Glamour Magazine U.K. received some backlash after it featured a pregnant transgender man on its cover for Pride Month.
On June 1, the magazine debuted the cover on its Twitter page featuring Logan Brown, a biological woman who identifies as a man, with a large pregnant belly.
“Introducing Logan Brown, GLAMOUR’s June Pride cover star. ‘I’m a pregnant trans man and I do exist. No matter what anyone says, I’m living proof,'” the outlet quoted Brown in the caption.
Another photo showing Brown topless with scarring on her chest from breast removal was also featured.
However, the cover wasn’t well received by users on Twitter.
“She’s living proof that women can get pregnant?Groundbreaking…..,” one user wrote.
Another user responded, “You’re featuring a straight pregnant woman on the cover of your gay pride edition?”

“’I’m a pregnant trans man and I do exist. No matter what anyone says, I’m living proof’ (sic) Emphasis on ‘I’m a pregnant trans man’ that alone confirms that whoever wrote that is/was a woman,” one user noted.
Continuing, the user wrote, “Ur womb, uterus (sic) and fallopian tube weren’t removed (sic) So yes you can get pregnant.”
Another user added, “I just do not accept you are a man.”
Another user stated, “Stop. Just stop.”
Stop.

Just stop 🤦🏻♀️.
How one identifies does NOT CHANGE their biology.
Male and Female.
That’s it.
A human is either biologically a male or biologically a female.
There is no such thing as a pregnant man.
That’s SCIENCE.
In an interview with the magazine, Brown spoke about finding out she was pregnant unexpectedly by her non-binary partner and U.K. drag performer, Bailey J Mills.
“I took a pregnancy test, and it was positive. I’d been off testosterone for a while due to some health issues,” she said.
Brown added, “It was like my whole world just stopped. That everything, all my manlihood that I’ve worked hard for, for so long, just completely felt like it was erased.”
