SHOCKER: Man Gives Birth To Baby Girl. His Wife Is The Father [PHOTOS]
The first baby to be born to transgender parents in
Argentina was delivered via C-section in the
province of Entre Ríos. The proud parents are 26-year-old Alexis Taborda
and 28-year-old Karen Bruselario. Alexis was born a woman, but lives as a man and
Karen was born a man, but lives as a woman.
Because of Argentina's Gender Identity Law passed
in May of 2012, the couple have
both been able to
legally change their genders without gender
reassignment surgery, which meant that when they got pregnant via natural means, it was the man,
Alexis, who carried the baby.
The baby was due on December 22 via scheduled
C-section, but couldn't wait. Alexis started having
contractions the weekend before the scheduled
birth, and the baby was born "early" weighing
9.37 pounds at Hospital Fermín Salaberry in
Victoriain. The couple named their baby girl Génesis
Evangelina.
Alexis and Karen do not only hold the distinction of
being the first transgender couple to give birth in
Argentina they are also the first transgender couple
to have gotten married while the groom was
pregnant. They officially tied the knot in November.
