A High Court judge in London on Friday (17 October) ruled that a transgender man should not be denied a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) simply because he wishes to conceive a child.

The gender recognition panel had previously declined to issue a GRC certificate to the man, stating he had not explained why "it was not incompatible to live as a man when trying to conceive and carry a pregnancy".

The judge found that the panel’s earlier decision "To require him to abandon either one for the other would be to dismantle and fracture the person he is."

W had paused testosterone treatment after suffering multiple miscarriages so he could undergo IVF, but maintained that both his gender identity and desire to have a family are integral parts of who he is.

W had expressed: "I expect that being pregnant will cause me some dysphoria, but I believe experiencing a level of dysphoria for nine months will be worth it for a lifetime of love having a family."
