The Orwellian nightmare of ‘trans truth’
by Ann Farmer, MercatorNet:
An English court has been presented with a mind-bending transgender dilemma in family law.
Sir Andrew McFarlane, president of the Family Division of the High Court has called for the working of the 2008 Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act to be examined. It emerged that “TT”, born a woman but identifying as a man, was allowed “to access fertility treatment legally reserved for women” only days after being legally accepted as a “trans man” and granted a Gender Recognition Certificate under the 2004 Gender Recognition Act.
TT subsequently gave birth to a child, and “he” is now seeking to be legally recognised on “YY’s” birth certificate as the “father”.
Samantha Broadfoot QC, on behalf of the AIRE Centre – a charity that independently intervened to protect the rights of the child — produced government papers showing that “civil servants suggested the parent could simply be known as a ‘male mother’”. She said that “the child sees itself, and is presented to the world, as if TT is its dad. But its birth certificate officially presents its dad as its mum. This undermines the child’s individual identity and their moral and social security”. This approach was “utterly incongruous”, she added.
If by that she means that it is inconsistent, she is right, because the truth and a lie cannot coexist, least of all on the same birth certificate.
