NEWS: TRANSGENDER MAN GIVES BIRTH TO A HEALTHY BABY FIVE YEARS AFTER HAVING HIS FIRST CHILD AS A WOMAN


Kaci Sullivan from Wisconsin, USA is believed to be the first human being in the world to give birth living as both a woman and a man.
The transgender man gives birth to a healthy baby girl five years after having his first child while living as a woman.

Sullivan who already has a five year old son, Grayson, with his ex husband. The son, Grayson, was born when Sullivan was still living as a woman before transitioning. Now Sullivan has given birth to his new baby, phoenix, a healthy child weighing 8Ibs 90z, Sullivan underwent a C-session after 7 days in labour.

Phoenix was conceived with Sullivan's partner, Steven, 27, after Sullivan took a break from male hormones. The birth happens four years after Sullivan took a break from male hormones.
The couple have decided not to reveals Phoenix's sex until she is old enough to decide her sexuality herself. Choosing to raise her as gender neutral for now.

Sullivan said that it was not easy being pregnant as a transgender man because of the stigmatization that comes with it, including some abuses online but he was determined to break the stigma surrounding transgender parenthood.

"The moment the baby came out and I got to hear them cry was indescribable" Sullivan said. "It's incredible to think that i had made this little human. 
After 26 weeks of morning sickness and seven days of labour, it was such a beautiful moment. The connection I felt to them throughout my pregnancy has been an incredible privilege and the last nine months have brought my partner and I so close together."

Sullivan said that he refused to engage with people who were "perturbed" by the idea of him giving birth.

"They will try and find our safe space and violate it with opinions, but they are jerks." He said. "I don't waste my time or energy by giving them anything in return. 
Because I don't see pregnancy as inherently feminine and because I don't subscribe to make-believe gender roles. I wasn't threatened by the idea of pregnancy. It didn't make me feel any less masculine."
