Hayden Cross, 21, made headlines around the world when he announced he was pregnant by a sperm donor, three years after becoming legally male through gender reassignment.

He put his transition on hold to have a child.  His daughter Trinity-Leigh was born by caesarean on 16 June, his family confirmed.

It makes Cross, from Gloucester, the first transgender man to give birth in the UK.

“She’s perfect in every way,” he told The Sun.
