The last time I spent any quality time together with with Myles and Precious Brady-Davis was during the 2016 Creating Change in Chicago when Precious was one of the four co-chairs of the event.
We jokingly call both of them the Trans Obamas' because this trans power couple are Chicago residents, have actually met the former POTUS and are both working in the nonprofit sector.
And as you probably guessed, I have much love and respect for both of them.
Back in December, they welcomed a daughter Zayn into the world, and the birth of their child actually led to a policy change in the state of Illinois for trans parents.
The initial birth certificate misgendered both Miles and Precious. It was corrected to show Myles is the father and Precious is the mother.
They also had an interesting journey to parenthood that is a story in itself.
All of that to say that once again, Myles and Precious will be on our TV screens for the TLC show My Pregnant Husband. It's not their first time on TLC, because Precious appeared on Say Yes To The Dress a few years ago.
It not only follows Myles and Precious' journey to parenthood, it also focuses on the challenges they faced as unapologetic Black trans people.
The parenting journey of Seattle based trans man Ari and his cis wife Caitlyn is also followed in this hour long episode as well. It also serves as a comparison and contrast to how the pregnancies of the transgender men differed
.Looking forward to this latest episode of Must See Trans TV happening at 9 PM CDT tonight.

Precious and Myles Are Having A Baby!
Y'all know I have mad love for Myles and Precious Brady-Davis, and the last time I spent any quality time with the both of them was back during #CC16 in Chicago.
We jjokingly call them in the community the 'Trans Obamas' because this amazing Chicago based trans power couple are both doing trailblazing advocacy work. He's the communications director for Equality Illinois, while Precious is communications manager for the Sierra Club.
You may also remember Precious' apperance on the show Say Yes To The Dress in the runup to her and Myles' wedding.
While Myles has always wanted to have children, Precious initially wasn't feeeling parenthood but got onboard with the idea after being convinced by Myles.
It was a two year journey for them to get to this point. Their initial attempt at IVF failed, and both had to go off their respecttive masculinizing and feminizing hormone regimens in order to give themselves the best possible chance for parenthood to happen. It did, and now they are on a countdown to their child's December due date.
Congratulations Precious and Myles, and may your child be healthy, happy and surrounded with love!. .
