The government is scrapping plans to make it easier to change gender and intends to protect women-only facilities, The Sunday Times reports . Measures drawn up under Theresa May’s government to enable transgender people change their birth certificate without a medical diagnosis have been ditched by Mr Johnson’s No 10 team which at the same time reports that the government is to ban ‘gay conversion’ therapy to placate the LGBT community while refusing trans people their rights.
According to the Sunday Times, the government is going to ignore the responses to previous Prime Minister Terresa Mays’ consultation on the Gender Recognition Act. With more than 100,000 responses to the public consultation – with around 70% in favour of allowing people to self-identify as a man or a woman. The ST reports that ‘officials were said to believe that the results had been “skewed” by an “avalanche” of responses generated by trans rights groups.’
The Sunday Times seems to suggest there will be some method of policing anatomy inside public toilets. With national toilet guidelines being set by central government.
Various anonymous sources are claiming all kinds of bizarre theories to support this regressive treatment of the UK’s trans community. Such as the consultation aimed at, and for Trans people to comment on the proposed changes to an act which only affected them was then taken over and ‘swamped by Trans activists’ groups’
The details were said to be contained in a leaked paper setting out the Government’s long-delayed response to a public consultation on the Gender Recognition Act. The Sunday Times said that the paper was “basically ready” and was being slated for publication by the equalities minister Liz Truss at the end of July before MPs break for the summer.
The paper quoted a source as saying: “In terms of changing what is on your birth certificate, you will still need to have proper medical approval.
“And you’re not going to be able to march in and find a hippie quack doctor who is willing to say you’re a woman. That’s not going to happen.”
The source added: “There will be big moves on safe spaces and women-only toilets and a total ban on ‘gay cure’ therapies.”
