Transgender man to find out if he can be legally recognised as child's father rather than its mother
Speaking to Sky News earlier this month, he described his decision to carry his own biological child.
So in 2016 he paused taking testosterone and waited for his monthly cycle to return before undergoing IVF treatment using a sperm donor.He fell pregnant on the second attempt. His alternative case, if he is not successful on the first count, is that the law as it stands is a breach of both his and his child's human rights.But those arguing against change say it will make for confusing and inaccurate historical records."We have to define it as the law stands now" explains Olive Gathoni, a family lawyer at Slater and Gordon.
It came to light that Mr McConnell was partaking in a 90-minute documentary film about the experience of giving birth which they claim represented double standards.
