Can a man get pregnant too? A 37-year-old "man" in the United States successfully became pregnant and gave birth to a healthy baby. The "male mother" named Bennett, a bearded, strong "young man", in October 2020, he gave birth to the next baby boy by caesarean section, Bennett and his husband excitedly embraced together. Bennett's appearance is completely a healthy man, but being able to conceive naturally shows that he is a woman.
The "little princess" who grew up with a beard
Bennett was born in California, USA, and when he was taken out of the delivery room, because the reproductive organs were not obvious, everyone thought Bennett was a cute little princess, and Bennett always thought of herself as a girl. He would have long hair, wear skirts, go to the women's bathroom, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But by the time puberty develops, strange things happen.
As a girl, Bennett should have become a standout, but at the same time as his chest developed, Bennett's voice began to become low, and he could clearly feel his protruding throat knot. Around his mouth, his beard began to grow wildly, and his appearance became more resolute. Are you a man or a woman? Bennett fell into a deep confusion, and for the first time he became suspicious of his gender. The drastic change in appearance has also made Bennett an object of ridicule, and he is a monster in the eyes of outsiders. Bennett was so desperate to find out who he really was, he contacted a specialized hospital and conducted a thorough examination of his body. The results of the examination were very unexpected, Bennett turned out to be an intersex person.
Mysterious intersex people
Intersex people are also called hermaphrodites, which refers to special groups of people with ears that are both feminine and male. On the chromosomes, they are different from the XY of men and xx of women, and generally have bisexual chromosomes, such as XXY. Intersex people will have sexual characteristics of both sexes, but generally only one reproductive system, but a few will have both male and female genitalia. Intersex people can make the transition to "one sex" through surgery. He turned out to be an intersex person, and Bennett was also shocked by this result, how he did not expect that he had been a yellow flower girl for decades and suddenly became a young man.
Choose your own gender
Bennett's body is more special, he has female reproductive organs, can have normal childbearing, but at the same time he has a male secondary sexual characteristics, the appearance of a strong man. Where do you go from here? I used to live and fall in love as a woman, but can I still accept that kind of life? After thinking about it, Bennett made the decision to choose his own gender personally, rather than being defined by others.
In 2014, Bennett stepped through the doors of a hospital where he was to undergo a series of sex reassignment surgeries to turn himself into a man. Since then, Bennett has lived as a man, no longer wearing skirts and lipstick, but regular injections of male hormones and shaving. In 2015, he chose to remove his already developing breasts, completely becoming a man in appearance. Things are going in the direction Bennett hopes, but in 2017, Bennett, who has been living as a man for a long time, is in love.
Amazing "Male Mom"
Bennett meets a man named Malik, and the two fall in love at first sight. Malik is a normal male, while Bennett still retains female reproductive organs, and the two married in 2019, after which Bennett found out that she was pregnant. With a lifelong lover, Bennett is no longer entangled in making himself a man through hormones, he began to raise a fetus at home wholeheartedly, in October 2020, Bennett was in labor, in the hospital he successfully gave birth to a boy, and named it Hudson.
Looking at the cute elf, Malik and Bennett embraced excitedly. "I know my body is capable of getting pregnant, and I recognize that the body is just a tool, not a gender stereotype" Although he has children, Bennett still considers himself a man. He would ask the nurse to call himself Sir, and he would consider himself the father of the child.
"People still sometimes intertwine fertility and gender, and I'm just a father who has had his own children." "My happiest moment is when my child calls out to my dad." Bennett now often shares the life of their family of three on social platforms, and Hard, who has two fathers, is growing up healthily. I believe that under the care of such a loving father, Hudson will be able to become an enviable person.
There are many intersex people like Bennett, but they are not all as lucky as Bennett. As a special group, intersex people have always been a group of people who are socially discriminated against, they are often treated unfairly, and they are often abandoned or abused in some underdeveloped areas. We are all equals, and I believe that with the progress of science and technology and the popularization of scientific knowledge, people will eventually abandon their inherent prejudices and treat the world equally.
