‘What do you value more – kindness or intelligence?’ A trans couple’s hunt for the perfect sperm donor – one stranger at a time

The article discusses the journey of a trans couple, Krishna Istha and their partner, as they search for the perfect sperm donor to start a family. Dissatisfied with the limited information provided by sperm banks, the couple created a live show called "First Trimester" where potential donors are interviewed on stage. The interviews delve into the donors' values, beliefs, and personal experiences, allowing Istha to connect with them on a deeper level beyond just clinical details. The show has been performed around the world and is set to be featured at the Melbourne Fringe Festival in October. The article highlights the creative approach the couple has taken to find a donor who aligns with their values and beliefs, rather than solely focusing on superficial characteristics.
