> The current process for receiving a gender recognition certificate dictates that applicants have to be “medically diagnosed as having gender dysphoria, go through a minimum two year process and be aged over 18,” The Times reports. The reform bill no longer mandates medical evidence of gender dysphoria and lowers the age requirement to 16.

I dunno, sounds like a solid reason to have issues with it, having medical professional not be involved in the process sounds like travesty ripe for abuse and mishandling

Sure, but I never made a value judgement on JK Rowlings views so I’m not sure how your own personal perspective on this ruling is relevant.

Just because you agree with JKR it doesn’t make the message any less political
