Logan Brown, featured on the digital cover of Glamour UK for his journey as a pregnant man, has faced significant challenges due to gender dysphoria throughout his life. Reflecting on his past, Logan recalls struggling to accept his identity, often hiding his discomfort by wearing boys’ clothes, only to remove them in embarrassment. He felt isolated without resources to relate to, leading to severe mental health issues and ongoing therapy. At the age of 13, he came out as lesbian, influenced by societal perceptions based on his appearance rather than his true identity.

Over the years, Logan came to understand that gender and sexuality are distinct facets of identity. Before transitioning, he had relationships with women but ultimately chose to prioritize his own self-discovery.

Logan’s life changed when he met Bailey Mills, a non-binary drag queen from London, two years ago. Initially drawn to Bailey’s videos and their shared sense of being outsiders, Logan found Bailey endearing and reached out to them. Their first date was unconventional but memorable, marked by chaos and an instant connection.

The unexpected twist came when Logan woke up feeling strange one morning and decided to take a pregnancy test. Having paused testosterone due to health concerns, he was shocked to discover a positive result. He initially grappled with fear, feeling that his masculinity was being invalidated. Waking Bailey to share the news led to a whirlwind of mixed emotions and a two-hour conversation about the implications of the pregnancy on their lives and careers.

Despite initial uncertainty, Logan embraced his unique journey as a pregnant trans man, believing it essential for healthcare professionals to receive LGBTQ+ training to better support individuals like him.

His pregnancy, fraught with challenges including prolonged labor and induced delivery due to baby’s growth concerns, was supported by accommodating hospital staff who adjusted conditions to suit their ADHD and autism needs.

Reflecting on the birth of their baby girl, Logan described the experience as surreal yet immensely rewarding. Despite feeling prepared, nothing could fully anticipate the emotional and physical tolls. He expressed gratitude for their journey and considered themselves fortunate amidst the challenges.

Logan’s story challenges societal norms and underscores the importance of acceptance and support for diverse identities within healthcare and beyond.
