I've given birth to two kids as a man
0:04
And we are their dad. Were you planning to have a baby together? Honestly, we..
0:10
Okay, so it was... A lot of people come with a negative input because they're uneducated
0:17
You're not allowing them to have a mom. The baby's gonna be trans because you're trans
0:23
How would you describe the way you're raising your children in terms of gender and sexuality
0:30
You want something to drink? Yeah. Now we can do a good cheers
0:37
Here we go. Cheers. My name is Zadayas. My name is Rory T
0:44
What's your name? Zadayas. So what's happened since we last filmed with you
0:53
I'm a seahorse dad and I get hate for breastfeeding my baby
0:57
We've given birth to a second child. Zanias is two and a half, and Zykel is three months
1:07
Are you nursing Zykel? Zykel is, since he was in the NICU, for the seven weeks or whatever, they'd gotten him used to the bottle
1:17
He's bottle fed, but I'm still pumping and putting him in the bottle. What do or slash will the children call you
1:22
honestly they have the luxury of calling me whatever they're comfortable with
1:27
at this current moment he's calling me dad but when they're like a little older i plan on giving
1:33
them like the whole rundown about me being born female living as a trans man giving birth to them
1:39
and if they feel the need to want to call me mom so be it were you planning to have a baby together
1:44
Honestly, we... Okay, so it was... I always wanted to have a kid
1:52
So when we originally first started talking six years ago, we had conversed about it or
1:57
whatever but I was doing my own thing He was in Georgia I was in Florida And then what really said that I don want any kids is because of my experience delivering the Zanias Having to deal with a lot of false allegations and just feeling just unheard unseen and not treated like the human that I am
2:16
How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant with Zaquil? Honestly
2:22
It was a wave of emotion just mainly because of how I, what I went through to deliver with Zaquil
2:29
I was hyped, but I was shocked because he was sick as that's first road
2:35
I found out on my own. I was at my house when I found out like we're going to do it again. But once I disclosed to him that I'm pregnant, he just reassured me that I wasn't going to do it alone and it was going to be a better experience
2:51
It helped going through this journey with him because he always reminded me and reassured that I was the human that I was
2:59
and I didn't feel out of place, and I wasn't alone during this journey. How would you describe Zanias and Zikell
3:09
Zanias and Zikell are night and day. Totally two different children. Oh, boy
3:16
Coming out. The lippers coming out. Zikell is more the serious one
3:22
And Zanias, he's just so playful. Can I see your brother's bottle, please
3:36
It does not go to Zoe. Thank you. What was your experience at the doctors and out in public as a pregnant transgender man
3:46
Once I got it out of my head and stopped over-yzing the situation, there really wasn't nothing
3:52
Nobody was saying anything, but even in the doctors, nobody didn't care
3:57
I did my research this time. By far a drastic difference from respecting my pronouns
4:03
and treating me like I belong there and not like I was just an outcast What responses did you receive about being transgender and pregnant a second time
4:17
I'm just trying to create more trans kids and more kids to confuse
4:23
And you're only having kids because you're wanting to collect a check off of social media
4:28
You're not allowing them to have a mom. The baby's going to be trans because you're trans
4:33
they was like, oh, the breast mugga's going to turn the baby trans
4:37
Yeah, I was watching the previous video. Someone, some comment about the testosterone
4:41
Child, they always swear to that. They, they're so uneducated. They have said, you married
4:47
to a woman, or you need to get your real man. For me, I don't really
4:53
let things bother me. Let's go. Come on. Grab it. You got, you got a hold of them
5:03
Where are you going? They are under the impression that being that I transition
5:12
I should disconnect from all the female anatomy that I've gotten and that we should get these surgeries and we should do this
5:18
in order to be trans enough and you should adopt. Just because I transition does not mean I don't want my own biological kids
5:25
It's also, it's what you want out of life, you know? It's just what you want
5:29
A lot of people are like, well, why would you transition just to date a man? Gender and sexuality are two different things
5:35
My transition does not dictate who I'm attracted to. Love you. The funny thing is, is a lot of people, not a lot, but a good portion of people, we're those trolls
5:48
My biggest trolls are my biggest supporters now. Because a lot of people come with a negative input because they're uneducated
5:54
But once they sat down and stopped talking and started listening and seeing us for us
6:00
and actually just seeing us for who we really are, they've shifted their thought process
6:05
on us and it's been amazing. Come on say I got this Come on There you go What are we doing sir It been one time
6:18
Well, I'm just going to give it up. Like, I let the comments get the best of me, and a creator actually reached out to me
6:23
I am so very proud of you, and absolutely inspired by the strength, courage, love, and so much more
6:28
I actually get ready to it, and the message popped up, and I just kept going
6:33
I continue showing up because I want people to stop the negative connotation
6:37
assuming that my transness is going to make me less than of a parent. It's not going to stop us from loving each other
6:42
It's not going to stop us from raising up our kids to be decent human beings
6:47
How would you describe the way you're raising your children in terms of gender and sexuality
6:51
They are going to walk in their own journey. So the only thing that we can do is guide them the best way we can
6:58
Just because I'm trans doesn't mean you've got to go transition. Just because you choose not to transition doesn't mean I'm going to stop loving you
7:03
My love for my kids is unconditional, regardless of what path they choose to go down
7:08
What I look for in the future is success. But yeah, just continue growing as a family
7:13
That's the ultimate goal. I want to become a lactation consultant because I don't see any trans men navigating
7:20
in what society feels is the most womanly thing out there. But I just want to be able to be that voice to all the trans community
7:30
because I didn't have a me when I was trying to figure out this whole breastfeeding. And with our life, you know, I wouldn't have never thought I would find, you know, Tanias
7:39
And even though I was... I found you. He's like... What I want the young generation to know that are trans is that it's okay
7:50
I've given birth to two kids as a band. And I support it
