An Unusual Story of a Transgender Man Who Discovered He Was Pregnant and Decided To Give Birth to a Child

Logan Brown’s Journey: A Transgender Man’s Path to Pregnancy and Parenthood

Logan Brown, a transgender man, gained significant attention when Glamour UK featured him as a pregnant man on their cover. His story, though unique, reflects his journey through gender dysphoria, self-discovery, and eventually, pregnancy. Now, he and his partner, Bailey Mills, are raising their daughter and embracing their roles as parents.

Struggles with Gender Dysphoria

Logan recalls dealing with severe gender dysphoria from a young age. He would wear boyish clothes to hide his body, only to feel embarrassed. “It was tough going through that without anyone to talk to,” Logan explains. At 13, he came out as a lesbian, believing it aligned with how he dressed as a “tomboy.” However, it wasn’t until later that Logan realized the distinction between gender identity and sexuality. Through years of therapy and self-reflection, he finally understood that his struggles stemmed from being transgender.

Prior to his transition, Logan had been in relationships with women, but he ultimately focused on his own mental health and well-being.

Meeting His Partner, Bailey Mills

Bailey Mills, a non-binary drag queen from London, became Logan’s partner after the two met online. Logan was drawn to Bailey’s vulnerability in their videos and quickly reached out. “We went on a chaotic first date, and I’ve been obsessed with them ever since,” Logan shares.

Their relationship grew stronger, and two years later, they faced an unexpected turn—Logan’s pregnancy.

Discovering the Pregnancy

One morning, Logan woke up feeling strange and decided to take a pregnancy test. After stopping testosterone due to health issues, he was shocked when the test came back positive. Initially, Logan felt terrified and conflicted about being a pregnant man, questioning how it would impact his life and career. “We didn’t talk for two hours after I told Bailey,” Logan recalls.

However, as time passed, Logan grew more comfortable with his pregnancy. He realized this was a rare opportunity for him and Bailey to have a biological child together. “I had to accept who I was as a pregnant man,” Logan explains. “We’re fortunate to have this experience, and I’m proud of it.”

Facing Hospital Challenges

Logan’s experience with the healthcare system wasn’t without its challenges. While early appointments at smaller clinics were positive, his experience at a larger hospital left him feeling misgendered and overlooked. Logan believes hospital staff need better LGBTQ+ education to handle situations like his. “I’m a pregnant trans man, and I exist. Healthcare workers need to be aware of people like me,” he emphasizes.

Becoming a Father

After a complicated labor that involved being induced for three days due to the baby’s growth issues, Logan gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Despite some initial complications and infections, Logan and Bailey were supported by the midwives and hospital staff. Reflecting on the experience, Logan feels blessed and proud. “I look at her and think, ‘Wow, you’re truly precious,’” he says.

Logan’s story is rare but not unique. As more transgender men experience pregnancy, his journey highlights the importance of acceptance and education in healthcare.
