Transgender dad breastfeeds his babies
by Letitia Rowlands
via Essential Baby

A transgender man who had breastfed his first baby - despite having his breasts removed as part of his transformation from male to female - has now had a second child.

Trevor and his partner Ian had their first baby, son Jacob, in 2012. Trevor carried and gave birth to Jacob while on a break from testosterone treatment.
