Some key points from GRA consultation
. 2/3 agreed with no requirement for gender dysphoria diagnosis to change gender legally
. 79% in favour of removing evidence of living in gender for a period of time (currently 2 years)
. 85% disagreed with spousal consent
All were retained
Getting a Gender Recognition Certificate in the UK is getting cheaper - but trans people still have to prove they've lived in their gender for two years and get a medical diagnosis https://t.co/raPmU8Lbgd
All the current medicalised requirements for a GRC remain, they are just making it cheaper and putting it online. This is a disgusting capitulation to the anti-trans lobbyists when 70% of respondents said remove the medical requirements. #GRA

It took over 30 years to scrap Section 28 – legislation that painted LGBT people as a threat. It will take time to turn the tide on transphobia. And it will take everyone. Don't stop now. Join the fight for trans equality. #TogetherWithTrans https://t.co/bmhvdSwnta
This is a bitter disappointment for trans people and anyone who cares about gender equality. This is not the end though and we will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with trans people @AmnestyUK@hrw#TransRightsAreHumanRights https://t.co/QEfGYmcc2q
What a missed opportunity to create a fairer system. Why should people need permission from a doctor to live as they are? Shame on the UK Govt #GRA https://t.co/9C6ZX5cZE1
