mirror.co.ukTory ministers have scrapped plans to make it easier for trans people to change their legal gender after a bitter three-year fight.
In a major U-turn, Equalities Minister Liz Truss ditched a vow to "demedicalise" the process of getting a gender recognition certificate - which is needed to change a person's passport or birth certificate.
Instead she announced two smaller changes - applications will move online and the £140 fee will be reduced. Trans people will still need a medical diagnosis of "gender dysphoria", evidence they have lived in their assumed gender for two years, agreement from their spouse, and to have their bid approved by a panel of medics and judges.
