Humanists UK's GRA Consultation Response

[arranfan]

LGBT Humanists UK have pre-filled the answers for you.

My, very biased, interpretation would be to see that it sings, "The Wheels On The Bus" after throwing women under the wheels.

However, there is rather more nuance to it than my summary indicates and your response might be different. And for all I know the membership has been fully consulted and is in full-throated support.

LGBT Humanists has responded in support of this change, submitting that gender dysphoria should not be considered a medical disorder and that its classification as such has negative consequences for transgender people, both in terms of the legal process of transitioning and in encountering social stigma and prejudice. At the same time, LGBT Humanists notes that this is not proposed to – and should not – lead to any reduction in legal protections on grounds of sex.

The only usual NHS justification for providing surgery/hormones/medical intervention is to treat a diagnosable underlying condition. If there is no underlying condition, then the procedures could be deemed cosmetic, and may be looked at just like a face lift or liposuction for reasons of appearance. The NHS likely won't be expected to publically fund such treatment if there is no clear medical reason to do so.

Talk about nitpicking. You're writing as if Children's Lives and Their Futures Matter.

Fear not. We'll soon have that nonsense educated out of us in the gulag.
