There are also plans to reform the Trans Act, a law that currently requires those seeking legal gender recognition to undergo years of mental health screening and, unless they are already infertile, enforced sterilisation

Is there an enforced sterilisation program in Finland? I thought that was something associated with totalitarian rule, misogyny and the persecution of ethnic minorities?? Also, isn't this procedure meant to be called gender reassignment surgery or bottom surgery?? I was surprised to read it on the BBC website.

If Goodwin had gone from M to M(t) then none of their arguments for colonising womanhood or women's spaces would have a leg to stand on.

The marriage issue could also have been resolved if the government at the time had been willing to allow same sex marriage. Astonishing (or maybe not) that they were so homophobic that they favoured allowing some men to be legally recognised as women (and some women as men) rather than rule in favour of same sex marriage.

And they couldn't see past their own misogyny to realise that allowing some men to be legally recognised as women could cause problems for women. They recognised that some women becoming men could cause problems for some men though, hence the exemptions for hereditary titles and some areas of religion.
