Clarté juridique au Royaume-Uni : le mot « femme » renvoie au sexe, non au genre. Mais contrairement à ce qu’on peut entendre, cette décision n’entame en rien les droits des personnes trans.
The number of people applying for a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) has reached a new record. Government figures revealed that there were 1,397 applications in 2023-24 and, of those, 1,088 were granted. Labour has vowed to simplify the process of changing gender, meaning that the numbers could rise further.
Yesterday’s* judgment by Lady Haldane is good news for everyone. She ruled that the UK Government was right when it blocked the Scottish Government’s Gender Recognition Reform Bill. Much has already been written about why the bill was incompetent, and why it would have been bad news for women and children, but where does this decision leave transsexuals?
