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.
