Pride & Joy - The Old-fashioned Way
Download The Old-fashioned Way
When Freddy started his transition seven years ago, his doctor told him he’d never be able to have his own child. But, he was wrong.
Right now, many trans and nonbinary people are discovering the truth about their fertility and rethinking their family plans.
Freddy talks to his queer super hero, Jacob, about their journeys to parenthood, the challenges of pregnancy, and the joys of having a kid.

The story of how Freddy became a dad is also told in the documentary Seahorse, directed by Jeanie Finlay, produced by the BBC and Grain Media, in association with Glimmer Films and The Guardian. www.seahorsefilm.com
