This story, about a FTM transsexual who gave birth, is really fascinating. It says something important about gender that a person who identifies as a man would want to give birth. This is the first time I’ve heard of a transman giving birth–I wonder if it will remain equally rare in the future, or if a general softening of gender norms will make a regular, albeit uncommon, occurence.
