I'm still confused as to how he could have been legally recorded as Male when he was heavily pregnant.

His lawyer, Karen Holden, said: “Having an accurate birth certificate is vital as it stays with someone for their entire life and forms part of their identity.

I agree. The birth mother should be recorded as the mother.

Incidentally, what normally happens in the case of sperm donors? Does the intended father get recorded as the father? Where is the sperm donor recorded?

*demands anonymity because much nasty bullies etc
*participates in a television documentary, because only wants anonymity on their terms

That poor poor kid. It's the most basic of human rights.

Oh. No surprises then. Why is it in the public interest - what was the ruling anyway? (You gave birth therefore you are the mother - you can call yourself watever you like but biology is biology - concentrate on the baby now?)

Isn't this the one who is the basis of that film that's been discussed on here?
