Transgender man who has given birth to two children details the ‘trauma’ of pregnancies, admitting he used to let people think his bump was a beer belly so they wouldn’t judge him
- Kayden Coleman, 34, has a seven-year-old named Azaelia and a 10-month old named Jurnee with his partner
- Both pregnancies were surprises, with the first occurring when he had to stop taking testosterone following a mastectomy
- He called his pregnancies ‘very tumultuous’ and is educating others on how to care for trans pregnant people
- Kayden says he has been misgendered, turned away from care, and even offered an abortion
- But because most people assumed he had a beer belly, ‘I didn’t have to walk around in fear, worrying that people wanted to inflict violence on me’

A transgender man who has given birth to two children has opened up about his ‘traumatic’ experiences during pregnancy, and has stressed the need for better education on trans pregnancy among the medical community and the greater public. Kayden Coleman, 34, has a seven-year-old named Azaelia and a 10-month old named Jurnee with his partner, and while he is clearly a proud father, he describes both of his pregnancies as ‘very tumultuous.’ Speaking to the Today show, the Houston-based advocate and educator has detailed how he was misgendered, turned away from care, and even offered an abortion by misguided medical professionals.
