(Christian Post) A baby born in Britain might be the first ever to not have a mother listed on the birth certificate because the woman who gave birth identifies as a man. In what is being called a landmark case regarding the rights of trans-identified persons in England, an unidentified woman who says she’s a man is embroiled in a court battle after she asked to be listed as the child’s father. The woman, who is a single parent, began the legal process earlier this year, reports say.
The unidentified woman had already made the official changes and was, according the relevant legal documents, a “father” upon giving birth. However, although she identifies as a man, she was informed that the law requires that those who give birth must be registered as mothers. Subsequently, her attorneys launched a human rights case for her to be listed as the child’s father, asserting that registering her as a mother infringes on her right to respect for her private and family life.
