Man Gives Birth to Healthy Baby Boy

An American transgender man has given birth to a healthy baby boy.

Trystan Reese, from Portland, Oregon, was born female but started taking hormones almost a decade ago but stopped when he got pregnant and has now given birth to a son, Leo.

Reese has previously suffered a miscarriage the last time he got pregnant and thought he had missed his chance to have children of his own.

Leo is the first biological child for Trystan Reese and his husband, Biff Chaplow, and joins the happy family with 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 couple shared this beautiful picture on Facebook.

“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 happy family said their friends and family have supported them throughout but they have unfortunately received some backlash from people online.
