Ten years ago the GRA 2015 was enacted - self-ID legislation far more progressive than anything even proposed in the UK, allowing trans people to get legal recognition for their gender. The skies did not fall in and many other European states have followed suit*

Keep embarrassing the socially conservative Brits, Ireland..Switzerland, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Portugal etc etc

Nobody should be given official paperwork that is false. No man should have a government issued certificate that says he is a woman, because no man is a woman.

It is not so much about being 'socially conservative' , as much as we here in the U.K having forced a proper discussion of the issues involved. Many of those places just passed the legislation alongside gay equality legislation without the public being any the wiser. They will now live with the consequences. It is far easier to not pass poorly drafted legilation in the first instance, than to have to repeal and undo it at a later date. The U.K leads the way.
