Closed 1,282 signatures

What the petition asks

Transgender men should be allowed on their partner's birth certificate as dad when the baby is through artificial insemination or Natural Insemination we are men too!! We have the right to be dads we are not adopted parents we are bringing up the child from birth!
I have rung the registry office and been told that we 'might' be treated as lesbian couples and will have to adopt the child which in my opinion is wrong in many ways both me and my Fiancee agree on the fact that I should be dad on the birth certificate I have been passed around to many people and still have not got an answer. I shouldn't have to question how I'm going to go onto the birth certificate I should just be able to go on it as should any other transman in our situation!
