I’ve Given Birth Twice - As A Man | MY EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY

LAST time Ta’Nius featured on My Extraordinary Family he had just given birth to his son Za’Nius. Now he has recently welcomed a new addition to the family - his baby boy Zy’Kell. He gave birth to both his sons and is raising them with his partner Royalty. Ta’Nius described finding out he was pregnant a second time a ‘wave of emotions’ because of his experience of pregnancy and delivery of Za’Nius. He said: “Once I’d disclosed to him [Royalty] that I was pregnant, he just reassured me that I wasn’t going to do it alone and it was going to be a better experience.” Ta’Nius has shared his journey as a seahorse dad online but he has been met with a lot of negativity with people saying he is confusing his children or that his children will be trans because he is. People also criticised him for carrying his children. Ta’Nius said: “Just because I transitioned does not mean I don’t want my own biological kids.” He and Royalty are raising their children with love and encouraging them to follow their own path. Ta’Nius added: “My love for my kids is unconditional regardless of what path they choose to go down.” He hopes to become a lactation consultant and create visibility for the trans community. Royalty added: “What I want the younger generation who are trans to know is that it’s okay.”

[laurarose]

You know those nurses talked so much crap when they were in the break room.

We are not uneducated, we are just not suffering from this unfortunate illness. I wish you wellness and wholeness.

[suesurbangarden]

Pushing the narrative that men can have babies isn’t ok.

[OIivia_The_OIive]

Why are people SO RUDE it’s their life! Leave them alone!❤

[rosemary-frog]

jesus CHRIST. i'm not sure why i expected this comment section to be at least a little bit supportive. how horrible is it for a family to be happy? they are not hurting themselves or anyone else, and they sure as hell are not "confusing" their kids by being themselves. if anything, i bet those kids will grow up knowing what it's like to be loved and open with their feelings. it truly is not that deep. these children are not being abused, they are clearly loved and cared for.

i wish nothing but the best for this family. these two seem like wonderful parents.

I don’t understand why would you transform yourself into a man and still end up with a man? I’ve never understood that.

[tstarrodriguez]

No judgment . Beautiful family . Both of you good take care of kids . Love and support each other . That’s wonderful. God bless all of you .

[EbonyAE]

Oh Jesus 😂😂😂😂😂😂 when I say, "I don't mean no harm!" I mean harm.... We all need love tho.... Happy Holidays guys ❤❤😂😂😆

You had kids because you are a female. Stop this nonsense. Im glad you are a good father.

[aeoniumred]

I see that they are well spoken, respectful and most importantly loving parents. Family is family ❤

[Stalemarshmallow]

This is a trans man. Don’t make it weird

[CarolMoore-yvec]

great fathers bringing up kids better than some parents who neglect their kids ok not tradition so what we are who we are we cant change that

[jenellswan]

This is the most confusing show of all that I have watched. I am going to educate myself on the matter today.

[aghststlemygndr]

As a trans person, this was really comforting and inspirational to see. These are great parents, and it really gave me hope for my future. Thankyou! <3333

[frontstreettea]

We are not uneducated, we are simply unwilling to lie to support your fantasies, Ma'am.

[McJxck]

My biggest issue with the people in the comments is that y’all bring up god, then judge people. Ya’ll are the problem. If it’s not impacting you, why the hell do you care? Let these people live the life they want to live. You should be happy the kids are receiving unconditional love and are safe with a roof over their head! They have two parents. Ya’ll make me sick fr.

[christopheuhlin]

I see a beautiful, loving family ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[moniquedavis]

What a beautiful family. Your kids are adorable, I loved to hear your oldest baby laugh. Don’t worry about what no one says, live your life. God Bless

[blossominggoddess]

WOW! I LOVE LOVE!❤ Living YOUR LIFE on YOUR OWN terms UNAPOLOGETICALLY! AND, causing no harm to ANYONE!!❤ It is freeing and stress free to be able to live by YOUR OWN SPIRIT that is WITHIN YOU than to be forced to conform to rules of A SPIRIT that is OUTSIDE OF YOU. It’s so unfortunate and WEIRD that people will say the most vile, humiliating and disgusting things if someone is not following their beliefs (not facts), while saying they don’t judge and love everyone. 😢 I guess it’s the some kind of love and judgment that will torment you for all eternity while saying I love you and you have been forgiven.
