Facing my fear: I wanted to have a baby. But as a trans man, I was terrified of labor | Trevor MacDonald

I’d taken testosterone for a few years and then stopped in order to conceive. I’d also had chest surgery as part of my transition, so even as my belly grew, I sported a flat, masculine-appearing chest and I maintained my beard.
