I consider it relevant but I am happy to wait. It is a reasonable question and it deserves a careful answer. I suppose I consider it relevant because I am talking about amendment No. 12, which states: “No single man shall be allowed to undertake surrogacy.” I am talking about a situation where a single man, a biological male at least, but who may have availed of the 2015 legislation to have their preferred gender as female, would thereby be enabled as a single man. We are talking about them undertaking surrogacy in that situation, although they may present to the world and have their preferred gender recognised as female. It is connected but I am equally happy to wait.
