London, Apr 21: A German company's executive was the first man to give birth to a baby ten years ago, a newspaper report claimed on Sunday.

Forty-year-old Dylan and his 10-year-old daughter Joanna (names changed) explained how a woman turned into a man had a baby and became a dad, the Sunday Express reported.

The report comes after American transsexual Thomas Beatie recently gained worldwide attention after posing for a magazine showing his pregnant belly and his bearded face.

However, the paper says Beatie is merely following a trail blazed more than a decade ago by Dylan. According to the tabloid, it is an extraordinary story Dylan never sought to publicise and those he did confide in, found it difficult to believe.

"I was studying for my PhD when I became pregnant, when I told my professor I was going to have a baby, he said he didn't need to know the details of my girlfriend's condition," Dylan was quoted as saying by the paper.

"When I told him it was me who was pregnant, it left him speechless. Being pregnant was weird. I didn't have a male role model who had done it before", he added.

Born into a conservative family as the eldest of three sisters, Dylan recalled how he hated being forced into girls' clothes and would have a tantrum if he was made to wear one.

"I told my friends I was a boy but my parents said I was a girl. When I was 15, I started wearing my father's clothes," he said.

Then Dylan and a gay friend, who also wanted to become a father, found a doctor who performed artificial insemination.

"The pregnancy was not a problem. I knew it was only going to be for a little while. There were lots of hormones in my system and they actually affirmed my feeling of being a man," he further said.
