Can pregnancy be masculine? New reports say yes.<\/b><\/p>\n

Transgender dad Freddie McConnell of \u2018Seahorse\u2019<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A noted social researcher in Australia has deemed pregnancy \u201cmasculine\u201d after new statistics reveal that 22 men gave birth in the nation last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The figure comes as part of a larger statistic released by Australia\u2019s Medicare agency, which says that 228 men<\/a> gave birth in the nation over the past ten years.<\/p>\n

Lauren Rosewarne of the University of Melbourne also affirms that, for some men<\/a>, pregnancy is a masculine experience. \u201cMasculinity means different things to different people,\u201d she says. She also puts forward the idea that the international community needs to \u201cconfront some the conceptions we have around pregnancy, parenting and childbirth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rosewarne also dismissed the idea that transgender men<\/a> are any less male<\/a> than cisgender men<\/a>. \u201cIn this case, gender is something that is thought about in less binary terms than most of us,\u201d she said. \u201cThey may not have necessarily had an operation, but they now identify as male<\/a>. For them, they consider their entire identity wrapped up in the identity of a male<\/a>, therefore they refer as males<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roswarne\u2019s remarks as well as the new statistics surrounding transgender men<\/a> giving birth come at a time when the societal conversation around transgender parenting has gained new urgency. Earlier this year, director Jeannie Finlay\u2019s documentary\u00a0Seahorse<\/em><\/a>\u2013which continues to play the festival circuit\u2013examined the cast of Freddie McConnell<\/a>, a transgender man<\/a> who decides to give birth. At present, McConnell is suing in a British court to be listed as the father on his son\u2019s birth certificate.<\/p>\n
