Here is an interview with a trans, non-binary, Two-Spirit gestational parent in Washington, DC. They are four months along in their pregnancy and will share what it’s like for them to be pregnant, how they plan to approach gender with their child, what indigenous pregnancy and delivery practices they plan to integrate into their process… and more!

In this video produced in partnership with FertilityIQ, Bran shares his pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum journey. He describes what it was like to change providers midway through his pregnancy, how he self-advocated with his medical team, why he hired a doula, and how being a Black transgender man impacted his entire process.

One of the most persistent myths transgender men and nonbinary people hear from doctors is that testosterone has sterilized them, experts say. While testosterone generally blocks ovulation, trans men can get pregnant while taking it, particularly if they are not taking it regularly.

It’s just one example of the misinformation and discouragement transgender men say they face from the medical establishment when they decide to get pregnant — a problem advocates and experts blame on a lack of training and research around transgender health care, as well as doctors’ biases.
