UK Government to review process for trans people to legally change gender
by Joseph Patrick McCormick, Pink News:
The British Government has announced a review of the way trans people are able to legally change their gender.
The review comes after long-time calls from the trans community to review and update the Gender Recognition Act 2004.
It was announced by Women and Equalities Minister Nicky Morgan today with an emphasis on moving the process away from medical checks.
The announcement today by Mrs Morgan said trans people can feel “like they are treated as if they have a mental illness”.
