Fernando Machado and Diane Rodriguez have become a father and mother after Fernando, who was born Maria, gave birth to a healthy baby.

Neither he nor Diane, who used to be a man, has undergone gender reassignment surgery, meaning they were able to conceive.

Fernando told the BBC about his range of emotions when they found out about the pregnancy.

Diane added: ‘Being a mother was never something I thought I would do because I am a transsexual.’

Last year, the Mirror reported that the pair met via social media, and Fernando moved to Ecuador from Venezuela to be with Diane.

The new parents have started an awareness campaign for LGBT rights since the baby’s birth.

Ok thx for clarifying that! They are trying to create even more confusion and sensationalism while shoving it at us. They word it in a fashion that causes us to automatically think something is strange. Then, when we do think it's strange, they say we're closed minded and Not accepting of alternative life styles. I'm not advocating or not. But, the media, if they are trying to help these people to be accepted, they should stop making them look like weirdos. Perhaps, being a weirdo is what they are pushing for as the new norm. Break us down and use them as the initial Guinea pigs to desensitize us. The media is truly evil in the way they manipulate society. They don't care about people. They just want ratings.
