Glamour UK featured a pregnant transgender-identifying woman on its June Pride digital cover to commemorate the beginning of Pride month.
“GLAMOUR‘s Pride issue celebrates the allyship that exists between women (cisgender or not) and transgender people through our shared experiences – in particular pregnancy, healthcare and childbirth – something that is not often talked about with regard to the transgender community.“

Logan Brown, a woman who identifies as a transgender man, had a sit-down interview with Glamour UK to discuss her experience being a “pregnant man,” in a relationship with a man who identifies as “queer” and used the pronouns they/them.
“I am a trans pregnant man and I do exist,” Brown claims.
“Logan Brown is a transgender man who unexpectedly became pregnant with his partner Bailey J Mills, a non-binary drag performer in the UK,” Glamour’s piece on her begins.
Initially, Brown thought that she was simply a masculine female, and therefore “came out” as lesbian at the young age of 13. As she got older she “realized that gender and sexuality are two completely different things,” and began her “transition.”
After finding out that she was pregnant, Brown said, “It was like my whole world just stopped . . . all my manlyhood that I’ve tried to work hard for for so long just completely felt like it was erased.”
“How do you tell your partner, ‘I’m pregnant,’ but ‘I’m also your boyfriend’ as well,” Brown said during the interview.
Brown said that she had not taken testosterone hormone treatments for “some time” before learning that she was pregnant. She did not specify how long before learning about her pregnancy she stopped taking testosterone, or whether or not it was the reason she stopped hormone replacement therapy.
The United Kingdom’s NHS warns that taking testosterone hormones just before or during pregnancy can lead to fetal development issues. After giving birth, Brown told Glamour that she did in fact have trouble giving birth, “due to some complications with the baby’s growth.”
“When I eventually went into labour, it was great because they really accommodated our needs. They made the lights dim for Bailey and me because of our ADHD and autism,” Brown said.
Brown’s “partner” Bailey Mills, a “queer” man, is a drag queen and TikTok influencer who has over 200,000 followers on the platform. “I met Bailey nearly two years, so we’ve not even been together that long, to be honest thats why its like a big shocker that we’re even having a baby together,” Brown expressed.
When asked what makes her feel “empowered,” Brown responded, “I think what makes me feel empowered as a trans man is that whoever I say I am is exactly who I am.” Her reply was shockingly similar to the circular argument which inspired the now-infamous documentary, “What is a Woman?” to which so many people respond, “a woman is anyone who says that they are a woman,” rather than every providing an objective answer.
Brown is currently authoring two books, an autobiography, and a children’s book which will be titled, “My Daddy’s Belly.”
Outside of the progressive bubble this puff piece exists in, thousands of people have called out this bizarre tribute to a confused person who is clearly suffering from mental illness. One person slammed the magazine for “basically glorifying the surgery [double mastectomy].” Others said, “It feels like it’s been pride month for the past 3 years,” and “I am so worried for the child.” Another said, “The only reason that person is able to carry a baby is because they are biologically female. There’s no other way around it, stop trying to take credit away from what only women can do.”
