Also, fuck the press for wording anything relating to trans people in the most vague and terf engagement baiting ways possible. "How can we make this sound like special treatment instead of an actual requirement?"
So, trans people in the UK can get a legal document which changes their registered gender and this cannot be accessed by everyone at HMRC so it's not special treatment it's literally just the phone line they need to call or else the person won't be able to help them.
๐จ NEW: HMRC has given trans taxpayers lifetime access to a VIP phone line which answers calls twice as fast
It claims access is needed to ensure โgreater protectionโ of trans people under equality laws

this is easily a top 5 jackass moment. no serious danger, nothing grotesque. just one man and his soup falling for an overly elaborate prank in a way he couldnโt possibly see coming.
