We've got to be vigilant to make sure those rights are not impacted by the penis, as they have been since time immemorial, and at the same time uphold the rights of transsexual people. It's a muddy one.

Sadly its real women who are pushing the changes through. Its Maria Millers bill thats wanting to remove all 'gatekeeping' from the GRA process. Meaning, it will literally be as easy as filling in a form to 'change sex'. Its supported by May too apparently.
There is no need whatsoever to change the GRC. Its fine as it is. Those wishing 'changing sex' to be as easy as filling in a form on the internet have had (until recent months) almost full support as people did not think any deeper into what this would actually mean :S
With it finally being publicized (largely thanks to the Times..who seem to be the only paper willing to report on it properly) I am hopeful that the nonsense will not win.
