It was in February 2018 that 28-year-old Wyley Simpson discovered, to his great shock, that he’s pregnant. Having been transitioning since the age of 21, Simpson had been told by doctors that he could not get pregnant as he had stopped having periods and had been on testosterone therapy since 2012. He discovered it after 11-weeks of pregnancy and several bouts of morning sickness.

Though Wyley had a vagina and female reproductive organs during the pregnancy, the baby was born in September 2018 via emergency C-section. This week Wyley and his fiance Stephen Gaeth celebrated the six-month-mark of their son’s birth.
