Trans man donates his eggs so his sister can have a baby

2024-05-30 3

A trans man says donating his eggs so his sister can have a baby was the "easiest decision" he’s ever made - despite worrying about feeling "less of a man".

Kenny Ethan Jones, 30, has harvested 13 of his eggs so far and chosen to donate them to sister, Kizzy, 38 - who has struggled for six years to get pregnant.

He originally wanted to undergo the procedure - in which the patient takes medication and has surgery to retrieve their eggs - after transitioning "years ago".

But his gender dysphoria - a sense of unease that someone may have with their gender - was so severe, he needed to prioritise his mental health.

In 2019, after a long conversation with Kizzy about her fertility, he offered to donate his eggs to her - feeling that it was the right thing to do.

Kizzy has an appointment next week at the same hospital Kenny had his retrieval.

The eggs will need to be screened, which will take three months - and Kizzy wants to try and "get going" as soon as possible.
