This is Bianca and Nick Bowser.
They met through a mutual friend in 2009, married in late 2011, and had two children.
Their story sounds much like any suburban couple’s — except Nick and Bianca are both transgender, and it was Nick that gave birth to the couple’s two sons.
The Kentucky couple recently spoke to the UK’s Daily Mirror, revealing in the candid interview that they were not able to afford gender confirmation surgeries, so were able to have their biological children — Kai, three, and Pax, one — together.
And while the Bowsers say they ‘love raising children’, Nick said he found being pregnant ‘a daily struggle’ and doesn’t plan to bear any more babies.
“I decided to carry our sons because we wanted our children to be ours, but being pregnant made me absolutely miserable,” Nick, 27, told the Daily Mirror.
“We had our two children out of it and that’s the only good that came out of it,” he said.
“I will not be pregnant again. I cannot do it.”
He added that he opted for a caesarian section because it ‘cut out part of the very female process of giving birth’.
He added that while Bianca, 32, connected with their children at the first ultrasound appointment, he hadn’t immediately bonded with the babies.
“For me it took at least two weeks until after they were born for me to form any sort of attachment to them,” he said.
