A transgender man who gives birth is a mother, UK court rules.
"It is now medically and legally possible for an individual, whose gender is recognized in law as male, to become pregnant and give birth to their child," McFarlane said.
"Whilst that person's gender is ‘male', their parental status, which derives from their biological role in giving birth, is that of ‘mother.'" McConnell, who was registered as female at birth, transitioned to live as male when aged 22, later undergoing a double mastectomy and testosterone therapy. Official details, such as his passport and health records, were amended to show his gender as male, court papers said.
