My Take
Thomas Beatie's courage is what stays with me. Choosing to live openly as a trans man and then to carry his own pregnancy, all while the world's cameras turned him into a spectacle, took a resolve most of us will never be tested for. He could have retreated into privacy, but instead he became a speaker, author, and advocate, using his own body and story as the argument for transgender reproductive rights. I don't think he sought fame for its own sake; he absorbed the scrutiny so the next person wouldn't have to fight alone. That's a generous, hard-won kind of bravery.
