A 22-year-old transgender man has given birth to twins after going through six rounds of artificial insemination in a bid to get pregnant.
Aaden Darr, a Starbucks barista from Charleston, West Virginia, was born biologically female but came out as transgender at 16 years old after identifying as a lesbian for several years and started a course of testosterone.
However, he soon came to realize that it was his dream to have a biological child - so he put a stop to his hormonal treatment and visited his local family planning clinic in order to begin the process of having a baby.
After five grueling months and six rounds of intrauterine insemination (IUI) - using donor sperm - Aaden finally fell pregnant with twins in August 2020.
But while Aaden was lucky enough to have a completely healthy pregnancy, he admits that he was 'scared to go outside' during that time because he was so self-conscious about his changing body - having started to grow breasts again as a result of coming off his hormones.
In April 2021, Aaden safely delivered twin girls, Quinn and Carter, who he is now raising with his girlfriend, Claire Behrens, 21, a barista, whom he met in May 2022.
Now, the father of two is speaking out about his experience in an attempt to help 'break gender norms'.
'When I realized I wanted a child I thought how I had been brave my entire life and done things people said I couldn't,' he explained.
'So why not break the gender norms even more if this is something I want to do?
'When I decided I wanted a biological child I immediately stopped testosterone and called the family planning clinic.

Does anyone know the long-term effects on the fetus of gestating in womb injected full of manufactured hormones?
No one can “come out” as “transgender.” No one is transgender.
Why did she go through all that trouble only to get pregnant, which proves she is a woman?
Seems ridulous to pretend she is a man and deliberately get pregnant. What does she think she is? male or female? She can’t decide.
She hasn’t broken any gender norms. She has created a visual surprise: someone dressing like a man, and who is pregnant. That’s not breaking gender norms.
What she calls “gender norms” are actually the observed ways in which males and females differ from one another. That is a fact of nature and wasn’t created by any oppressive patriarchy.
Exactly. This happens every day across the planet. Women get pregnant.
From the article I can’t tell who is more confused,
the writer or the wo/man ?
I think I’ll start using that as a trans pronoun from
now on...wo/man.
Nope. Not a man.
We need new terms, reversing the “trans” narrative.
For me a “trans woman” is a biological woman who has modified their body to appear r to be a man, while a “trans man” is a biolgical male who has modified their body to apear to be a woman. Only bioligcal women get pregnant.
DailyMail so obsequiously follows “correct” transgender pronouns in their articles it’s laughable. I don’t know if they do it mockingly or to stay right with the woke police.
It's not "norms" ... it's science.
…or for shock value. A lot of their coverage is just for shocking their readers.
So, a 16 year old girl thinks she’s a boy who thinks
he’s a lesbian...Now I’m confused.
Isn’t IUI expensive? Does insurance cover it?
Two people so far have expressed concern about the poor babies being born to this creature who has been dosing with testosterone and other hormones HEAVILY for years. They do not stop their “transitioning” hormones when they somehow get pregnant because “I’m a man AND I’m having a baby, dammit!”
Remember back in the 70s/80s when we (well, some of us) criticized yuppies and the upwardly mobile because they seemed to regard having kids as A) an opportunity for more attention and B) some sort of fashion accessory that the upwardly mobile young urbanite simply must have?
The trannies have gone one better!
Poor things.
Best wishes to them.
And good luck.
Correct-—it’s a woman that’s been injected with all kinds of chemicals to grow a beard. I’m sure that will end well for the baby and mom.
Men can NOT have babies...period!
“A woman gave birth to twins.”
Thank the Good Lord above that has been true forever and will be true forever. “Fake men,” transgender men, etc. will have xy DNA forever. And don’t let anyone tell you different.
These postings sure are getting less and less interesting to read. Who cares what a woman does with her life!!
Ditto
OMG, I pity those kids. Their mom is bat shit crazy
