Pregnancy is not for gendered women any more :-)

The right to give birth to a child is central right, a right that has often been denied to marginalized people, either through forced sterilization or through social control. Today the world is changing. So much so, that a transgendered man broke through social control, and decided to give birth to a child. The baby girl is due this summer, I wish him and his wife all the luck in the world. I hope his story will encourage others to break the boundary one of the last boundaries and insist on their right to give birth, to parent, to build families after their own heart.

About Sotah

I am a young lawyer, a writer and a mom to a baby girl. I have three wishes: 1. Write a book, a short story, write something. My writing like my knitting projects are all unfinished. 2. Talk to God - aka have a profound revelatory spiritual experience, where I will know myself in the presence of the Divine. 3. Heal from the c-section birth of my baby - and have another baby someday, and a birth of wonder and awesomeness, a healing birth whatever corporal form it will take.
