Fatherhood and Parenthood

Media featuring trans fathers, reproductive themes, non-binary parents, and gender-diverse parents of varying identities and experiences.

This category includes media which discusses gender-diverse reproductive healthcare, such as Oliver Jähnke's 2022 interview with Fredrik Stillerud. It also includes trans men who conceive unwillingly or unknowingly, as seen in Queer and Southern God (2018) and discussed in Yoseñio Lewis's 2021 interview, so viewers should proceed with caution.

Also included are trans men who become fathers without carrying children, by way of surrogacy or adoption or step-parenting, as seen in Our Baby (2020) and Changing Sexes (2008).
