Both seem to be right from a certain Time perspective.

“A woman who underwent sex change gave birth to a child now as a man. He got pregnant although he is a man now.
He has become Britian’s first “male-mother” despite sex change. He gave birth last year after reactivating his womb through hormonal treatment.
Thankfully the womb was intact and was not removed during his sex change, reports The Sunday Times.
However he went through proper investigation and research about health issues if he ended up become pregnant. He took care of all the possible health implications of retaining his womb.
It is suspected that he might have given birth through caesarean although it is is possible the man may have retaiined the ability to give birth naturally.
Beaumont Society, which help individual who want to have sex change, believes that this case might be the first of its kind in Britain. Earlier on such case has been registered each in America and in Spain.
The West has been making fun of Asian countries for their preference of baby boys over baby girls, calling them names for their male chauvinistic behavior.
People must understand that Humans ( I do not know about other species) prefer baby boys because the organism believes(if it can be called that) boys ensure the survival of the race.
It is baffling to note that, how a man can on his own can ensure the survival of the race.
But there it is.
Ask any one to answer honestly,including Women’s lib protagonists, they will answer yes to male child.

By logic Women should get along with women.
You would find a woman jealous of her sister after marriage, but no man is jealous of his brother .
If they were only allowed to have one child, more Americans would prefer it be a boy rather than a girl, a new survey finds.
Despite the intervening woman’s movement, the results are very similar to those found when the same question was asked of Americans in 1941.
The Gallup polling agency asked a random sample of 1,020 American adults whether they’d prefer to have a girl or a boy if they could only chose one. Forty percent said they’d pick a boy, 28 percent said they would want a girl, and the rest didn’t mind either way or weren’t sure…..
A depressed father who trawled the internet for ways to kill babies before his daughter was found dead in her cot spoke of his ‘long ordeal’ as he walked free from court yesterday.
Architect Mark Bruton-Young posed smiling with his wife, who has stood by him throughout, after being found not guilty of murdering their baby Harriet.
During his two-week trial, the prosecution claimed he had smothered six-month-old Harriet with a pillow after struggling with male post-natal depression.
In what is being termed as a scientific miracle, a pre-term baby girl weighing just 495 grams at birth probably the smallest in the country was presented to the world by the Oyster and Pearl Tulip Hospital after three-and-half months of care. On an average, a baby weighs 2.5-3 kg at birth.
The infant, said to be the baby with the lowest birth weight to survive in the country, was born premature at 27 weeks of pregnancy on October 2. She had to be kept in neo-natal care for 90 days. Doctors waited until the baby reached a “safe survival period” and reported the incident only after it had attained a weight of 2.4 kg.
A team of senior hospital doctors led by Dr Avinash Phadnis, director of obstetrics and gynaecology, and neo-natologist Dr Tushar Parikh have been involved in taking care of the baby so far.
Doctors said the girl, who is yet to be named, was born to Narayangaon resident Shaila Pawar (36), who had a bad obstetric history.
This was Pawar’s 14th pregnancy. The previous 13 pregnancies were unsuccessful, with three abortions and three intra-uterine deaths.
“She went to a doctor couple in Narayangaon, who realised that she might have hypertension related complications and referred her case to us when she was six months pregnant. She was put under the care of Dr Avinash Phadnis and put on anti-hypertensive pills to keep the blood pressure in control,” said senior obstretician Dr Neena Sathe.
A few days later Pawar had sudden elevation in blood pressure at home and she was rushed to Oyster and Pearl Tulip by her gynaecologist, where doctors decided to do an emergency caesarean after looking at her condition.
“Pawar’s baby was born premature, weighing just 495 grams at birth. The baby required artificial breathing support to regularise her breathing and then she was quickly transferred to the neo-natal ICU,” said Dr Tushar Parikh. “To salvage the life of such a small baby was challenging as there were no reports of a baby weighing so little surviving in India.”
The doctor said the last reported smallest survival was a baby weighing 540 grams.
According to doctors, babies born this small have extremely poor function of all body organs, including the lungs, heart, brain, kidneys, intestine, skin and adrenals. All of these organs need support for the survival of the child.
The baby stayed in the neo-natal ICU for almost 90 days and when discharged, its weight was close to 1,400 grams.
“We could have reported this case much earlier, but we wanted to ensure that the baby continues to grow normally and remains healthy after discharge. Now the baby is four-month-old and her weight is 2.4 kg,” said Dr Parikh.
