When Evan, 35, received the call from his doctor, he was at work in Cambridge, Mass., tense and unsteady. Born female but living as a transgender man, Evan had long dreamed of becoming a parent. Four months earlier, he’d miscarried, making this moment especially emotional. Dr. Ania Kowalik confirmed he was pregnant and prescribed progesterone to support the pregnancy.
Evan stood in the hallway, processing the news, then called his partner, whose surprised gasp made him momentarily step back. As he calculated his due date, a mix of joy and anxiety overwhelmed him.
His story highlights how transgender parents are challenging cultural perceptions of gender and pregnancy. While progress has been made in visibility and rights, backlash and violence persist. Evan’s journey reflects courage, hope, and the evolving understanding of what it means to be a parent in a society still grappling with gender norms.
