As for your question, take two minutes to read about it and you will see the myriad of ways it will improve trans peoples’ lives. I have read it. It will make it easier but is that always a good thing? Anyway, obviously the UK government blocking it is bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellichtie Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I find it mind-boggling that so many people have such an issue with a piece of legislation that is designed to make life easier for trans people. The amount of hatred, bile and lies that have been spread about trans people is honestly sickening and anyone peddling it is a horrible, spiteful piece of shit. f**k TERFs and f**k the UK Government. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just not sure what difference it will make to the way things currently are. 3 minutes ago, MrWorldwideJr said: They won't be able to tell you what the GRA involves. They won't be able to tell you what the current process for legally changing your gender involves. They won't be able to tell you anything about what transitioning or being transgender involves in general. Before I'd even hit send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 That Barrymore clip must be from around 25 years ago, and yet here we are! Can’t believe people are so determined to make others lives more difficult for no other reason than bigotry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little apart from not forcing people transitioning to bare their souls to a bunch of strangers; lawyers, doctors and civil servants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suspicion is the UK Government would prefer people in this desperate situation kill themselves, like many tragically have in the past. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Is it not the case that Jack will have to outline exactly how this legislation (reserved) will affect contradictory UK legislation? I’m not sure that’s an easy case to make, SG have two options, challenge it in HoC & force Labour into a vote and / or through the courts which I believe will be heard in Scotland first rather than English courts. Happily to be corrected on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The transgender community, and the LGBTQ+ community in general, is one of the most "at risk" groups of mental illness and suicide. But lets make their lives harder. That'll help them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 After 6 years of simplified gender recognition in Ireland, 195 certificates were granted in 2021, including one for somebody 16-17. We're talking tiny numbers. It's incredible that something that all mainstream parties were pretty well agreed about a couple of years ago has become a major constitutional issue in the UK, all started by US alt-right teenagers finding a way to wind up feminists, and gullible folk like JK Rowling and Graham Linehan falling for it hook, line and sinker. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
