hi tumblr-the conservative party is back at it again.
currently, the GRA (gender recognition act) says to transition “legally”, trans people have to:
get two diagnoses of gender dysphoria (including one from an NHS gender clinic, which have a 2-3 year wait time currently),
prove you have lived as your chosen gender for 2 years,
swear to live the remainder of your life as such
and do all of this in front of a “gender recognition panel”, a process which is very humiliating and largely depends on people deciding if you are “trans enough”.
in 2018, the idea was put on the table to progress the rights of transgender people in the UK. Including:
allowing them to self identify as their chosen gender (including 16 & 17 year olds, who have previously been denied the right to)
demedicalising the transition progress, no doctors would need to diagnose gender dysphoria to transition.
removing the cost to have your gender legally recognised
allow non-binary identities to be recognised
it has recently been leaked that the current government has scrapped these ideas [source source]. Our equality minister, Liz Truss, is horribly transphobic and wishes to backpedal on the few rights we have.
trans people have said for years that the GRA is outdated and in need of reform, and have had the tiny ray of hope that it may be changed ripped out from under us behind closed doors.

Holding Jews accountable for Lord Dampnut winning the election because white people overwhelmingly supported him and “Jews are White People” is both antisemitic and counterfactual. The only American ethnic group to vote against him in a greater proportion than Jews is Black people.
