Dreaming to become a mother, Alex must face her own fears to ask a friend to donate sperm. Alex has wanted to have a baby almost as long as she can remember. But how is a trans/butch lesbian supposed to get sperm? When she considers asking Mateo, a close gay friend of hers, Alex is forced to investigate what she really values.
Its based on an excerpt from the book How to Get a Girl Pregnant by Karleen Pendleton Jiménez which was published in 2011 by Tightrope Books. The book was a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award and chosen for the 2013 Over The Rainbow List by the American Library Association.
This project is a collaboration of the animator Barb Taylor and writer Karleen Pendleton Jiménez.

Join us for a captivating evening of exploration and discussion as we host a special event featuring the screening of the thought-provoking short film, “The Butch and the Baby Daddy.” This event aims to share the multifaceted experiences of motherhood through a queer lens, while also shining a spotlight on the themes of gender and body diversity within the realm of motherhood.
By bringing together a diverse community of individuals, we seek to foster an intersectional dialogue that highlights the myriad ways in which people can become mothers, as well as the unique journeys and barriers they encounter along the way. Through the power of storytelling, we hope to challenge conventional notions of motherhood and embrace the richness and complexity of diverse narratives.
Join us for an evening of insightful conversations, empathy, and appreciation for the diverse paths to motherhood. Let us explore, embrace, and uplift the multitude of stories that shape the journey of motherhood through an inclusive and intersectional lens.
