A transgender couple from Kerala's Kozhikode, Ziya and Zahad, is expecting their first baby in March. Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the couple, who have been living together for the last three years, announced the happy news.
"Though I was not a woman by birth or by my body, I had the feminine dream inside me to hear a baby calling me 'mother'....It has been three years since we are together. Like my dream of becoming a mother, he (Zahad) has a dream of becoming a father and today a life of eight months is moving in his belly with his full consent," Ziya wrote in the caption of the post
Take a look below:
Ziya was born a man and changed into a woman and Zahad was born a woman and transformed into a man. Zahad conceived the baby from Ziya as his transition process from a woman into a man was stalled for the baby and his uterus and some other organs were not removed.
