A transgender man has given birth to a baby boy
in the US. Trystan Reese, from Portland, Oregon,
was born female but started taking hormones
almost a decade ago.
He stopped when he got pregnant and has now
given birth to a son, Leo.
Mr 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 Mr
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," Mr 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.
