On December 18, the first baby to be born to transgender parents in
Argentina was delivered via C-section in the province of Entre Ríos. The
proud parents are 26-year-old Alexis Taborda and 28-year-old Karen
Bruselario. Alexis delivered a girl, but lives as a man and Karen was
born a man, but lives as a woman. Because of Argentina's Gender Identity
Law passed in May of 2012, the couple have both been able to legally
change their genders without gender reassignment surgery, which meant
that when they got pregnant via natural means, it was the man, Alexis,
who carried the baby.So what about the child? Well, the child was due on
December 22 via scheduled C-section, but couldn't wait.Alexis started
having contractions the weekend before the scheduled birth, and the
child was born "early" weighing 9.37 pounds (that's a large baby) at
Hospital Fermín Salaberry in Victoriain.The couple named their baby girl
Génesis Evangelina.
