Who is Logan Brown, the pregnant trans man?
Logan Brown is a 27-year-old trans man and blogger from the United Kingdom. His blog, “Up the Duff Man,” gained a huge following after he announced his pregnancy online in November 2022.
Brown revealed that he and his partner Bailey J Mills, a drag performer, unexpectedly found out Brown was pregnant last year.
“One day, I had this really weird feeling; it was early in the morning and Bailey was asleep. I took a pregnancy test and it was positive,” Brown told Glamour UK. “I’d been off testosterone for a while due to some health issues.”
“I am a trans pregnant man, and I do exist. No matter what anyone says, I literally am living proof,” Brown said.
He added later in the interview: “Whoever I say I am is exactly who I am. No one can ever take that away from me.”
In the interview, Brown also detailed his journey of changing genders via the U.K.’s National Health Service, though the timescale was not revealed.
On May 17 Mills and Brown announced on social media that Brown had given birth to their daughter, Nova Mills Brown. Their baby announcement was greeted by thousands of congratulatory messages, many of which came from popular drag queens in the United Kingdom.
One of Glamour UK’s pictures shows Brown topless with his hands holding his pregnant belly, while another image shows a suit and tie painted onto him.
Glamour UK also caught up with Brown after he’d given birth and he recalled his experience.
“I couldn’t have asked for better care. I remember being in the C-section and one of the doctors referred to me as ‘she,’ and someone else corrected them and said ‘he,'” Brown said.
The coverage of the pregnancy spurred on a number of reactions online, many of which criticized Brown and Glamour UK.
“Logan’s a biological female who got pregnant, as hundreds of millions of biological females do each year… why are you presenting this as a man getting pregnant which is biologically impossible?” British TV personality Piers Morgan wrote on Twitter.
He later shared his tweet’s stats, which he said showed that “the public’s sick of this women-denying crap.”
