Of course if it's on the ID you also have to out yourself to any job or service that requests your ID, whether or sex (of any kind) is at all relevant

Exactly, we got a labour government in, we wanted things to get better or at minimum stay about the same. Except things have got worse! Often as a result of labour actions!

Where are you finding a second one?

Yeah it would be different and bad if it was the government doing it.

Israel does do this about conversion to Judaism and it is objectively awful and oppressive

"mysteriously leaked" I believe. Although it hasn't mysteriously leaked anywhere trans people could actually read it in the months since

Not that I've heard of anyway!

This uh, is kind of how converting to Judaism works though. You get a certificate and everything and you don't get one without attending regularly for a year

Why would a random person who is following their employer's policy deserve to be publicly outed and harassed as the effect of their employer's dispute with someone else?

You can think that peggie shouldn't have had to share a changing room with her without insisting she needed to be named publicly

The UK Trans Experience: you can be arbitrarily included in a lawsuit that has nothing to do with you, be included in national coverage and have dozens of articles written about you, be found innocent of everything and still have journalists follow you to different countries to call you a pervert

The cis judge who decided it didn't really matter if Dr Upton was outed should have to pay her compensation imo. She's moved to the other side of the planet and she's still being stalked and harassed.

He ruined her life because he refused to consider outing and harassment a serious harm.

Stalking her even after she's left the country is horrific.

The judge who decided she didn't deserve anonymity did an unimaginable amount of harm.

Every new human pet guy take is it's own bizzare, unhinged gift. He's like a cat who breaks into your house to leave half of an animal you actually thought was extinct on your pillow

One of the less exciting forms of sex tribunal even

More serious concern is trans people who married under the old policy without knowing that they were technically not being married legally correctly getting their marriages annulled if their partner outs them during divorce
Lots of people just brought their passport and thought it was fine

There are none of the ambiguities in phrasing that allowed the SC to pull the nonsense that they did when it comes to the GRA changing someone's legal sex for the purposes of marriage.
Sure someone might do something but they haven't yet.

For everyday things the whole concept is in tatters, yes.

For the purposes of marriage it is really clear and I don't think there are good arguments that it isn't.

Sex on birth certificate is Legal sex. That's how it's defined. Sex on documents non BC docs may be different to legal sex. GRC changes it.
Of course we all now have a mysterious undefined "biological" sex in addition to our previous social and legal ones, which has no corresponding documentation.

Likely policies elsewhere will be exactly the same unfortunately. Getting a civil partnership which has no compulsory gendered wording of any kind may be more viable than cancelling expensive wedding stuff. Depending on how far off date is, plans etc

They can't stop me teaching my controversial module on creative accounting. Woke HMRC is offended and keeps trying to tell me my methods are "illegal" and I should "stop teaching impressionable students to commit tax evasion" but none of them can stop me because I have academic freedom

It's really confusing, they don't require BC if you have a passport but also they require the marriage to be in your legal sex which may not match passport.

Doesn't fix the wedding experience though.
Is it still possible to use a GRC to change a civil partnership to a marriage? Because if so might be possible to do the ceremony as a civil partnership with no misgendering then change it to a marriage after getting a GRC

The whole system is a nightmare, it's ridiculous and I'm so sorry you're caught up in this part of it.

It's incredibly distressing situation to be in, and people often have absolutely no idea, like you, until they are registering or literally on their wedding day. Often long after wedding things have been booked and can't be moved to wait for a GRC. It's absolutely awful and I'm so sorry.

Registrar did not cite FWS just policy change from right after FWS. There's no case here unfortunately.

I think it might be possible to do different wording if getting a civil partnership instead of a marriage, but the law here is absolutely awful

Yeah I think it's likely they checked if it affected them and noticed their policies didn't reflect the GRA and that people's passports often don't match their legal sex.

Marriage is unfortunately dependent on legal sex. This is one of the few things you need a GRC to change, it's really awful and pointless. Previously they just often didn't check and assumed people were cis or had a GRC if their passport was updated.

This was technically the case before FWS unfortunately. Marriage certificates/wording being one of the big things a GRC changes. This should have been completely unaffected by the SC because it's a GRA change, not EA.
In practice it was often unenforced though.

I think they think they're basically buying these women in exchange for a visa

there's not enough of a power imbalance in my relationships so I'm introducing a whole new set by entering into a transactional visa marriage, I assume women raised in more sexist cultures are effectively dolls who want to do housework and have no other motives

Many of these women have a sexuality complaint, and a prejudicial view of trans people which drives their fear and discomfort. This doesn't make their fear and discomfort fake.
