German Man Gives Birth to Baby Boy In The UK

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 Feb 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 organs.
