🌈 As Pride Month 2022 comes to a close it seems

🌈 As Pride Month 2022 comes to a close it seems that while the Hong Kong people are generally opening and accepting of the LGBTQI+ community, the systems and policies still have a way to go. ⁠
.⁠
When it comes to conceiving children: "We decided we wanted to go down the route of trying for a biological child which meant we needed a donor and assistance in becoming pregnant. You can only be considered for IVF in Hong Kong if you are legally married however 𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗼𝗻𝗴, 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗱𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲."⁠
.⁠
At the public hospital appointments: When I gave them a copy of Chrissy’s ID card they waved it away and wrote ‘𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗟𝗘’ in large letters across my form.⁠
.⁠
Getting a birth certificate: I also had to write out a long statement claiming I had no knowledge of who the ‘father’ was. It was definitely not the quick registration of the birth our heterosexual friends had experienced!⁠
.⁠
Taking parenting leave: I took the full maternity leave and Chrissy was given the standard five days “paternity” leave that fathers are granted in Hong Kong. And, yes, it was still called “paternity leave” in the system!⁠
