A transgender man who was born a woman has given birth in the United States.

Thirty-four year old Thomas Beatie shot to fame earlier this year when he was hailed across the world as a "pregnant man".

Mr Beatie has undergone gender realignment surgery, but decided at the time to keep his female sex organs.

He is legally classified in the US as male.

American media outlets say he gave birth to a baby girl in a hospital in Oregon.

Details of the birth are closely guarded but Mr Beatie has told People magazine he and his child are "healthy and doing well".

He's also denied reports that it was a Caesarean delivery.
