Sir Andrew McFarlane wants fertility laws to be re-examined after hearing the case of a transgender man who got pregnant with donor sperm

A senior judge is calling for the government to review the ability of transgender men to access fertility treatment which is legally reserved for women.

Sir Andrew McFarlane wants fertility laws to be re-examined after hearing the case of a transgender man who got pregnant with donor sperm – and had legally become a man when the child was born.

The anonymous man – known only as TT – who was born a female has taken his case to the High Court to be registered as the father on the child’s birth certificate.

Lawyers say if Sir Andrew rules in favour of TT, the baby could be the first born in England and Wales who will not legally have a mother.

Sir Andrew was told civil servants had drawn up a plan to allow the parent to be classed as ‘male mother’, but the judge was told the plan was impractical, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Current UK law states that fertility treatment is only currently accessible to women.

Sir Andrew, president of the Family Division of the High Court, suggested the government should review the 2008 Human Fertilisation and Embryo Authority Act.

‘It is a matter of concern that…the clinic treated TT whilst openly regarding him as a man,’ Sir Andrew said speaking to lawyers representing the Department of Health.

Currently, fertility treatment is only available to women under UK law (file photo) 

‘I am inviting the government to consider whether the operation of the HFEA Act needs to be looked at.’

TT says forcing him to register as the child’s ‘mother’ breaches his human right to respect for private and family life.

The HFEA, which has chosen to not be involved in the High Court case, was not present in court yesterday.

It will be at least another week until a judgment is passed.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
