I never realised these were published.

Other tribunal decisions taken on same web page.

Sometimes it really hits how insane all this is.

A whole panel dedicated to deciding if you're good enough to imitate the opposite sex. If you do, you get a little certificate.

Crazy.

That's a way bigger number than I thought. That many in 3 or 4 months? That's very worrying.

why is our government allowing this insanity to continue? Men cannot become women. Handing out GRCs to males puts women & children at risk & is a safeguarding nightmare. It's terrifying that labour talk of bringing in assisted dying when they condone this craziness.....I have lost all faith in government.

Put me on the panel, I can make the decision for the 885 outstanding toot sweet. No 885 times.

That's from 2020/21. If you want a historical perspective, have a look here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/gender-recognition-certificate-applications-and-outcomes/gender-recognition-certificate-applications-and-outcomes

Broadly, in the past, on average, around 400 applications and 400 decisions per year (a suggestion of 22 weeks' decision time) with a refusal rate of around 5%. But I don't know the re-application rate.

As in the op and on the page itself the figures are for 2024

Given the increase in female transitions, I would expect many in that number to be female applicants? We keep assuming everything about transition is male because of its impact on us.

Of the 297 full GRC issued in the last quarter, 168 were given to men, 129 to women.

Women with GRCs don't have as significant a direct impact as men, but they do very much contribute to our societal inability to talk clearly about sex or maintain single-sex services and spaces.

I should have been more clear, the dates in the link you provided run from 2020/21 (and for one graph a year earlier). I thought it would be interesting to compare what's happened recently with what's happened historically so I posted a link with information going back much earlier.

For all that we're told it's an incredibly onerous and humiliating process, it's worth highlighting how rare it is for an application to be refused.

Basically, you have to admit that you're a fetishist or some other bad actor. Or be too dumb to read the trans subreddits where they give advice on what to say.

Anecdotally, ive heard that most people are declined because their paperwork isnt up to srandard or their diagnosis isnt from an approved source.

Wasn't there that TRA up in Scotland who'd been turned down three times? How is it even possible to be turned down three times on a GRC application?
