In a heartfelt YouTube video titled: “My husband gave birth to our children”, Tori explained how she and Syven became parents to one-year-old baby boy, Prophet, and one-month-old girl, Wynter.
“I didn’t think it was possible to conceive naturally,” Tori shared, while her husband Syven described both of his pregnancy experiences as “perfect,” even though they faced some inevitable challenges.
However, one of the biggest hurdles the unique couple faced was the unexpected judgment and scrutiny they encountered from others. Syven admitted it was hard, saying: “I just didn’t like being judged.” Tori agreed that the process had been terrifying for not only her husband, but for her as well.
Syven opened up on the video about how, as a transgender man, he’d always thought that becoming a parent would be unachievable for him – especially because he’d been taking testosterone for a long time.
It took such a long time for the pair to conceive that they thought they’d never become parents.
Both parents being transgender was a unique experience for everyone involved. Syven – who was born female – began transitioning when he was around five or six, after he believed his identity didn’t align with his true self. As for Tori, she began her transition when she was 18 or 19.
