The news that was 'leaked' over the weekend indicates that the UK government has shifted on its previous plans to make it easier for people to change the sex marker on Birth Certificates. Self-id will be abandoned and safeguards will be put in place to protect “safe spaces” for women, including the introduction of new national guidelines on lavatory provision.
The reason for this news being leaked is to test public reaction - does it sounds like most people approve of these decisions, or is there public outrage?
If we are happy with the above news, we should email Boris Johnson and Liz Truss our approval, and maybe even tweet about it if possible.
I've read (but cannot confirm) that Liz Truss will be speaking in Parliament about equalities this Wednesday.
According to the Times article,
No 10 declined to comment but a government source did not dispute the leak: “The report is not yet finalised and the prime minister will have the final say on the recommendations.”
So it's important we let Boris Johnson and also Liz Truss know that we are in agreement with and approve of their plans.

The TRAs are urging their supporters to do the same using hyperbole like it's 'rolling back the human rights of trans people' and it would be a waste of public money for cash strapped councils to hire genital police to patrol public toilets and other unhinged nonsense. 🙄
I think Boris and Liz will be grateful to have some rational emails from us.
