A transgender man named Matías last week became the first trans man in Chile to give birth. He and his partner said they discovered “legal loopholes” that allowed them to go through the pregnancy with little trouble as a same-sex couple, particularly because Matías did not have genital reassignment surgery. 

That said, trans people do still face a great deal of discrimination and prejudice in Chile:

Alberto Roa, Movilh’s general secretary, said because of the discrimination transgender individuals face, he anticipates the couple will encounter struggles as two fathers raising a child in Chile. 

“The parents might encounter problems legally listing their baby as their own child since the current law is ambiguous in this respect,” Roa said. “The fact that the child might not legally belong to both parents would undoubtedly affect their quality of life, because the law does not address diversity types of families.” 

“There’s a huge social discrimination over people who don’t fit into gender norms, and it’s very important that we make it visible,” Berredo, who does not know the couple but knows their case, said. “[I] hope that someday we won’t be so worried about what others have between their legs, but about their character and dignity.”

Awww, congrats to them. I wish them all the best.
