"I'm a #femme man - and now I'm a father" is a short from truly, the real-life stories channel behind series such as Born Different and Hooked on the Look. It introduces James, a feminine-presenting man, his wife Dani, a masculine-presenting woman, and the baby daughter they had earlier this year.
It comes from a longer My Extraordinary Family episode posted a day before it, "People Say We’re Not A ‘Real Couple’ - Now We Have A Baby". James is not new to the channel. That episode's description says he appeared on Love Don't Judge more than two years ago with a former girlfriend, and that as a younger man he came out as gay because it felt easier. Dani messaged him in January 2024 about one of his TikTok lives, and they were dating by March. The gym is her passion, she brought him along, and the two now train together and talk about opening a gym of their own someday.
The short has traveled much faster than the full episode. Fourteen hours after it went up it had passed 130,000 views, where a new truly upload usually ends its whole first day near 9,000.
Its comment section keeps making one point: this is a straight couple, just one that looks different from the usual picture. Others talk about the balance the two seem to have found with each other, and one viewer sums up the household as two well-adjusted people, a kid and two cats.
