Scout Barbour-Evan, the genderfluid, non-binary 23-year-old has announced their baby daughter’s birth on Twitter. The New Zealander, who was assigned the female gender at birth does not identify as male or female and goes by the pronouns "they", "their", and "them", has also revealed that they would be “chestfeeding” their newborn.

“Look what Santa brought me this year! She arrived last Wednesday,” Barbour-Evan wrote announcing the birth of their baby via a private Twitter account. “She's perfect and I'm in love, but we're still adjusting to life with each other so we aren't taking visitors or many calls,” they posted along with a photo of the newborn on the lap of a Santa at Dunedin's Meridian Mall.
