A 21-year-old man has become the first in Britain to give birth after he put his sex transition on hold to get pregnant by a sperm donor.<\/p>\n

Hayden Cross, who made headlines around the world earlier this year when he announced he was pregnant by a sperm donor, has given birth to a girl.<\/p>\n

Cross told The Sun that daughter Trinity-Leigh is his “angel”. Cross gave birth by caesarean. The girl was born on June 16 at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.<\/p>\n

He had been living legally as a man for three years and was already part-way through hormone treatment to transform from a woman to a man.<\/p>\n

But the full transition was paused after the UK’s state- funded National Health Service (NHS) refused to carry out a 4,000-pounds process to freeze his eggs \u2014 which he hoped would enable him to have children in the future.<\/p>\n

The former supermarket worker instead found a sperm donor via Facebook and became successfully pregnant. “She’s perfect in every way… she is so good. I’m so lucky,” Cross was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n

Following the birth, Cross now plans to return to complete his gender realignment as soon as possible. The proud father was born a girl named Paige, 21 years ago.<\/p>\n

Cross, from Gloucester, had said earlier, “I faced the prospect of not becoming the man I’m supposed to be, physically, or a dad. So I didn’t feel like I had any choice but to have a baby now then get back to transitioning.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
