On a serious note though, i hate this so much. This is clearly just a homophobic/transphobic move but like, cishet couples shouldn't have to "prove" that they've been trying to conceive for 2 years either. what the fuck?
Surely a cishet couple would only need to prove that they're medically incapable of conceiving? Like what's the point of trying for 2 years in a case where it just isn't going to happen?
I'm no doctor but if a cishet couple that could "normally" conceive wants to do IVF for no other reason than "We want to", I say let them
This is in Terf Island so a couple that could conceive naturally but just wants to do IVF for some reason would just be taking up a slot of someone who actually needs IVF to conceive.
If they want to pay for it out of pocket, then that's fine.
