Transgender man pregnant with second child despite backlash during first pregnancy
Transgender people have a gender identity or gender expression that differs from their sex assigned at birth. Some transgender people who desire medical assistance to transition from one sex to another identify as transsexual.
A diagnosis of gender identity disorder or gender dysphoria and a letter of recommendation from the therapist allows a person to begin hormone therapy with a doctor. That is usually followed by a period of living publicly as a member of the opposite sex and, finally, surgery to alter the genitalia and other body parts.

“But it’s important for people to understand that we have full autonomy over our bodies and we should do with it as we please.
“I can’t wait to meet my second baby and Azaelia is so excited about having a little brother or sister.”
