Anger After Calls Say Babies Should Be Registered Non-Binary at Birth

15 October - 57 mins
Podcast Series Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

Ruth Coppinger is pushing new legislation that would allow parents to put an “X” on a child’s birth cert instead of male or female — and also add a non-binary option to Ireland’s gender recognition certificate.

Adrian says it wouldn’t affect his life and asks: what difference does it make? Katie isn’t having it, calling it political correctness gone mad, arguing “science” is simple and that parents would be “indoctrinating” kids.

Then the calls explode. Chris (planning a baby via surrogacy) says he’ll raise his child without assigning gender, while Vanessa argues sex and gender aren’t the same — and gets major backlash. Expect rows, shocking comments, and a heated finish.
