Perhaps "Steph" obtained an Overseas GRC Dr Octagon?
Or perhaps it is all smoke and mirrors?
Because ( rightly) we don't go round shouting "Papers!"
So the persona of "Steph" relies on people taking "Steph" for "Steph," not a Heinz 57 varieties of aliases.
For years on here Women have posted about the " in good faith" understanding Women had regarding Safe Spaces. This Forum is not anti Trans. It is very anti the con merchants and offenders who seek opportunities for themselves. To do this, they need the removal of Safeguarding and shout down anyone who stands up to them with the cry "transphobe".
The people I know who have a UK GRC, ( less than ten and I would not dream of even saying the jobs they do), and who did not go through the Overseas route, ALL had a long distressing time fighting for a GRC, and in some cases were initially refused, a UK GRC.
I may add, as far as I know, the difference with the persona of "Steph" is that the people I know, who are trans, have no convictions for violent sexual offences nor violent assaults. They are sick and tired of the "Steph and Company" weasel bandwagon.
