The first baby by transgender parents was delivered via C-section in the province of Entre Ríos, Argentina.
The
happy couple is 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.
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. This became possible due to
Argentina’s Gender Identity Law passed in May of 2012.
The
baby was due on December 22 via scheduled C-section, but Alexis started
having contractions the weekend before the scheduled birth, and the
baby was born “earlier” weighing 9.37 pounds (4.25 kg) at Hospital
Fermín Salaberry in Victoriain.
The couple named their baby girl Génesis Evangelina.
It
would be recalled that the couple has officially tied the knot in
November 2013. As you may notice from the photos, the ‘man’ has already
been heavily pregnant at the time of the wedding.
