Baroness Hale on radio 2 atm.

Jeremy Vine just asked her whether a male who has not had any surgery should be able to identify as female, and whether the law should get involved.

Baroness Hale said this is currently a legal requirement to get a new birth certificate. Is that true?

Great to hear the question being asked.

By which I mean that you cannot get a new birth certificate until you have a gender recognition certificate using the criteria I described above.

No it's not true. The only criteria is you have to be over 18, living in role for two years (which is proven by paperwork in your new name) and have a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. The diagnosis of gender dysphoria specifically does not include any kind of surgery.
