Dead people should be able to change their gender, says Labour MP

[IwantToRetire]

A Labour MP has called for the law to be changed so transgender people can have their gender changed posthumously in official records.

In a written question to Parliament last month, Charlotte Nichols, the MP representative for Warrington North, asked if the Gender Recognition Act (GRA) 2004 could be changed “to allow transgender people who are deceased to be legally remembered by the gender they lived by”.

Replying, Stuart Andrew, the equalities minister, said that the Government had no plans to further amend the Act.

He said: “Where a person was using their new gender with an organisation prior to their death, and that was on their personal records, then we anticipate that the organisation would engage with their family members using the new gender.”

Mr Andrew added that “[t]hese organisations could include the NHS”.
His response has fuelled concerns of “self-ID becoming normalised in the NHS.”

Recording a female as a male is a lie. Recording factual information in official documentation to pretend reality is whatever the individual wanted (or may have wanted) it to be is batshit.

It ends the point of there being official documentation.

It’s going to cause some weird problems for future genealogists.

😂 😂. When I'm dead I'll appear to Layla and ask her to repent. From a safe distance.....

A vote for Labour is a vote for this kind of guff. Keep reminding yourself of this every day.

And this is the party hoping to win the next election?
