  • Who is/are the speakers? 
Researchers Alexis Hoffkling, Juno Obedin-Maliver, and Jae Sevelius.
  • What's their expertise and/or connection to the issue? 
They did research by interviewing & collecting experiences from transgender men who gave birth.
  • What is the format of the information?
Journal article-- it's very long, with an abstract at the beginning and each portion of the article split with section headings (background, methods, results, analysis, discussion, etc.)
  • How does format influence your perception of what they're saying? Which kind of authority do you think the speaker has to the topic and why?
Seems tough to read through it all because the format is dense. It's a mix of subject expertise and special experience. The interview participants whose accounts that they are summarizing have personal experience, and the researchers have academic authority.
