March of the Male Mums: Women having sex changes on the NHS are also receiving free IVF... with three British men born female already 'on brink' of having babies

At least three British men who were born female are 'on the brink' of becoming parents using IVF techniques, according to a top doctor. 


And dozens more are now having their eggs frozen at NHS clinics before undergoing surgery or hormone therapy to switch sex. The controversial treatment means that a British transgender man could soon become a parent - all funded by the taxpayer. American Thomas Beatie (top) was the first man to give birth. Dr James Barrett (bottom left), of the NHS Gender Identity Clinic in West London, said three of his patients who have transitioned from women to men were close to becoming parents. And Riley Middlemore (bottom right) hopes to freeze his eggs before making the full transition from female to male.
