination. "He" thus is a "man" with a normal vagina and uterus.

Thomas and his wife Nancy decided to have a baby, but when the latter went through a hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis 20 years ago, they came up with the idea that Thomas should carry their child. He acknowledged the fact that he and his wife are facing the anger of some people who feel offended by their decision. Among those feeling offended by this were doctors, health care professional, friends and family.

"I am so lucky to have such a loving, supportive wife. I will be my daughter’s father, and Nancy will be her mother. We will be a family," he said this March.

Beatie labeled as "incredible" the experience of carrying the pregnancy for his wife, which not a first for him/her. Beatie is now at his second pregnancy after he went through an ectopic pregnancy with triplets. He described his first pregnancy as a “life-threatening event” because it required surgical intervention. Beatie lost all his embryos and his right fallopian tube in the intervention.
