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

I take your point. He is so distinctive because he is so well-informed and, to a point, really very sensible. You can see why they think he is a secret TERF (although he does not say anything that would suggest he is) because he treats them to the facts.

There is also an interesting discussion on that thread about labels, and who falls within the umbrella. I have always said that the first hurdle for TRA ideology to become law is finding a workable definiton of trans.

Yeah, scientists would already have worked out how to impregnate men if not for evil TERFs holding them back!

I don't think any of this would have happened if not for the Internet. I can't believe anyone would be this divorced from biology if they were frequently interacting face-to-face with other humans. You can see it from the way they describe themselves as being in "boy mode" or "girl mode", as though bodies are as customisable as video game avatars.

I am delighted with this news.
A birth certificate belongs to the person named on it. It is the child's document.
They have the right to have an accurate document. Mother is a biological fact and every child has the right to know where they come from biologically.

Huh. New gender dysphoria trigger unlocked apparently: when fellow trans people deny the reality of biological sex. I guess it must have to do with the cult-like gaslighting of it all or something.

That was me, thanks. Would it not be possible to find out if it has been thrown out?

Ugh, that always gives the ick.

Purely guesswork on my part - I imagine the party bringing forward the case (McCloud) would be told but perhaps there's no publication for all to see.

Oh my word, that Reddit thread is completely insane!

'Her sperm'...FFS!!😡

I thought Freddie described the second pregnancy as 'a happy accident'?

Surely for trans identifying females, a hair transplant is just another performance of being male. Deeply, deeply tragic for the kids.

Oh you could be right, it might just have been the first that I'd read about.

It's not private information, he says it himself in his Reddit profile.

My favourite winter shoes are a pair of men's boots.

When I do decorating I wear an old sweatshirt of DH's.

Am I part bloke? Or am I missing whatever point these lunatics are trying to make?

Just my thought!

I am surprised but pleased as they seem such a transed organisation.

My mum’s 80ish yo neighbour insisted on helping me drag some furniture out to the kerb, saying she grew up with three brothers and always mucked in. I picked up something heavy and she laughed and said “You’re like me, half a man!” Maybe you are half a man too? 😀

The dissonance and denial is wild.

I wear unisex/men’s clothes fairly often. I’ve not grown a penis yet, when can I expect my Y chromosome? Will it be in the post or is it some kind of magic beans type thing?

Jaysus, that scrambled my brain.

Definitely part bloke - go to HR for your pay adjustment now!

So that's the fiction adjacent to "her penis'.

I feel most sorry for her children.

She planned to give birth to her second child in Sweden, so she could be named as the “father” on the birth certificate, but had an emergency c-section in the UK.

From Wikipedia. McConnell announced his second pregnancy in August 2021,[12] with plans to give birth in Sweden in order to be listed as the child's father, rather than mother, on their birth certificate.[13] His second child was born in the UK in January 2022 via emergency c-section.

Also hasn’t stated her child’s sex.

If she really is dysphoric, why would she do the most female thing possible and have two children?

I don’t have dysphoria, but I never wanted children. I just don’t understand this at all.

That almost makes it sound as though the main point of having the second child was to get 'father' on a piece of paper.
