(Worthy News) – The state of Illinois is changing the parental designations on its birth certificates to accommodate the wishes of transgender people.
In the past, the parent who gave birth was listed as the baby’s mother. But when Myles and Precious Brady-Davis of Chicago found that out, they asked that Myles, who is the parent who actually gave birth, be listed as the baby’s father instead. Myles is a biological woman who identifies as transmasculine. Precious, the other parent, is a biological man who identifies as a woman (transgender woman) and is considered the child’s mother.
According to NBC5Chicago, Melaney Arnold, a spokeswoman for the Public Health Department, said they were the first transgender parents to bring up the issue to the state. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
