‘First man in UK to give birth’ finds sperm donor on Facebook after pausing transition to become father
3/18
A British man who fell pregnant after he used Facebook to find a sperm donor has said he will be the “greatest dad”.
Hayden Cross, 20, joined a sperm donation group on the social network when he was told he would not be able to freeze his eggs during his hormonal gender transitioning.
He is now four months pregnant and may be the first British man ever to give birth, according to The Sun on Sunday.
Mr Cross said his first attempt using donor sperm had been successful and he would continue his transition process to remove his breasts and ovaries as soon as he has given birth.
“Having a biological child has always meant a lot to me,” he told the newspaper. “I’ve always wanted kids.”
Mr Cross, who is from Gloucester and has been living legally as a man for three years, applied to have his eggs frozen on the NHS in the hope the procedure would allow him to have children in the future.

But when the £4,000 (roughly C$6,500) process was refused, he decided to find an anonymous donor on Facebook instead.
“I looked on Facebook for a group and found one — it’s been shut down now. I didn’t have to pay,” he told The Sun.
“I want the baby to have the best. I’ll be the greatest dad.”
Mr Cross said he wanted to become a parent now so he could complete his transition as soon as possible and “enjoy being the way I was meant to be”.
In September, a transgender couple became the first in South America to have a child together.
Fernando Machado, who was assigned female at birth and his partner Diane Rodriguez, who was assigned male at birth, welcomed their first child and expressed their desire to have more children.
The couple, who live in Ecuador, had not undergone full gender reassignment and were therefore able to conceive naturally.
“We are the same as other families. Even though we might not have the same rights, we are the same,” Mr Machado told the BBC.

Take the LURE and watch its hypnotic trailer take hold!
Hey folks, Harry here... I love living in Austin, where so much film comes to me. LURED... first started hearing about it at SXSW last year where it blew everyone away. It was so beloved that FANTASTIC FEST had it - and all my team were talking about seeing it, so I knew it'd get covered and it was... well. Diva Del Mar, she comes over to watch movies all the time and she's batnuts insane in love with that movie. I know many folks that loved it as much as anything they saw last year. Me, I'm waiting to see it too! Sounds like a great treat... Polish Disco Mermaid Flick that is apparently awesome? Sure - why the hell not!
Keep it cool,
Harry
Keep it cool,
