Kaci Sullivan, 29, already has a five-year-old son who he gave birth to when he was presenting as a woman. And in May last year, Kaci, took a break from male hormones for health reasons and fell pregnant after six months of trying with 27-year-old boyfriend Steven. Kaci, from Wisconsin, in the US said pregnancy as a male was a far happier experience. He said: “When I became pregnant with my first child, I was still in denial about being transgender.

“I hoped my pregnancy would help me connect with womanhood and femininity and somehow the terrible discomfort I had felt with my body all my life would be alleviated - but that didn't happen. “Instead, it was a very dark time for me and felt like an affirmation of everything I wasn't and could never be. “Giving birth to Grayson forced me to face up to my true feelings about my gender. “Now, my body is much aligned with how I view myself and my pregnancy is so much better. I love seeing my baby grow inside of me. “Of course, like any expectant parent, I get anxious about my body getting bigger and the delivery itself.

“But even when I'm uncomfortable, I'm still more than anything else grateful for being able to carry my child and can't wait to meet them.” Artist Kaci, has been creating videos about his pregnancy to help others going through the same experience - after realizing the sheer lack of information on the topic. Kaci, who runs 'The TransLiberation Arts Coalition' which aims to generate visibility for the transgender community through activism in art says: “When I first conceived in December, I went online to try to find other trans people who had given birth to babies but I was shocked to only find a handful of articles. “I knew there would be people who would want more advice and information about this. “I upload a new video every week and, since I've started, I've received hundreds of questions and grateful messages from other people. Kaci said he felt unhappy with his gender for as long as he could remember - only learning about the transgender community when he was 18 years old.

He said: “I didn't have a language for 'transgender' and what that meant until I was in high school. “I had anxieties about my gender all my life but as soon I learnt about the term as a late teen, I found myself intrigued and drawn to it. “I mulled over it for several years and by the time I was 21, I knew I was trans. But I didn't want to deal with it or accept it. “I was crushed by the overwhelming terror of coming out. I was scared to talk to my family about it, to deal with in the workplace and face the medical transition itself. “So I buried my feelings right inside of me and didn't talk to anyone about it.”
