The couple said that their experience may be rare in the country because “no one else has called themselves a biological parent in the transgender community as far as we know”.
A transgender couple from Kerala, whose pregnancy pictures had gone viral recently, announced the birth of their baby on Wednesday evening
Ziya Paval, 21, and Zahad, 23, were in the process of gender transition when they decided to have a baby, and Zahad gave birth on Wednesday
The couple had first considered adopting a baby but there were many legal hurdles, Onmanorama reported. Then, they decided to conceive.
Doctors had removed Zahad’s breasts but not the reproductive organs so it became possible for the couple to conceive
