In R (McConnell and YY) v Registrar General for England and Wales [2020] EWCA Civ 559, the Court of Appeal held the Registrar General was correct to register a trans man, who had given birth after the issuing of his gender recognition certificate, as 'mother' on his son's birth certificate. In their judgement, the court rejected the appellants' contention that the Gender Recognition Act 2004 should be construed to allow registration as either 'father' or 'parent'. The court further held that the interference with the appellants' Article 8 rights which resulted from the registration as 'mother' was proportionate and justified.
在 R（麦康奈尔和 YY）诉英格兰和威尔士登记总署长案[2020] EWCA Civ 559 中，上诉法院认为登记总署长在一名跨性别男性在其性别认同证书颁发后分娩后，将其登记为其儿子出生证明上的“母亲”是正确的。在判决中，法院驳回了上诉人的论点，即 2004 年《性别认同法》应被解释为允许登记为“父亲”或“父母”。法院还裁定，将登记为“母亲”导致对上诉人的第 8 条权利的干涉是相称和合理的。
