What do people make of this in today's Times? To me this person did not 'Father' their child - they gave birth to their baby from their ova and so are the mother.

The comments are mainly calling out the self centred nature of this and the lack of care for the child's needs.

Of course this parent is the mother. A person who gives birth to a baby is a mother. They remain a mother for the rest of their life, even if the child dies or is adopted away.

Only females can be mothers. Guess what, transmen are female.

Just more mind-fuckery by distorting language and attempting to rob it of meaning.
