Story out of Kozhikode, India:
Lili Elbe, the character portrayed by Eddie Redmayne in Tom Hooper's The Danish Girl, believed that he was a woman. His wife too was convinced he was one.
But, in the case of a Kozhikode man, it spooked his family so much that they dragged the 52-year-old to a psychiatrist after he kept on insisting that he was pregnant! The unemployed father of two children, who has a postgraduate degree, cited abnormal sensations in his abdomen and believed that he was carrying a child. He refused to believe that men do not get pregnant and claimed that he could feel the baby moving inside.
He insisted on bed rest and skipped labour-intensive work. His worried brother brought the patient after he developed nausea and curbed his food intake. During counselling, the man admitted that he "conceived" after being in a homosexual relationship.
