stonewall have done a great job of making responding to the consultation easy and it’s a quick process to go through the form on their website.
i am going to copy/paste directly from innesmck on twitter who put it as succinctly as possible:
(the images above say:
right now the process for gender recognition:
is exensive
requires medical transition
excludes many many trans people
can be blocked entirely if you’re married
requires providing evidence so a panel of cis judges can decide whether you’re transitioned enough
we need a gender recognition process which is:
free
straightforward
dignified
believes trans people
requires no medical documents
includes trans young people
includes non-binary genders)
if you want to be a good ally, this is one way to help. add your voice. don’t delay; do it immediately. tell other people and make sure they do it immediately too.
