The Word ‘ Mother ’ Is No Longer A Gender-Specific Term….
….Government lawyers told the High Court yesterday.
Ben Jaffey QC, acting for the Department of Health, made the claim during a court hearing as a female-to-male parent attempted to be registered as the father of his child, despite giving birth to the baby.
If the legal bid is successful, the child would be the first to have no legally recognised mother.

If you don't want one, don't get one. That seems a reasonable compromise to me. If you don't get one, in turn then this court case (which I think the Mail is sensationalising) will have no significant impact on your life.
It certainly does happen, children pick up on the attitudes of those around them and if they hear certain derogatory remarks whilst the News is on or Mum and Dad are reading the paper they'll trot them out.
Seen it and heard it, hence far better to instil tolerance and understanding and discuss difficult issues rather than yell 'End of'.

The person making this claim isn't trying to redefine established terminology. That's the person arguing against them. The parent is, now that he's legally male, trying to be recognized as father rather than mother as is consistent with his legal status. If you accept that such a status should exist at all, then it's hard to see why he's wrong.
