Malachi Clarke always knew that he wanted to have children and was happy when he was pregnant a few months after his partner Charlie. Here, he speaks frankly to the pluscinemaz.comabout the experience of pregnancy as a man
A transgender man discusses his experience in pregnancy
A wide smile from the ear smiled to the ear playing with their hard son, Malachi Clarke and Charlie Bennett enjoy every second of their unique way to parenting.
Malachi is the first male woman in the UK, who depicted a normal child and an public sign about his experience in child cultivation A, which is nearly two.
Malachi says: “Our son calls me, while Charlie is Dada.” He explains the reason for his speech, he says: “We want people to see that there is a positive aspect of being transformed. The media paint us as predators but we are just a couple in life.
“We are living a healthy and happy life, and we want to be open to the converting people who can have families. You must stop hormones but you do not need to freeze your eggs. If you are transient and want to have children naturally, so continue to do so because you can, as we did.”
Only 17 when he came out of Trisk, Malachi, who was born a female, went to the male testosterone at nineteen years of age and performed higher surgery to remove his breasts in 20.
He is an administrative care worker, who met his life, a child care specialist, Charlie, three years ago. Similarly, he stopped taking testosterone 18 months ago due to severe acne – which could be a side effect of the hormone – which makes it easier for pregnancy normally.
We meet at the home of the rented couple in Tilehurst, the quiet Berkshire suburb where Charlie grew up. Charlie's parents-who is called “doors” by Malakhi-lives in a house that supports their loving extended garden. Each of their families can not be closer – or more support.
“We fell in love, right?” Malachi says to Charlie, who was sitting in the chair of his player, while skipping their son with a fair hair, who is nearly two years old, plays with his games.
The couple, who had male partners, felt ready to settle when they met on Facebook. “We were honest with each other because I reached the point in life where I wanted to have children. I did money as well,” Charlie says.
Immediately, click coffee, Malachi says: “We imagined the pants on each other! Charlie came mainly to my home the next day and never moved!
And they enjoy the intimate relationship. “Sex is sex. It is not gay sex, it's not a straight sex – it's just a sex. He says:” It is hearts that are not parts for us – we do what we have. “
While we talk, regardless of a sweet attempt to do some “wall art” with its coloring while we are talking, the behavior of their child is angelic. “Our son suffers from autism, which means that his speech was slower in evolution, but he met all other monuments now,” Charlie explains. “It will now move to the same nursery semester as children of a year.”
Charlie, a former social care director for adults, works as a Chamber leader in their son's custody, while Malachi is in his administrative position in a residence. “I drop them in the nursery every morning and pick it up!” Malachi says.
In a transient society, the couple – who are keen on people to see that they live like any average family – say their love story is rare.Malachi says that most people crossing in the same sex relationships – In terms of sex who were born – and depicted either using a sperm or artificial insemination donor.
“I found in transit society, before moving, transit men In general, the history of women, “says. Then they move and are still staying with women. There are no gay husbands across gay because the gay community does not always accept. They see you as an idol, or they are like,” Oh, I am not really gay because I sleep with you because of your body parts. “
This meeting made Charlie very refreshing. “I have always said,” If you don't like converted people, this is completely good. Preference is preference. But Charlie was like, “Well, let's go just on a date, I don't care.” He saw this. “
“Many people there do not care if someone is converted. I don't care that money still has any parts of the body,” Charlie explains.
“I am just a man who has a vagina. If people want to see me in another way, this is their problem – not mine.”

On June 22, 1997, Malakhi was born a female, before adopting him in 18 months by a couple, along with his younger sister. He grew up with an older adopted brother and many incubating children, whose parents welcomed their home in York.
Malachi has a warm relationship with his parents, and he was never interested in contacting this, who is believed to be addicted to drugs. He grew up, though, hair different from other girls. “Since I was young, I felt something that was not true,” he recalls. “I couldn't put it in words, but I knew that I did not think everyone.
“I hated dresses, long hair and make -up. I was attracted to football, men, and hanging with children.” Looking for answers online, he says: “I stumbled through a video clip of YouTube for a converted man, and suddenly, I had the words I needed.”
Anxiety about explaining himself to his family, Malakhi kept a secret until they were between the ages of 17, and he was disappearing by his sister.
He says, “My mother shocked at that time.” Next, he presented a male, and his name was changed later by behaving to Malachi Shadrach Clake. “I chose both the biblical names” Malachi “and” Shadrach “because my testimony is in theology, and I changed my title to” Clarke “because I love Rylan Clarke!” He laughs.
With NHS for up to five years for hormones, special gold. “Within six weeks, I was diagnosed with gender sex and began in the hormone testosterone, who is 20 years old, in June 2018,” he says. After a few months, I started to grow facial hair. Heavy physical hair, formal change, and an audio deepening. “
The following year, in 2019, he paid 6000 pounds to the highest surgery, with funding for 100 hours. He says: “If you want something, I get it.” I think a transit society causes their problems. Yes, there is a long waiting time. Access to our health care is difficult, but it is the same for all kinds of health problems, not just sex. “
In May 2021, he recorded a law as males, and obtained a gender recognition certificate in the same month. His only occupy was that changing the sexes would make a person's interview difficult. “I thought I wouldn't have children normally because the opportunity will not arise. Then I fell in love with Charlie.
NHS instructions recommend the graduation of testosterone at least three months before pregnancy. “My advantages became a little softer, and my face hair is lighter, but I didn't feel feminine – I felt myself,” says Charlie, who stopped 18 months ago.
“My period was re -turned on, as well as severe acne, which was caused by testosterone, has been cleansed, and the genital system has returned to my body.”
After a negative pregnancy test, the couple tried again in the second month, and I tested a positive Malakhi – news he enthusiastically shared with friends and family.
He recalls, “The pregnancy made me feel more of the Malakhi more than any other part of my transition. I loved him and I will be pregnant again. I do not believe in the roles of the sexes. I am not deceiving how the world is writing for biology – but it is a social building. I felt as a man with a reproductive system.”
While friends and family were happy, the couple found that the local NHS was less understanding, and when Malachi was bleeding during pregnancy, they were not satisfied with their treatment, they chose a special examination – confirmed everything is fine.
After this experiment, they chose an elected caesarean section in Malakhi's hometown in York.
Although he mentioned legally, Malachi is registered as a mother in the birth certificate, while Charlie is registered as a father. This anomaly means that it is mentioned legally and femalely at one time.
Unlike the Trans Freddy McConnell man, who was depicted through a sperm donor and fought in court for the right to be registered as a father in his child's birth certificate, Malachi does not care.
“I don't care to be a mother as a mother in the birth certificate. I know who I am – I am his father.” “Yes, it will be great if the system is more advanced, but this change will come, there is no need to scream on this topic.”
Both men accept that they will have an explanation of the child that he has parents and that one of them generates a female.
Malachi says: “We will tell him that he has parents and how the father made him.” “He already has a lot of children's books who make children in his room about all family differences-from adoption to artificial insemination and also Freddy McConnell Little Sehores and the big question, which explains how male mail is born.
“So we will tell him everything. Yes, there is a possibility that he will be intimidated when he is older, but we are not worried, and we hope that the school that he goes is comprehensive and supportive.”
In their local community, the couple is welcomed by mothers in the garden who all want to meet their little child because he is very nice. “We get questions like,” How did you have? “Is it adopted?”, But I grew up here, so we have no problems. “
However, Malachi admits, “When we leave the bala and go to Medina [Reading]We get staring, because he is two men and a child. “
Soon a family of three hope to become four. “I am proud because I gave birth to a man and I want more children. Malasi, who returned to testosterone six weeks after his birth:” We would like a brother to our son, so he always has a friend. “
Totally ready for another natural concept – even if it means stopping his hormone treatment again – has no intention to reorganize the genitals at any time in the future.
“I do not see sex or become a male or a female as it is specified in surgeries. No, I do not want multiple surgeries, it is invasive and does not work completely. I and I will be happy because it works for us.”
