LAS VEGAS, NV - Meet Steven Scales. At a full seven months pregnant, it is he, and not Thomas Beatie, who can legitimately claim the title of world's first pregnant man. What makes Steven's story even more remarkable, though, is the fact that he isn't just any ordinary transgendered pregnant man - he's the Lizardman.
Body covered entirely by a serpentine tattoo, Scales now sports a swollen belly to go along with his bifurcated tongue, sharpened teeth, and reptilian tail.
The pregnancy, unlike the numerous body modifications, wasn't planned. Instead, it came as the unexpected result of a casual love affair with a fellow employee of the Circus Circus hotel and casino.
Born biologically female and human, Scales contends that from an early age he felt uncomfortable with his sexuality, and more importantly, his speciality. In his early twenties, he chose to undergo a number of gender and species reassignment surgeries, thus becoming the Lizardman.
Soon after, he moved to Las Vegas where he found employment at Circus Circus, working as a blackjack dealer. It was there that he met the Bearded Lady, and began the torrid love affair which would ultimately result in his pregnancy.
Wishing to maintain his privacy, Scales has kept both the sex and species of the fetus strictly confidential. It also remains unclear whether its superpowers will include infrared vision, the ability to change its skin color, or an extendable tongue with to catch criminals or insects.
