Resist transgender demands for legal gender recognition for children
By Carys Moseley, Christian Concern.
The government is currently consulting the public on possible changes to the Gender Recognition Act 2004. In this article, Carys Moseley shows what transgender campaign groups are calling for.
You need to realise that transgender rights groups in the UK are demanding that the government brings in legal gender recognition for children. This means they want your children to be allowed to change gender. They are encouraging their supporters to demand this in their responses to the consultation on changing the Gender Recognition Act. The consultation closes on 19 October this year – in only two week’s time. You can read our response here and our simple guide on how to respond here.
Legal gender recognition for children
In response to the consultation, transgender campaign group GIRES (founded in 1997) and the Trans Equality Legal Initiative have teamed up to provide legal guidance on pushing for gender recognition for children. The Transgender Equality Legal Initiative was founded in response to the government’s response to the Transgender Equality Inquiry in Parliament in 2016. It is supported by Action For Trans Health; not the best advert for its work given that its demands include making cross-sex hormones available free ‘on demand’ for anyone of any age who wants them. It has also said that it wants the abolition of gender markers on birth certificates.
