Young people from Portland - transgender Tristan Reese and his partner Biff Chaplow - will have a baby in July 2017. They are the first couple in the world in which one of the partners has changed sex, who will become biological parents. In an interview NBC News gay couple frankly told the story of their love.

The couple’s relationship history began 7 years ago in Los Angeles, when they met at a brunch organized by their mutual friend. At that time, Chaplow was in a relationship with another person, but as soon as the relationship ended, he began dating Reese.

“When I started dating Tristan, I knew from the very beginning that he was transgender. By that time, I had done a lot of inner work on myself and felt very comfortable in my sexuality. I realized that body parts matter a lot less than we think, ”admitted Chaplow.

Biff noted that his family is surrounded by many transsexuals who have children, and with a partner it does not seem like this to be something strange.

In the first year of the relationship, Reese and Chaplow did what many other couples did: attend parties together and go to Las Vegas or Palm Springs for the weekend.

“I feel like the first year ... This is something completely different from all the other years. But in fact, we were not as open to each other then as we are now, ”Biff said.

Then, in 2011, a social worker called Chaplow and said that his sister was deprived of custody of two young children - 3-year-old Riley and XNUMX-year-old Hayley due to domestic violence. To which Biff replied that he was ready to pick up and arrange custody with his partner.

It was at this time that Reese and Chaplow married and moved the family to Portland.

After that, the new family began to share their parenting history with a wider audience.

Then Tristan and Biff decided to try to get pregnant and give birth to their biological child.

Tristan Reese, who went through hormone therapy, explained that after testosterone, his body can carry a baby for three to six months.

Reese stopped taking testosterone, and he and Chaplow continued trying to get pregnant.

The first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage in the sixth week. There was a time when they both despaired and thought that they had already missed their only chance. However, six months after the miscarriage, Tristan woke up with a strong feeling of nausea, and therefore stayed home while Biff took the children to school. A pregnancy test gave a positive result. Frightened after a previous miscarriage, Tristan did several more tests until finally, at the sixth week of the ultrasound, he confirmed the fact of pregnancy.

“There are many transsexuals in our environment who have children. So it doesn't seem strange to us, ”Reese said.
