The first man in Europe gave birth

A transgender man gave birth to a son after his pregnancy thanks to donated sperm.

The unnamed man, born a woman, labored a baby boy at home thanks to the midwife's help in Berlin's Neukoellin district. He wanted to give birth at home because he did not want to be labeled "mother" on any hospital book - which was a mandatory legal regulation of Germany.

According to Iol.co.za, the father retained the reproductive organs of women, despite using hormone replacement therapy for many years to transgender. Details of donated sperms or any information about his relationship is kept in public because the father wants to protect his son from all attention. The child was born on March 18, without his mother, only his father.

A spokesman for the Senate committee in charge of the German interior said the man did not want to appear as a mother but only wanted to state his father's birth certificate and his request was respected. The father also demanded that the sex of the child "not be disclosed in all cases" but the authorities dismissed it and announced it was a boy.

According to sources, the German social welfare agency will closely monitor the child in case "there is a psychological problem" arising in connection with conception and the process of giving birth.

The German media was amazed at the news of this transgender's birth. " Carrying a pregnant belly instead of a beer belly" is just one of many titles that appear on the pages of the German newspaper about this special birth. Meanwhile, Falko Liecke, the conservative commissioner in the birth district, said, "This is something I've never heard or seen."

In 2011, the German Supreme Court ruled that transgender people do not "cut off their reproductive organs to be legally recognized sex" . This is why the child's father, despite retaining the female reproductive organs, is still recognized as a man.

Doctor Tobias Pottek, Asklepios West Hospital in Hamburg said, even if a woman lives a man's life and uses hormones to grow beards, as long as they still have ovaries and uterus, they still potentially pregnant.

This is the first transgender case in Europe, but in the case of Thomas Beatie, a transgender man with three children has long been known. Beatie is trying to divorce his wife but is denied because the law does not recognize his marriage.

After Thomas Beatie, the second pregnant man in the world is Scott Moore - an American transgender. You gave birth in 2010.
