Tausende Frauen kämpfen ein Jahr nach dem schädlichen Gerichtsurteil gegen die Ausgrenzung von Transsexuellen

Looks like it’s over a hundred thousand signatures.

Man I don’t even have the words anymore. Fuck everyone who made this happen. Fuck you if you think its a good thing. In the course of like ten years we let two-dozen evil people convince us to reboot homophobia on a new group because they realised they’d lost the gay rights fight but if they moved quick they could get trans people before their window of opportunity closed. Gender recognition was in the Tory manifesto like 3 prime ministers ago and look where we are now.

Could a trans person get around any legal restrictions simply by saying that they are not trans, given that there’s no way to prove it either way?

Edit: it’s a geniune question! I’ve just never understood how any of this works in practice. I’ve only seen the genitals of a tiny proportion of the people I’ve met, so I’ve got no idea whether most people are trans or not – I just accept people as the gender they present as. How does anti-trans discrimination work when nobody knows who’s trans?
