A political post
I've been trying to write a post aobut the political side of being trans and it's a struggle to write this in a coherent and none rambly way
But today i'm fuming ...
Today two dear friends of mine went to do what should be an exciting thing - give official notice of their impending marriage ...
Instead it ended up with one of them being interogated , demeaned and misgendered, because one partner is a trans woman who does not (yet) have a GRC... but she does have a correct Passport
The Government list of documents required to make an application for a marriage licence is shown here.
Passport OR Birth Certificate OR EU Identity card ( as those EU states who issue ID cards tend to format them as per the back page of a passport and AIUI they can be used as such within the EU if not further afield )
