A transgender man who gave birth has lost his latest court battle to be registered as "father" or "parent" on the birth certificate, rather than "mother". Freddy McConnell said that forcing him to be recorded as his child's "mother" is a breach of his human right to respect for private and family life.
On Wednesday, three Court of Appeal judges ruled against him, saying the issue raised complicated "interlinked" legislation, and that the reform is a matter for parliament.
