Posey, a 30-year-old trans man, was born a girl. In an interview, the transgender man said he had always felt something was wrong but had never known what.
A few years ago, Posey's trans coworker helped him realize that he wanted to be a man, and he soon started medically transitioning.
When the 31-year-old trans man found out he was carrying a child, he was completely shocked. Posey claimed that his young son and he are having a good time living together.
Following criticism for his b-eastfeeding videos last month, Posey opened up about his difficulties as a father. The trans man was criticized once it came out that he breastfeeds his child after giving birth.
Many users of social media lambasted him, arguing that nursing and carrying his child degraded him as a man. People gasped in amazement when they found out that Posey breastfeeds his son.
It's okay if not everyone agrees with our lifestyle because we're not here to please anyone but ourselves. Posey stated, "I share my pregnancy and nursing journey in the hopes that I can help others feel at ease and know they're not alone."
However, as he admitted in one of his videos, not everyone was happy with his being both a mother and a father to his child, stating things like "You do not belong on earth," "Men don't bear babies," and "Go ahead and go back to where you came from."
Posey urged them to breastfeed their own children as well, stating that it was important to use everything they had to provide for the infant. I've got everything I need to (b-eastfeed).
Just because I transitioned does not mean I divested myself from wanting to give my child nutrients, he said in an interview with The Daily Mail. He added that despite how much the response originally wounded him, he decided to continue helping individuals who are going through a similar circumstance.
