Gender Recognition Certificates
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what progress she has made on improving the process by which people can apply for and obtain a Gender Recognition Certificate.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
This Government is committed to protecting trans people, ensuring that they are treated with dignity and respect.
We have already delivered our manifesto commitment to equalise all existing strands of hate crime to ensure that hate crime committed on the basis of sexual orientation, transgender identity, sex or disability is treated equally seriously to that committed on the basis of race or religion. Our next priorities are improving trans healthcare and, as set out in the King’s Speech, to bring forward a trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices.
