Diane Rodriguez, a 33-year-old a transwoman who used to be a man has
revealed she's expecting her first child with her transgender male
partner. She and her partner Fernando Machado, 22, a transman who used
to be a woman, met on social media two years ago. And now, they are
about to become the first transgender couple in Ecuador to have a baby.
Fernando, from Venezuela, is three months pregnant and moved to live with Diane in Ecuador after meeting online.
Neither Diane nor Fernando has undergone surgery during their gender
reassignment process, so becoming pregnant was still possible.
Upon announcing their decision to become transgender, Fernando was
supported by his loved ones after explaining that he didn't feel
comfortable being a woman. However Diane was rejected by her family, and
even had a spell being homeless.
Diane said: "This was the wish of both of us and there was nothing biological or legal to stop us, so we decided to do it"
"We live as man and woman. I’m a transfeminine woman and Fernando is a
transmasculine man. "The process to get here was complex for each of
us."Knowing it’s our right, we decided to add another member to our
family. "
