Contrary to popular belief, 34-year old U.S. citizen Thomas Beatie a/k/a the Pregnant Man is not a hoax. Thomas, who is six months pregnant, is expecting a baby girl with his wife Nancy this July.

The happy couple from Bend, Oregon have been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show and in People magazine. Countless news articles meticulously detail the reality of this medical anomaly. Although initially shocking, the story makes perfect sense.

Tremendous advances in medical science have changed the norms of society. Thomas, formerly Tracy, is transgender, meaning he began life as a girl and surgically altered his body to become a man, keeping his female reproductive organs for future prosperity. In that respect, although legally a man, his body is somewhat similar to a hirsute woman who has undergone a radical mastectomy.

With all the challenges Thomas faces, he could benefit from a tool like i-Lighter. In addition to all the many uses chronicled here, his unique situation lends itself to the following 10 top reasons:

#10 - Movie Rentals: Once baby arrives, Thomas will have difficulty finding time to go to the movies or watch television. He should open a Blockbuster or Netflix account, then read and save critic reviews to his i-Lighter account to help weed out clunkers.

#9 - Celebration Plans: Thomas could gather price information for invitations, decorations, and food, then compare and contrast quality, quantity and price for the best online deals.

#8 - Shopping: Why not i-Light and save price comparison information for baby items, organizing the best ones to print and mail with those party invitations?

#7 - Doctor Visits: Thomas could search and save relevant questions for his next doctor appointment. Who can remember everything that pops into mind? Using i-Notes, Thomas could add pertinent commentary like, "What's the best way to satisfy middle of the night cravings?"

#6 - Diet: Thomas could use i-Lighter to create a healthy meal plan, along with easy to make recipes and suggestions to counteract those middle of the night cravings.

#5 - Exercise: Healthy pregnant men need regular exercise. Surfing the web for fun and creative exercises will give Thomas a reason to jump out of bed each morning and save picture articles of the best exercises to his easily accessible i-Lighter account.

#4 - Parenting: Now is the time to search and gather parenting articles on specific topics such as “What to do When Your Baby Won’t Stop Crying,” and save those words of wisdom to i-Lighter.

#3 - News: Everyone and their brother are writing articles about the Pregnant Man. Thomas could create a scrapbook of clippings and pictures using i-Lighter's page and notebook features.

#2 - Communication: Whenever Thomas finds something notable, he could tweet it to Nancy using Twitterlights. Or post it to his blog with a click of his mouse. This would update Nancy about his activities and allow Thomas to add a bit of personal commentary such as, “Reading about these fragile rain forest flowers reminded me of you.” Aw. Isn’t that sweet?

And the number one reason Thomas Beatie needs i-Lighter...

#1 - Social Networking: It can get lonely raising a baby. Many people turn to the Internet for adult company. But, there may not be room at social networking sites for information like, “Hub2B is a great friend but gives awful advice about colic -- never trust her home remedies again.” Given his special circumstances, Thomas could i-Note snippets from social networking sites to keep tabs on new online friends.
