Very good to see @EHRC do not support #sexselfID as part of GRA reform.
But removal of the spousal exit clause to allow wives to annul their marriage before their husband becomes legally female should not happen without consultation with the women this could impact.

The @EHRC is wrong however in it's claim that "There is no reason why simplifying the process for obtaining a GRC should have an effect on these protected [single sex] spaces and services". /2

When a transwoman gets a GRC they don't just become legally female. They get a birth certificate saying they were BORN female. Plus it becomes a criminal offence for an official to ever reveal their true birth sex. This effectively erases their trans history. /3

@LibDems @joswinson @Emmabarnett @BBCWomansHour 2/ "Do you understand why some women are very concerned about this? [#sexselfID and GRA reform]" @Emmabarnett
"We have a real problem here that there are many vulnerable transwomen and transmen" @joswinson
No acknowledgement at all that some women want & need male-free spaces

@LibDems @joswinson @Emmabarnett @BBCWomansHour 3/ @joswinson was asked how many trans people there are.
"not millions" & "probably in the thousands".
Jo, you want to allow any male a new birth certificate saying he was born female but you have no idea of scale or the resulting impact on the legal sex status of female??

@sarahwollaston @maitlis @BBCNewsnight @LibDems 2/ "Should it be possible for anyone to self-identify as a woman without medical certification" @maitlis
"imagine how humiliating it must be to undergo medical examinations and certifications" @sarahwollaston
No one strips naked in front of a panel to get permission Sarah..

@sarahwollaston @maitlis @BBCNewsnight @LibDems 3/ But the current law does requires a doctors diagnosis of gender dysphoria before a male can change their birth certificate to say they were born female.
This gives legal status as female & massive privacy protections making it a crime to reveal they are really male.
