Fashion magazine Glamour U.K. has sparked outrage after it debuted its June cover featuring a pregnant transgender man.

Logan Brown, 27, was born female but now identifies as a trans man.

The author was in the process of transitioning when he took a break from testosterone treatments and unexpectedly became pregnant with partner Bailey J. Mills, a non-binary drag performer.

“I took a pregnancy test, and it was positive,” Brown told the magazine two weeks before giving birth to his daughter.

“I’d been off testosterone for a while due to some health issues. 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.”

The profile details how the couple were subjected to “rampant transphobia” who repeatedly commented that “men can’t get pregnant” on Brown’s social media posts.

Brown, who who suffered from “really bad mental health” issues as a child, came out as a lesbian before wanting to explore the “identity of being trans.” He now identifies as queer.

“I spent so much time feeling shame and being hard on myself until I thought, ‘You can enjoy this process or make it really difficult for yourself.’

“I’m a pregnant man, and we’re very lucky, and I’m proud to do what we’re doing.”

Brown admitted that he has received tons of support from the LGBTQ community, the negative reaction to his pregnancy has been negative because “obviously, this is not a usual everyday thing.”

That said, he insisted, “We’re real living people. And at the end of the day, I am a trans pregnant man and I do exist. No matter what anyone says, I am literally living proof.”

The Internet had a field day with the cover.

“Living proof of what?” Piers Morgan asked on Twitter. “Logan’s a biological female who got pregnant, as hundreds of millions of biological females do each year… why are you presenting this as a man getting pregnant which is biologically impossible?”

Detractors also compared the cover to the crash-and-burns of Bud Light, Target and other companies and brands that are feeling the woke heat.

“Just when you thought Woke Companies could not sink any lower – Glamour UK magazine has featured this ‘pregnant man’ on the cover to kick off Pride Month,” wrote Internet personality Oli London, who added in another tweet, “This is what happens when you drink too much Bud Light,” alongside a pic from Logan’s profile.

Gay rights activist Fred Sargeant added of Logan’s cover: “That makes complete sense these days. Pride month has become a competition amongst trans panderers to see who can most completely lose the plot about what Pride was created to commemorate and celebrate.”
