Man gives birth to baby boy in US
Transgender man, Trystan Reese has given
birth to a baby boy in the United States of America.
Reese, from Portland, Oregon, was born
female but started taking hormones about 10 years ago.
He stopped when he got pregnant and has now
given birth to a son, Leo.
Reese suffered a miscarriage the last time
he got pregnant and believed he had missed his chance to have children of his
own.
Leo becomes the first biological child for
Reese and his husband, Biff Chaplow, who already have two adopted children.
“I would say it’s unique. I understand that
people are not used to two men having a biological child,” Reese told Fox News.
“The moment he was born was just like a pure
moment of bliss, like the happiest moment of my life. To see the very beginning
of Leo, of his life, was just like amazing,” Mr Chaplow added.
The couple said their friends and family
have supported their decision throughout but they have received some backlash
from people online.
