Transsexual Pregnant With Twins Mid-Sex Change

Spaniard interrupts gender reassignment

Share

(Newser) – A Spanish transsexual undergoing gender reassignment from female to male is pregnant with twins, reports the New York Daily News. Ruben Coronado interrupted the sex change process for fertility treatments after learning his partner couldn't have more children. Coronado plans to complete the sex change after the twins are born and act as their father. In the meantime, he's considering selling photos of his pregnancy: "If I don't do it, someone else will and they'll make a fortune," he said.

For wanting to sell the photos? Maybe. Otherwise, I see nothing wrong with it.

Wonderful - we go from the octupulet mother and now this! The media feeds into these stories and gives these people way to much attention. I can hardly wait to see the next "pop up ad" on my computer offering the pictures. Reply
