Transgender Parents Man is pregnant and carries his child out

Transgender couple gets baby: man is pregnant
Already, the child is announced as "the revolution of tomorrow". But even if the little one is not yet born, it is already causing an international stir. That's because the baby of a well-known Trangender couple in South America is delivered by the father.
Father is four months pregnant
According to a report by the British Daily Mail, a transgender couple in Ecuador are expecting a child together. The couple has long been known beyond the borders of the South American state. The expectant mother Diane Rodriguez was born as a male Luis. She is one of Ecuador's most prominent LGBT activists (lesbian, gay, bi, transgender). The expectant father, Fernando Machado, born Maria, is four months pregnant, according to the press report. His partner wrote on Twitter: "Our child is the revolution of tomorrow."

More acceptance for transgender
The pair had announced that they had decided to publicize the pregnancy in order to promote more acceptance of transgender and homosexuals in the Catholic society on the South American continent. Ms. Rodriguez told Mexican media: "It was the wish of both of us" and there is nothing to stop her. "We live as a man and a woman. I am a trans feminine woman and Fernando is a transmaskuline man. The process of getting here was complicated for both of us, "says Rodriguez. She reported how she used to suffer because of her family, which forced her to live on the streets. Fernando Machado, on the other hand, was supported by his family. Already at the beginning of October the two had pointed to the expected baby, which was naturally conceived, via social networks. According to the statements, both parents take hormones, but have never undergone a sex change. It is said that the transgender pregnancy is probably the first in South America. This does not apply to other regions of the world. For example, a man from Berlin who was born a wife gave birth to a healthy child in April 2013.

No criticism of the church
Congratulations to the South American couple are now piling up in social networks. The two continue to report diligently on the development. The day before Christmas Eve Rodriguez wrote on Twitter: "Our baby is listening to Mozart" and published a photo showing the belly of the father and headphones. According to "Spiegel online" the couple have not heard any criticism from the church. Although the Catholic Church is opposed to adoptions of transgender or homosexuals, it would be contradictory if they were now criticized for a natural birth. In recent years, some progress has been made in South America for transsexuals. In Colombia, for example, it has recently become possible to change the gender in the passport unbureaucratically. Argentina even pays transsexuals hormone treatments and sex changes.

Need for action in Germany
There is still need for action in Germany. Years ago, the Ethics Council had called for the introduction of the third sex. In 2013, in a paragraph on the birth of an intersex child, it was stated: "If the child can not be assigned to either the female or the male gender, the civil status case is to be entered in the birth register without such an indication." In another provision However, it was later clarified that entries such as "intersex" should continue to be inadmissible. According to this provision, the child does not have a third sex, but none at all. (Ad)
