He's FTM transexual, and is currently pregnant with our twins! (see our blog at www.myspace.com/gaydaddynm ) Until now, his gender hasn't been an issue. The staff at our doctor's office has been working the phones trying to get this corrected. It's bad enough that we can't be covered under the same policy, but now they refuse to list his correct LEGAL gender!!! Hopefully in time, people will be treated as people, and not the political labels they find themselves associated!
