Channel 4's Fact Check backs up JKR's claim that people can obtain a GRC without hormones or surgery. C4 contacted Pink News, which had previously denounced her claim as untrue. Faced with the official government line they backpedaled, saying that these instances were 'rare'. No mention of how they and other groups such as Mermaids have been actively campaigning to have even the existing criteria repealed via GRA reform.
