Pregnant, transgendered man Thomas Beatie went on Oprah yesterday and revealed that not only was he a beauty contestant when he was "Tracy," he was smokin' hot to boot--in that nerdy, Winnie from Wonder Years kinda way.

Y'all set your TiVos, because Thursday Oprah nabs an exclusive with pregnant man Thomas Beatie (née Tracy Lagondino) for her show. Thomas was [takes deep breath] born a woman, became a gay-rights activist, received gender reassignment surgery but kept his uterus (that's right, his uterus), married a woman, Nancy, and decided to carry their child because his wife had an earlier hysterectomy and couldn't conceive. Ever since this story broke in The Advocate, there's been a lot of talk about it being a hoax. But if it's on Oprah, it must be true. Here are a few predictions of what Oprah's reactions will be to this mondo gender-bender:


"Girrrrrrlllll!"

"O-kay. I have to ask this because I know our Oprah Show viewers are wonderin' the same thing--you DO have a vajayjay, right?

"I just want people at home who might be thinking you're a freak to know that you're not. You are a man. I see that. A very fiiiiiiiiine man. Isn't he cute, audience? If I wasn't with Steadman and Gayle, you would be my perfect partner. A man and woman in one body, like a Fruit Rollup.

"What I really want to know is...do you ever still dress like a woman? Have you ever tried on a pair of Louboutins? They're geeeeee-nius. If you don't feel like a woman now all knocked up and whathaveyou, you will after putting on those stilettos, girrrrrl. I mean, uh...

"You really have a vajayjay?"
