That IS notable, and troubling.
A GRC is just a "paper certificate" in the same way adoption, marriage, divorce, citizenship, and death certificates are.
Lord Reed can dismiss anything legal he looks down upon by virtue of "pfff it's only just written down anyhow".
The UK Supreme Court. Wow.

This is why I think the next Democratic president needs to use the EXACT tools that SCOTUS has handed Trump. Don't leave room for any distinctions.
Impound funds for deportation. Give ICE the USAID treatment. Refuse to collect government-backed debt. Purge MAGA loyalists from the executive branch.

Currently pushing Christian Concern backed court cases in the UK. The Conrathe's & his mates in the EHRC that are bringing & intervening in most anti trans court cases. Same ties to SEGM & Genspect whose members Weasel Streeting has installed in the NHS, after they authored the Cass propaganda.

Letโs be honest - @theguardian.com and much of the legacy media have spent years dressing up anti-Trans+ rhetoric as โfactโ
They too have helped deceive the US and UK Supreme Courts
They share responsibility for the erosion of basic individual rights, including the right to control oneโs own body

Behind the ruling: how โSex Mattersโ is shaping UK policy on trans rights
The UK Supreme Court ruling redefined โsexโ โ but for trans people, itโs the start of something far more sweeping and exclusionary
I don't think enough is made of Starmer appointing a SexMatters director into number 10 as comms manager.
Or that SexMatters wrote to NHSE asking for the blocker study to be cancelled because being trans in the UK with no rights is undesirable.

you can't get a GRC unless you have two diagnoses, one by an NHS diagnostician - who all work for the GICs.
I mean, sure, Labour has gutted the GRC without even having a vote, denied us Article 8 rights, and are responsible for community deaths, but at least they "know what a woman is" right?

Labour isn't complicit in this - they're ramping it up. Labour has been worse than the Conservatives ever were in their 14 years on this issue.
I'm nine years into a wait at the moment, and the latest news is that it'll be over 200 years before my GIC will see me?

White Peopleโs Performative Ignorance Is ExhaustingโOpinion
Disbelief over authoritarianism in America isnโt a cutesy personality trait. Itโs a confession: You havenโt been paying attention.
"Black people are tired. Not metaphorically tiredโactually tired. The kind of tired that turns every group chat into a mix of gallows humor and emotional triage."

Update to timeline: the mods finally sent Link a reason why he was banned. He posted a meme image with Charlie Kirk, and they claimed he was inciting violence. Apparently trolling is now inciting violence, at least if you're Black and critical of the CEO's bigotry.

4. Link called her out on that, and apparently was immediately banned without any notification about the reason
Given that Link has been a very strong pro-trans, pro-sex worker, and pro-Palestinian voice on here (not to mention being Black), this feels ominous as Fuckity Jim
