What the fuck? How are they even going to do that?
Kemi Badenoch, who is both the Women and Equalities minister and the Business Secretary, told MPs that countries where self-identification policies for transgender people have been adopted will be removed from its list of approved regions.
“This is long overdue,” she said on 6 December. “The list of approved overseas countries and territories was last updated in 2011.”
Badenoch continued: “We are doing this because there are some countries and territories on the list who have made changes to their systems and would not now be considered to have similarly rigorous systems as the UK.
“Inadvertently allowing self-ID for obtaining GRCs is not government policy.
“It should not be possible for a person who does not satisfy the criteria for UK legal gender recognition to use the overseas routes to do so.”

The whole fucking country is reactionary. Before US took over the world stage after WWII, UK was one of the most prominent reactionary hubs of the world for 400 years.
