Trans TikTok star Jesse Sullivan has claimed that a nurse misgendered him and questioned whether he was the father of his new-born twins.
Too Hot to Handle star Sullivan and YouTuber Francesca Farago announced the birth of their twins, a boy and a girl, on 11 November, naming them Poetry Lucia and Locket Romance.
However, Sullivan, who is already a dad to non-binary teenager Arlo, has claimed that during the birth a nurse misgendered him and questioned whether he was the father.
Taking to TikTok, Sullivan posted his experience at the Los Angeles hospital as a story time. He said the nurse called him ma’am.

‘This is unbelievable’
“You are discriminating against me, you misgendered me,” he wrote. “I was like in all my years of being who I am, I’ve had a ton of people treat me bad but this is unbelievable.”
He added that he replied: “Yes, I am the father” to which she responded, “the biological father?”
Adding that the incident made him feel like “a freak”, he said, he’d had to admit: “Technically, no.”
Sullivan went on to say that the nurse shouldn’t have made such a big deal out of it because: “IVF is so common.”
The pair revealed in April that they were expecting their first child together after the heartbreak of a failed previous IVF attempt. Farago later announced that she and Sullivan were expecting twins, after appearing to predict it.
