A Family in Transition

[elleng]

Two fathers and the baby girl they never expected.

'Paetyn, an impish 1-year-old, has two fathers. One of them gave birth to her.

As traditional notions of gender shift and blur, parents and children like these are redefining the concept of family.

Paetyn’s father Tanner, 25, is a trans man: He was born female but began transitioning to male in his teens, and takes the male hormone testosterone.

“I was born a man in a female body,” he said.

His partner and Paetyn’s biological father is David, 35, a gay man.

Their daughter, they agree, is the best thing that ever happened to them.
“She’ll grow up in a very diverse home,” David said. “We surround her with people who are different.”'>>>

1. We will never be simple enough to be described simply. Thanks for posting this ...

it demonstrates how complicated being simply who we are, is. It gives me hope that there is room enough for all of us to be us.
