Half of gender non-conforming people want to abolish legal gender categories
A new University of Exeter study which interviewed trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming people after the delays to the Gender Recognition Act (GRA) reform found half of respondents thought legal gender categories should be abolished altogether. 49.6% of the 276 interviewed believed the current system of recording gender at birth should be eradicated entirely, and nearly 90% were in favour of a third legal gender option.At the end of September, equalities minister Liz Truss announced there would be few changes to the UK’s GRA, with plans to allow trans people to alter their birth certificates without medical approval being scrapped.
