Who wants to repeal the GRA?

40 replies

Whilst I'm waiting for the pages of the consultation to load stupidly slowly.... I was wondering how many of us think the GRA should be repealed altogether?

And does anyone know what certain prominent "genuine" transsexuals think about it? (I don't remember reading anyone commenting on this).

Yes, its sole remaining function seems to be to confuse the hell out of everyone. There's no need to legally mandate anyone's gender, and legally mandating sex is a nonsense.

I’d be surprised if anyone isn’t :-/

Yes. Let all current people with a GRC keep their certificates. Do not issue any more. Repeal the Act as it is no longer needed- the reason it was passed was to avoid same sex marriages. Strengthen sex-based protections in the Equalities Act 2010. Change the protected characteristic of “gender reassignment” to “gender non conformance”. Define “male” “female” “Man” “woman” “sex” and “gender’ in law.

Yes, me too. We are supposed to be living in an age of evidence-based decisions. Where is the evidence that supports this craziness?

Miranda Yardley (transsexual) says it needs to be repealed.

Me. How the fuck did it get through?

So ridiculous.

Yup. I found the consultation very slow and thought lots of people would give up and it's unlikely to reflect the majority of the population as those who would persist with completing it will be those who hold very strong views either way rather than those who may not have read too much into it but might want to share a few concerns which I would imagine is a much larger group

I know friends of mine have given up when it wasn't loading which is gutting after preaching at them how important it is to complete!
