(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) Left-leaning and publicly funded NPR has gone off the woke deep end after celebrating Father’s Day by showcasing a transgender man, who gave birth to two daughters.
NPR’s show Morning Edition ran a series for Father’s Day called: “Voices of dads from different backgrounds,” which told the story of a pregnant woman, Kayden Coleman, who was medically altered to resemble a male, but remained a biologically reproductive female, Fox News Digitial reported. The transgender man was featured along with a military father and immigrant father.
Coleman, 37, experienced a pregnancy after stopping hormone therapy in 2013 to receive chest masculinization, a double mastectomy, which is also commonly called “top surgery.” Doctors said there would not be another pregnancy. “Today, he is raising two young daughters,” the news outlet reported.
Meanwhile, Coleman decried that as a low-income pregnant man there was pushback within the medical system because of preconceived notions of what a pregnant person is supposed to look like.
“I had to convince a lot of people that I was pregnant and that I wasn’t just a strange man trying to infiltrate the OB-GYN’s office,” Coleman told NPR. “I got offered abortions an astronomical amount of times. I think that comes from the idea that people think that trans people either don’t want to have kids or shouldn’t have kids.”
Coleman also complained about the lack of interest from the medical field in learning more about transmasculine people navigating pregnancy.
“For those of us who identify more on the masculine spectrum, just because we identify as such does not take away our desire to have kids. If we have the body parts to do so, why not?” Coleman told NPR.
However, Coleman suggested that being a trans dad offers certain advantages, particularly in gaining an understanding and insight into the female experience.
“I was assigned female at birth, and I was essentially raised to adhere to societal standards of what a girl is supposed to be, how a girl is supposed to act,” Colman added. “I think that because of that upbringing, I inherently have a kind of nurturing side.”
