UK Trans Info has today published a new guide to UK legal gender recognition, which was created with support and funding from the Scottish Transgender Alliance. This booklet explains what gender recognition is, what the eligibility requirements are, how to make the application and what happens once you have applied. It will also guide you through the additional steps you’ll need to take if you are married or in a civil partnership.

The guide is available at http://uktrans.info/gra

Don’t get too excited when you read about legal “third genders” - they are usually based on rigid biological determinism to dictate “gender.” Really appreciate this article for pointing out these contradictions.
