These days, using someone\u2019s preferred name and pronouns is the best way to demonstrate respect and acknowledgment of their identity, be they straight, gay, or transgender.<\/p>\n

However, not everyone adheres to this practice, often clinging to outdated norms or disregarding individuals\u2019 gender identities \u2014 even within\u00a0medical care environments<\/strong>, where\u00a0patient dignity<\/strong>,\u00a0OB-GYN liability<\/strong>, and\u00a0prenatal care compliance<\/strong>\u00a0are critical to quality treatment outcomes.<\/p>\n

Bennett Kaspar-Williams, 37, from Los Angeles, welcomed their son Hudson into the world via cesarean in October 2020, with the support of their husband, Malik \u2014 a delivery that involved\u00a0advanced diagnostics<\/strong>,\u00a0high-risk birth management<\/strong>, and\u00a0insurance coverage for cesarean procedures<\/strong>\u00a0under their existing\u00a0private health insurance<\/strong>\u00a0plan.<\/p>\n

Despite Kaspar-Williams identifying as male and using he\/him\/his pronouns at the time (they now identify as non-binary and use both he\/him\/his and they\/them pronouns), they encountered challenges at the hospital when nurses repeatedly misgendered them, referring to them as a mother rather than a father, as per the\u00a0Daily Mail<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Kaspar-Williams began his transition in 2014 after realizing he was transgender in 2011. The couple made the decision to start a family and carefully considered their options \u2014 knowing it would require Bennett to pause the\u00a0hormone therapy treatments<\/strong>\u00a0covered under\u00a0chronic illness management plans<\/strong>, so his ovaries could resume functioning.<\/p>\n

Although Bennett had undergone top surgery, he hadn\u2019t had any procedures on his lower body. After thoughtful reflection and weighing both\u00a0medical risks<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0long-term insurance implications<\/strong>, he felt at peace with the idea of carrying a child himself \u2014 a choice that raised questions around\u00a0maternity insurance<\/strong>\u00a0policies and\u00a0hospital costs associated with transgender care<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
