Can anyone help me make sense of this? This trans person says that the proposed legislation will enable them to get married. This is the explanation of why they can't at the moment.

Lily had a GRC in January. I wonder what happened to it Hmm

GRC is £140 with a fee waiver for low income.

There is no requirement to have surgery, homone treatment or any other specific treatment. You need a diagnosis of gender dysphoria and you need to give details of any treatment you have had. If you haven't had surgery you need to say why but you can give any reason.

The spousal veto doesn't stop someone applying for a GRC, they just have to end the marriage first if their spouse does not agree to the nature of the marriage contract changing, which seems fair.

It's not clear why Lily would want to remain married to a hypothetical spouse who didn't think Lily's gender was valid. It's also not clear why Lily would want to marry a hypothetical spouse in the first place if Lily thought they would do that.

Requires me to irreversibly alter my body

Lily's objection to irreversibly altering the body says it all for me. If it's important to you to retain your male body, that's fair enough, but if that's the case, please don't expect me to call you a woman.

This is a very good point about the carer and one that a woman I was working with to distribute FPFW leaflets made.

We don't give people DLA or a OAP bus pass just on their say so - they have to provide evidence. So why people are arguing that you should be able to change your birth certificate on a whim I don't know.

There's people in Labour who want to bring in self iding as disabled

(my phone wants to point out the political controversy with this by auto correcting self IDing to self idling)

They already said they had a grc

They posted photos of their passport saying "f"

They can get a grc and a passport but can't change the pay pal

And just a few weeks ago they were talking about their hormones and getting breasts and posting pictures of them in a sports top

Wtf Lily
