Note that the SNP at Holyrood remain committed to GRA reform:
“We will also consult on the detail of draft legislation to bring Scotland’s process of Gender Recognition in line with international best practice.”
Green Party (England and Wales):
“Remove the spousal veto so that married trans people can acquire their gender recognition certificate without having to obtain permission from their spouse. We will also change the law so an X gender marker can be added to passports for non-binary and intersex people who wish to use it, and update the Gender Recognition Act to allow trans youth and non-binary people to get legal recognition through self-declaration.”
