Abstract
This article draws on three narratives from a Canadian research project on LGBTQ people and fertility clinics to illustrate how LGBTQ bodies, identities and family configurations are frequently misrecognized and unintelligible in the fertility clinic context. The flow of the patient through the clinic is disrupted by the inability of clinic staff to disentangle the assumptive links made between body parts, gametes, gender, sex, sexual orientation, sexual practice and family configuration. The author explores how the ‘gender and kinship labour’ and processes of objectification that typically operate in the fertility clinic to bolster conventional masculinities and femininities break down in relation to queer and trans bodies, and offers the beginnings of a framework to assist practitioners, and others, to conceptualize and work more effectively with LGBTQ people.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
