Baby born to a transgender man could be the first child in Britain to not legally have a mother.
A leading family judge is to rule whether a transgender man's baby could become the first born in England or Wales to not legally have a mother.
The baby is the child of a single parent who was born a woman but now lives as a man after undergoing surgery.
He wants to be identified on the birth certificate as the child's 'father' or 'parent' but the law requires him to be registered as the mother as he gave birth to the child.
Sir Andrew McFarlane, President of the Family Division of the High Court, is due to make a decision on what will be on the child's birth certificate following a trial scheduled to take place at the High Court in London in February.

The worlds gone mad. Imagine this poor child in years to come, if this goes ahead.
Every time they have to produce their birth certificate, there it will be in
black and white that “my transgender father gave birth to me”.
