First Pregnant Man Gives Birth To A
Baby Girl In Argentina (photos)
Last Wednesday, December 18, the first
baby to be born to transgender parents in
Argentina was delivered via C-section in the
province of Entre Ríos. The proud parents
are 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. Because
of Argentina's Gender Identity Law passed
in May of 2012, 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. So what about the baby?
Well, the baby was due on December 22 via
scheduled C-section, but couldn't wait.
Alexis started having contractions the
weekend before the scheduled birth, and the
baby was born "early" weighing 9.37 pounds
(that's a big baby) at Hospital Fermín
Salaberry in Victoriain. The couple named
their baby girl Génesis Evangelina.
