Factory worker with dual reproductive systems is both 'mother' and 'father' to two sons from two marriages
Hindustan TimesA 59-year-old woman from southwestern China who possesses two reproductive systems has become a topic of fascination across social media on the mainland. After leaving her son in Tang’s care, Liu relocated to another county, took up work in a shoe factory, and began living as a man. Although Zhou insisted on marrying Liu, they faced legal obstacles, as Liu’s ID card still indicated a female gender, and same-sex marriage is prohibited in China. Zhou later gave birth to a son in the early 2000s, making Liu a parent to two sons—one who refers to Liu as "mum" and the other as "dad." “My goodness, this is unbelievable!” one online commenter remarked, while another noted, “She has such rich life experiences—being a woman and then a man, a mother and then a father.” Also read: Canadian student breaks jaw after biting into a giant jawbreaker candy: 'It hurt badly'
