Although born a woman, Beatie had his breasts removed and lives outwardly as a man after changing his gender to male’

The 34-year-old says he retained his female sex organs because he intended to have children one day.
He conceived with sperm from a donor and was inseminated at home by his 45-year-old wife Nancy, using a do-it-yourself kit.
Yesterday Beatie, from Bend, in Oregon, spoke for the first time about the 40-hour labour, describing it as the ‘experience of a lifetime’.
He said: ‘It was simply amazing and beautiful and is a moment I will cherish for the rest of my life.
‘Everyone thought I was going to have a caesarean but I always knew I wanted a natural birth and I had one.

‘As she was being born the midwife said she had this mass of dark hair like me.
‘I could hear her words but I needed to see her for myself. And then she came out and my eyes just filled with tears. She was so beautiful and perfect in every way. I was overwhelmed with love and wonder and I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. I still can’t today.’
He also claimed that his daughter is fed naturally by his wife who has begun to produce milk after being stimulated by the suckling baby.
He said: ‘Most people assumed that our baby would not be breast-fed but we are proud to announce that she is.
