LGBT charities and advocacy groups including Stonewall have been granted permission to intervene in the legal challenge against the UK Government…
’s largest LGBT charity Stonewall, alongside Gendered Intelligence and the Institute for Constitutional and Democratic Research , have been granted leave to submit evidence in the judicial review set for September.
The charities will argue that many other countries have implemented measures similar to Scotland’s gender reforms, which would have removed the medical element of the process and allowed transgender people to self-ID, and that the UK Government’s Statement of Reasons does not stand up.“The ‘adverse impacts’ on equalities law identified by the UK Government are, in fact, unlikely to occur or will only occur in very rare factual contexts,” the charities said.
Victoria Grace, chief operations officer of the ICDR said: “Constitutional questions like this one aren’t just between governments. They impact on every citizen. Meanwhile, Jay Stewart, CEO of Gendered Intelligence added: “Trans people should be able to live their lives with dignity and autonomy.
