    Our laws are liberal PROVIDING you get a Gender Recognition Certificate.
    And to get one of those is a fairly difficult and long process.
    If you don't have one, legally you're classed as the gender on your birth certificate.

    The good news is that there is an ongoing review into this process which is hopefully going to take into account things like non-binary genders and make the whole process easier.

    And I guess in both cases nobody stopped for a sec to think "Hey, this might be a bad idea?"

    I really do hate humanity as a whole sometimes. Ugh.

    Thinking is not allowed in the British legal system.

    I want to be surprised. I really do. But all I can feel is "Oh... another one." This happens so often that I've gotten desensitized. "Trans person (more often transwomen than men it seems like) murdered." and "Transperson (usually teen) commits suicide" are so damn common I get even get outraged anymore. Just depressed. Like, what is wrong with this world?

    This is freaking low and cruel. Just because they are biologically male, but really are and even deserve to be female, don't put them in a prison where they do not truly belong in; if they are female or male, assign them in the right place! Criminal or not!
