Our system is broken.
Trans children are outed, humiliated and left feeling alone and vulnerable.
The next government has a huge oppotunity to overhaul the Gender Recognition Act and prioritse #transrights.http://amn.st/60121rizI

Amnesty. This is simplistic, fashionable nonsense. You have not properly considered the human rights. You are being led by
@Mermaids_Gender &@Genderintell organisations that advocate telling healthy children their bodies are "wrong" & surgically turning gay kids 'straight'
The Gender Recognition Act was established to enable a legal fiction to accommodate transsexual people who had undergone surgery --to give them a right to privacy from revealing their true sex when it is not relevant.

Children should not be undergoing this kind of surgery. Their healthy bodies should be protected. They must have time to explore the psychological reasons they feel dissociated from their bodies.

Telling children that others accurately perceiving them as male or female is "outing" them, and is dangerous to their mental health, welfare and that they should keep this basic fact secret for fear of others is cult like behaviour... It is child abuse.

Does the Act actually require surgery? I would have thought that as a condition would be an automatic breach of human rights... Sex and gender are not the same.

No it doesn't . But that was the original thinking https://fairplayforwomen.com/transgender-rights-get-part-2-changing-legal-sex-status/ … Sex and gender are different, and yet gender is allowed to change sex

You don’t have to have undergone surgery to get a GRC and never have. It’s only purpose is to allow trans people to get a new birth certificate so they don’t need to out themselves whenever they show it.
