Trans man Freddy McConnell's challenge to be named as father on birth certificate deemed inadmissible by the ECHR

I've shared elsewhere how when I got into the trans community, I tried to express my sadness that I could never hope to become a father in the same biological way as I was already a mother, and I was told in no uncertain terms that I was a man and that was that. I have no doubt Freddy was similarly gaslighted and encouraged to entertain a delusion, and that being reminded of the biological truth must hurt.

At the same time, my heart aches for this poor child whose mother can't even respect their basic human rights.

The word ‘mother’ on a birth certificate refers to the female reproductive role, trans men cannot escape this.

The word ‘mother’, in other contexts doesn’t necessarily refer to reproductive role (e.g in the case of adoption). People get het up about step mothers dropping the ‘step’ adjective.

It’s a controversial area beyond trans specific issues

Yes, I think this is a very significant indicator.

Interesting too the clear statement that not only the rights of the person with the gender identity can be taken into consideration. Should the SCJ go to the ECtHR this is likely to be a similar outcome; they would need to give equal weight to women's rights.

Good to hear that the rights of the child are considered first and foremost above the irrational demands of one very deluded woman.

Good! The rights of the child should be the top priority here.
Don’t carry and give birth to a child if you don’t want to be known as it’s mother
