Definition of a mom

An individual who is born female but later becomes male and gives birth should be legally regarded as a mother, England鈥檚 High Court ruled yesterday. Fred McConnell, a transgender man, wanted to be recognized as the father of his son on the official registration of the child鈥檚 birth but was told he would have to be registered as the mother. He sought legal action to quash that decision, saying it breached his and his son鈥檚 rights. But the High Court鈥檚 Family Division dismissed his claim and said he was the mother.
