THREAD: There& #39;s more rumours in today& #39;s papers that the Government may drop plans to meaningfully reform the Gender Recognition Act.

Even though the majority of the public support introducing a simplified process for trans people to get legal recognition of their gender

Not to mention that both the Trade Union Congress & British Medical Association called for GRA reform this week! The BMA went as far as saying that doctors & #39;should take no part& #39; in the process of trans people changing their legal gender

For years, trans communities have said the GRA is outdated. The British public overwhelmingly agreed and called for reform via consultation. Trade unions and doctors just this week re-affirmed their support for reform.

Trans people have waited too long for equality

Now, if today& #39;s report is true and the Government doesn& #39;t move forward with real GRA reform it will be a bitter blow for trans people.

But what hasn& #39;t changed is trans people& #39;s legal right to access single-sex spaces in line with the gender they identify with

This news won’t change the fact that in a landmark ruling this week, an employment tribunal decided that Equality Act protections cover non-binary and gender fluid people

What also won& #39;t change is the fact that Stonewall will continue to work with trans communities and trans-led organisations to build a world where all of us can be accepted without exception.

We will get there, together.
