A book that “teaches children that men can get pregnant” has been lambasted in a fiery rant.
Libby Emmons from The Post Millenial spoke online about ‘In My Daddy’s Belly’, written by Logan Brown.
Brown was featured on on the June Pride digital edition of Glamour UK’s front page.
He spoke to the magazine, telling them he is “living proof of a pregnant transgender man”.

Brown has now authored a book about his experience as a pregnant transgender man, saying it is “important” for his daughter to read his story.
Libby Emmons has hit out at the book, accusing it of teaching children “lies” while disregarding the basic realities of human reproduction.

“What it does is it seeks to completely transform the understanding of what a family is”, she said.
“A family in this case is a man who dresses up as a woman and a woman who believes that she is a man and grows a beard and a baby who has two dads even though he actually has a mother and a father.
“We’re not supposed to understand that, instead we have these glorious scenes of people being super accepting and wonderful.”
The book features an afterword for adults which Emmons says is in place to “transform” the way people think about “anatomy and human reproduction”.
“It’s to suit these people who have this weird idea of who they are”, she said.
“They say, ‘it’s OK to not know much about transgender people. By being open to respectful conversations and listening to the voices of minorities, you benefit as well as others around you’.”
Brown, who was born female, became pregnant after he stopped taking testosterone “due to health reasons”.
On the cover of the magazine in June, he is stood with an open suit revealing a pregnant belly next to the words: “Trans, Pregnant, Proud.”
The drag performer became pregnant with Bailey J Mills.
