A historic event took place in the country when a transgender couple had a baby at a government hospital. However, the couple decided not to reveal the gender identity of the baby and kept it private for the time being.
The baby was born through a C-section and both the baby and the mother, Zahhad, are in good health. The transgender community celebrated the birth of the baby and expressed their happiness.
Adam Harry, the country’s first transgender pilot, said he has never felt so happy in his life and added that the gender of the baby will be known when the child grows up.
Transgender activist Sheethal Shyam shared pictures of the couple on her social media accounts to express her joy. The couple had been undergoing hormone therapy to change their gender but stopped it to have the baby.
Initially, they had planned to adopt, but the legal procedures were complicated so they decided to give birth and stopped the hormone therapy.
The medical college authorities assured the couple that breast milk would be available for the baby from the milk bank.
