An NPR piece spotlighting fathers focused on a transgender man giving birth and navigating life as a parent with two daughters for Father’s Day in 2023.
received a Father’s Day spotlight on NPR for giving birth to two daughters in a piece on Saturday.
"In 2013, he had just had top surgery — a double mastectomy — and had temporarily stopped taking hormones for the procedure. Coleman, who is transgender, said doctors had told him he couldn't get pregnant. A few years later, assuming that he'd been taking hormones long enough to avoid another pregnancy, he found he was expecting again," the article read."Today, he is raising two young daughters.
The article also allowed Coleman to push back against alleged misconceptions about transgender parents."One of the biggest things that people get wrong is that we hate our bodies, and thus, anything remotely feminine would be something that we will reject — including 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 said.
"Being a trans dad means 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. I think that because of that upbringing, I inherently have a kind of nurturing side. I also have insight into how women are perceived by society," Coleman said.
