Gender Recognition
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether she is taking steps to simplify the process whereby anyone seeking to change gender in the UK must get approval from a panel of doctors and lawyers.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
In our manifesto, we committed to modernising, simplifying, and reforming gender recognition law while upholding the Equality Act and its provisions on single-sex exceptions.
We will remove indignities for trans people whilst retaining the need for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria from a specialist doctor.
