The UK has approved the updated list of countries/territories they'll recognize legal gender corrections from.

They've purged pretty much anywhere that has self-id.

It's still possible to apply for a Gender Recognition Certificate under the old list for "21 days", but I am not sure when that clock starts/started.

Nobody has even been accused of abusing the process, the change to the list was spearheaded by Kemi Badenoch for the sole purpose of hurting transgender people.

@ryanc I am incredibly angry and sad that this has happened. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Hopefully some outlets like Pink News can pick this up to get some eyes on it, even if it's too late to amend..?

@memyselfiamweird It seems like it should be straightforward for Labour to add back everywhere that's been removed if they win the election.

@ryanc @memyselfiamweird ...except I think they won't. They won't like "the optics".
