A pregnant transgender man in rural Texas plans to give up his baby boy for adoption shortly after he is delivered.

Jax Squire, 23, who is about nine months pregnant and lives in the rural town of Graham, decided he wanted to carry his baby to term.

Squire, who has been pregnant before but miscarried, told the Dallas Morning News that he decided on adoption after the baby was delivered because he 'couldn't go through losing another one.'

The expecting father has felt lonely throughout the pregnancy as the child's other parent is not in the picture. He hopes that by being transparent about his decisions and journey, others can feel less lonely as well.

'This isn't a topic that's talked about,' Squire said to the outlet. 'A pregnant trans guy, are you kidding me?'

'I feel like there's a lot of people who have to stay quiet about this kind of thing, and I don't want that. I don't want people to think that you have to stay quiet about it.'

The soon-to-be father found out he was pregnant in May of 2025, only one week after he landed in Texas and only a week before he was planning to start taking testosterone. Transgender men are biologically female, but taking testosterone to make them look more masculine can stop them from getting pregnant - as can having surgery to remove their uterus or ovaries. 

Squire, who is not surgically transitioned, came to the Lone Star State to stay with a friend, but the living situation unexpectedly changed, and he ended up in a homeless shelter.

Squire found out he was pregnant a week after moving to Texas and one week before he was planning to take testosterone 

For two months, he worked and saved money to afford his own apartment and began getting medical treatment at a clinic in town, according to the outlet.

Squire opened up to his physician, Dr. Johnson, revealing that after the baby is delivered, he wants to spend the two days with the baby allotted by the state before it is taken away.

He wants to have skin-to-skin contact with the baby, which Johnson told the transgender man would be good.

'I think he'll always treasure that,' said the doctor to the Squire.

Squire, who works a job paying $16 per hour, told the outlet that he can't afford to keep the baby but still wants to be part of its life.

'I want him to be happy, and I want him to feel loved, cared about,' Squire said. 'I want him to go on trips and have adventures and fall off his bike and scrape his knee up.'
