March 2009.Ruben Noe Coronado (left in photo) is six and a half weeks pregnant with twins and expects to have changed legal status to male and to have married Esperanza Ruiz (right) by the time he gives birth in September.
If so, he will be Spain's first transsexual father to give birth and the first open instance in the world of a father giving birth to twins.
Coronado decided on this course of action when he found out that Ruiz, already a mother of two, could not have any further children.
Under Spanish law, the requirements to get gender changed on the civil register are
- you must be a Spanish national
- a pyschologist must confirm gender dysphoria (with nothing that might interfere with this disagnosis)
- medical treatment for at least 2 years to bring about the physical characteristics of the desired gender, but surgery is not required.
