Transgender Mother Can Be Listed as Father on Birth Certificate, Illinois Rules – Michael Foust

A biological woman who identifies as male and gave birth in December will be listed as the father on the child s birth certificate under a landmark decision by the state of Illinois. 

The state originally ruled that the transgender man, Myles Brady Davis, would be listed as the mother because Myles was the one who carried the baby. Myles identifies as transmasculine. 

But then Lambda Legal sent a letter to the Illinois Department of Public Health on Myles behalf, and the state changed course. Myles although born female and having carried the baby in the womb will be listed as the father, the state of Illinois decided.
