German Man Gives Birth to Baby Boy

A Berlin man has become the first in
Germany to give birth to a baby.
He identifies as male, but has a female
reproductive system.
The baby boy was born on March 18th this
year in a home birth, as hospitals are required
to write the name of the mother in their
records when a child is born.
It was delivered with the help of a midwife in
the Neukölln area of Berlin.
On government records the new father, who is
transgender, is registered as a man.
This makes him the first male in Germany to
give birth, Berlin newspapers reported on
Monday.
He reportedly became pregnant through a
sperm donation.
Officially the child does not have a mother,
only a father.
The case is reminiscent of transgender
Thomas Beatie who has given birth to three
children in the US.
Transgender people are able to give birth to
children because even when a woman
undergoes hormone therapy to become more
physically masculine, they can retain female
s*x organs.
