Fernando Machado and Diane Rodríguez announced their pregnancy, believed to be the first of its kind in South America, on social media earlier this month and it's received widespread attention in a continent that has seen a sudden explosion in the rights and visibility of trans people.
Rodríguez, who was born Luis, is one of Ecuador's most-prominent LGBT activists and says she and her Venezuelan-born partner, whose birth name was María, decided to publicize the pregnancy to help change attitudes in the staunchly Roman Catholic society. Although both take hormones, neither has undergone gender-reassignment surgery, so the child-to-be was conceived the old-fashioned way with no known medical complications to date.

Sad!
And the cow jumped clean over the moon.
So a few years ago I worked with two male partners who were saving money for sex changes. .. beside being sick does this make them lesbians?? Both started as gay men then both became females and were still partners.
This person was born a female. No male will ever deliver a baby. Get over yourselves sickos!
Poor kid.
Lotta freaks man, lotta freaks.
The male is not pregnant. The female is. Their denial of reality is no reason for any deviation from the real truth here.
Play dress up all you want,this changes nothing!
So he is actually a she that dress like a he and she is a he and dresses like a she and he is the one that is going to carry the child? So he wants to use his she parts to have a baby. Did I get that right? It's all very confusing!
Yes..2am. A WOMEN who thinks he is a man. Is having a child with a man who thinks he is a women. Funny how nature works hey .. MEN DONT HAVE BABIES!! Satin loves to twist and reverse things helps his cause..
I feel very sorry for the baby
There is no crazy miracle here - a WOMAN is still having a baby, not a man. So what is the big deal?? In fact, I don't even see this as a gay marriage thing either - ultimately a man married a woman, just so happens that the man wanted to be a woman and the woman wanted to be a man. I could care less about gay rights, gay marriage, gender changes, etc - it doesn't affect me so let them be. HOWEVER, I do have a problem with a man being the "Woman of the Year" when there are MANY more women in this world who are actually WOMEN that deserve that title. To me, that is a slap in the face to women worldwide.
