[Sticks]

I am leaving the scientific and ethical side of the debate on this, while this thread remains unlocked (A status I suspect will change if the way certain posters are going on here)

My question is one of law.

In times past, if someone had a gender realignment, in the eyes of British law they had to be considered their original gender. This was even tested in the international court of human rights many years ago by a transexual claiming that British law breached human rights, they lost.

I heard somewhere that the law has changed.

Is this the case and if so when did it change?
