Transgender Man Gives Birth To Daughter

Transgender Man Gives Birth To Daughter

29-year-old Kayden Coleman had been transitioning to male for ten years, when he discovered that he had become pregnant. The now-married father discovered that he was carrying his daughter Azaelia 21 weeks into his pregnancy. He explains that it happened while he was off his hormones in preparation for a double mastectomy.

After a doctor confirmed the news, Kayden and then-boyfriend Elijah began preparing for their child — even getting married to make their family official. But problems arose when the pregancy threatened to reveal his transgender status to family and friends who thought they were simply a gay couple. Elijah’s family didn’t even know that his boyfriend had not been born a man. Via MailOnline:

‘It was such a personal thing that I felt if Kayden wanted them to know he should tell them himself,’ said Elijah.

‘But when we found out Kayden was pregnant we knew we had to tell them. How could we explain the baby when she popped up after a couple of months?’

Shortly after, Kayden and Elijah welcomed their daughter Azaelia into the world.

Things were a little tough after that, with Kayden suffering post-natal depression and Elijah’s family saying some ‘unkind comments.’

But despite the couple’s own struggles since becoming parents, they do not feel that their daughter will face backlash from who her parents are when she is old enough for school.

But the couple is now better than ever raising their daughter, who is almost 2-years-old.

Kayden documents their family life on a YouTube channel, and told Buzzfeed; ‘We are more than capable of loving our children just as much and just as efficiently as any other parent.

‘Our children will not be any more confused or bullied about my being trans than any other kid is about something like having a single parent.’

This is definitely…interesting.
