Man gave birth despite sex change
A MAN is believed to have become Britain’s first “male mother” by giving birth despite his sex change operation.
The man, thought to be in his 30s, had the child last year, said transgender support group the Beaumont Society.
It is possible for transgender men who were born women, who still have functioning ovaries and a uterus, to become pregnant.
Joanna Darrell, from the Beaumont Society, said the man, who was born a woman but had a sex change, had asked for advice about having a baby.
“The [Beaumont] society acts as an information hub and I referred him to GIRES, she said.”
GIRES, the Gender Identity Research and Education Society, is a charity that helps improve the lives of those affected by gender issues.
