On the Pregnant Man

There were hoax of man getting pregnant all these while and photos of this man with his tummy of a 6 months old was all over the internet. Very difficult to believe when we all know it's practically impossible because the anatomy of a man differs that of a woman. Ectopic pregnancy is literally fatal to the host, even a woman who had embryos implanted outside the uterus risk death; hence the same impossible thing in man.


So, out of curiosity, a search on Wikipedia despite we were told not to believe its content, finally explained something more reasonable in a 'man' getting pregnant.

Some "trans men" (female-to-male transgender people) who interrupt hormone treatments can become pregnant, while still identifying and living as men. This is possible for individuals who still have functioning ovaries.[10] Although these individuals were assigned female at birth, from the standpoint of gender identity they are pregnant transgender men.[11][12]
