FOR NICK NORTH, who was assigned female at birth, life as a woman never felt right. After carrying four children with his ex-husband, Nick ended the marriage and came out. He later married his wife, Katherine, after the two initially met as 'mum friends' and soon developed feelings for each other. With the love and support from his family, Nick then decided to transition as a trans man. Calling themselves 'a big, queer, blended family', the Norths are now raising their five children on the remote Canadian island of Salt Spring. For the past few years, Nick has been sharing his family life on social media where he often gets hateful comments because of his sexuality. But the proud trans dad is determined to spread awareness of nontraditional families like his.
