In May 2022, Townhall covered how lifestyle brand Calvin Klein posted a series of photos commemorating Mother’s Day, one which included a pregnant transgender “man.”
“Today, in support of women and mothers all over the world, we’re spotlighting the realities of new families,” the caption on the photo read. Predictably, the post sparked backlash.
We have a huge baby formula shortage! The Left says men are the root of all problems, so it's only fair to blame pregnant men right? I wonder what Calvin Klein has to say about this. #calvinklein pic.twitter.com/cReKkxxikt

The author Logan Brown, who identifies as a man, was featured on the cover of Glamour with an article about pregnant men.

According to the book publisher’s website, the book is inspired by author Logan Brown’s “heartwarming story” (via Bigger Picture Books):
Inspired by the author's real family, this heartwarming story about two Dads eagerly awaiting the birth of their first child follows the excitement and joy of welcoming a new baby into a loving family. The person giving birth just happens to be one of the Dads. Written in a way that is accessible to children of all ages and easy to understand, it gives some basic facts about Transgender Dads giving birth and celebrates new life with colourful, bold illustrations and a wholesome story with the message; 'it doesn't matter what your family looks like, as long as you are safe and loved.'
Earlier this year, Townhall covered how Brown was featured on the cover of Glamour UK for its “Pride Month” issue.

Last year, Townhall reported how a survey found that almost one in four Democratic voters believe that men can get pregnant.
The survey, conducted by The Daily Wire, found that 22 percent of Democrats agree with the statement "Some men can get pregnant." Specifically, 36 percent of white, college-educated female Democrats agreed with this alarming statement.
"Overall, few Americans think men can get pregnant," said WPA Intelligence Managing Director Conor Maguire. "But with 36% of a core Democratic constituency (college-educated white Democratic women) and one out of five Democrat voters believing this, one can see why Democratic leaders coddle the radical gender theory movement."
