Who are Ziya Paval and Zahad Kerala trans pregnant couple, their story and Instagram
Who are Ziya and Zahad?
Ziya was born as a man and transformed into a woman, and Zahad was born as a woman and later on transformed into a man. These two have been living together for three years. Zahad conceived the child during his transition from a woman to a man, which was stalled for sake of a baby. The baby decision was made after Zahad’s breasts got removed, but doctors stated that it was possible because the uterus was still present.
The duo have been living together for three years and shared this news on Instagram. Ziya Paval, who is a dancer, declared on Instagram that her partner, Zahhad, is eight months pregnant.
“Though I was not a woman by birth or by my body, I had feminine dreams inside me to hear a baby calling me ‘mummy’…It has been three years since we were together. Like my dream of becoming a mother, he (Zahad) has a dream of becoming a father and today a life of eight months is moving in his belly with full consent,” Ziya stated
Zahad is an accountant by profession. He was born as a female and is currently undergoing hormone therapy to transition to a man. He did share his process for embracing parenthood early last year.
Ziya, who is a classical dance teacher was born as a man and is transitioning into a woman. However, because they are transgenders, legal proceedings were difficult for them. Zahad, who was still biologically female, could conceive a child naturally.
Zahad was hesitant to revert to the femininity that he was in the process of rejecting. But Ziya’s desire to become a mother swayed Zahad’s decision. This couple has received well-wishes from people all across the globe.
