This is a story that can get confusing at times… THE WOMAN WHO WAS A MAN WAS PREGNANT BY THE MAN WHO WAS A WOMAN! A father gave birth to his first child after being conceived by the child’s biological mother, how was that possible?
Fernando Machado was born a woman, biologically speaking. Although he lives his life as a man, Machado still has female reproductive organs. He married Diane Rodriguez, who is biologically male. Although she lives as a woman, she still has male reproductive organs.
This couple recently became the first couple of transgender parents in Ecuador, the person who carried her child in her womb is the father, Machado.
Here is what Diane Rodriguez said: “Becoming a mother has always been something I didn’t think I would succeed, precisely because I’m a transsexual. It was the wish of both of us and there was no biological obstacle to stop us, so we decided to do it. We live as men and women. The process that helped us get to this level was a difficult one for both of us. Knowing that it is our right, we decided to add a new member to our small family “.
I hope you agree that it doesn’t matter who gave birth, the most important thing is that a new life has appeared in the world, and the two can’t be happier with their newborn!
