While you were off enjoying Christmas and New Year’s you may have missed an amazing story: Down in Ecuador a man met a woman. They fell in love. And now the woman is four months pregnant with his child. Amazing, right? Stop the presses!

Except that there’s a wrinkle: The man says he’s a woman. And the woman says she’s a man. So the couple claims that, for the first time in human history, the husband will be giving birth to their child. And because of this, their totally pedestrian story became international news.
