It’s a boy meets girl kind of love story. Love at first site, Emily and Cai, moved in together after just a few short weeks after meeting each other. The couple, still living together, is happier than ever, especially since they have welcomed a little miracle into their lives, Dante. Dante’s conception, however, was anything but “typical.”

Cai, 24, Dante’s father, was born a woman. Cai still has female parts but has been taking male hormones for quite some time now, which should have made him “clinically sterile.”

Emily, 28, born a boy, has been taking female hormones since the age of 16 and should also be “clinically sterile.” At the time of Dante’s conception, Emily still had male parts and was awaiting a sex-swap surgery.

“We didn’t plan on having a baby. We didn’t try to make it happen nor did we think it could happen. We were planning on adopting because, as far as we knew, having a baby on our own was impossible separately, let alone together,” Emily told reporters.
