I mean, while saying this out loud, they should've realized how ridiculous it sounds.

LOLZ. Except by the one law that overrides everything else at the end of the day- Nature.

It's a shame we have made mental illness mainstream, and people like this aren't in asylums where they can't influnce innocent children.

If you physically carry a child and give birth, you are the mother. You simply cannot be the father. It ain't possible. I mean, c'mon. This ain't rocket surgery, folks.

This gives new meaning to the term "screwed yourself".

The subject of this thread should read:
“Biological woman who gave birth to boy loses legal fight to be recognised as father”

This transvestite (I refuse to use the term transgender) shite has gone way too far. It’s about damn time at least one agency has taken a stand and sided with science.

A woman wanting to be a man who does not want to be described as the “mother” of her baby on a birth certificate has lost her legal fight to be recognised as the father.

Freddy McConnell, a multimedia journalist who works for The Guardian, wanted to be registered as father or parent of her child.

A judge on Wednesday ruled against her after analysing argument at a High Court trial in London.

"There is a material difference between a person's gender and their status as a parent," said Sir Andrew McFarlane, president of the Family Division of the High Court, in a ruling.

"Being a 'mother', whilst hitherto always associated with being female, is the status afforded to a person who undergoes the physical and biological process of carrying a pregnancy and giving birth.

"It is now medically and legally possible for an individual, whose gender is recognised in law as male, to become pregnant and give birth to their child.

"Whilst that person's gender is 'male', their parental status, which derives from their biological role in giving birth, is that of 'mother'."

A lawyer who represented Ms McConnell said an appeal was being considered.
