Logan Brown, a transgender man, breaks barriers by appearing on the cover of a magazine for the first time. The British Logan Brown has been featured on the cover of the renowned magazine Glamour in the United Kingdom. On this occasion, she shared her pregnancy experience through social networks and gave an extensive interview in which she detailed her complicated journey.
In the cover image, Logan Brown sports a blue shirt and a suit that fits his body, highlighting his rounded belly. His gaze is frank and his head is slightly raised. At 27, he became the first trans man to be featured on a magazine cover. Glamour in the UK has chosen him as its muse during Pride Month.
Logan Brown is in a relationship with Bailey Mills, a non-binary British drag queen. In March, the two created a blog to share their pregnancy experience, achieving wide repercussion within the LGBT community. However, they also received messages of hate and violence in response to each post.
Faced with this harassment, Logan Brown decided to confront it through an extensive interview entitled “Trans, surrounded, proud”, granted two weeks before the birth of his daughter. In his own words: “I am a trans man and I exist, no matter what they say. I am living proof.”
Asked how she found out about her pregnancy, Logan Brown said: “One day, I had a strange feeling. It was early in the morning and Bailey was asleep. I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. Due to health problems, he had not been taking testosterone for some time. At that moment, I felt like my world stopped. It seemed that all the masculinity I had achieved with so much effort and for so long disappeared instantly.”
Their daughter Nova was born in mid-May. In the pages of the magazine, Logan Brown describes her experience in the birthing process. According to him, the hospital staff lacked sufficient training: “No one cared about my well-being. No one wondered what it’s like to be a trans man. Pregnancy, in general, is extremely difficult. When you add the fact of being transgender… Some midwives understand this, while others don’t.” Logan argues that training should be mandatory in these cases.
