A BARBARA WALTERS EXCLUSIVE: THOMAS BEATIE'S FIRST INTERVIEW SINCE GIVING BIRTH THIS SUMMER AS A TRANSGENDER MALE

Hour Report Exploring What is a Man and What is a Woman , On ABC News' "20/20," Friday, November 14

A Barbara Walters exclusive � Last spring, the stunning announcement that Thomas Beatie -- a transgender man -- was pregnant sparked controversy and questions about traditional notions of what is a man and what is a woman? In their first interview since the birth this past summer of their daughter, Susan, Beatie and his wife, Nancy, speak candidly about the childbirth experience, raising their daughter in a non-conventional family and what the future holds for them. The report features exclusive footage from inside the hospital during Susan's birth and of the Beatie family at home. The hour also explores how gender boundaries are dissolving, how transgender couples are creating families, and the social and legal complexities of this brave new world. Walters' exclusive report airs on "20/20," FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
