Good news: I got my original birth certificate back from the #GenderRecognitionPanel. They've scanned it & added it to my file as part of my GRC application.
Bad news: "We aim to notify you of a Panel Decision within 30 weeks of receiving your application." 🙃
It was already listed as being at 22 weeks when I applied 😭
I've now got to wait anxiously even longer for any contest they might have to my application 😖

I'm very thankful that I put all of my appointments into my Google calendar.
I could remember roughly when I did things, but like most people, my exact early transition timeline is fuzzy.
What's not fuzzy is seeing an appointment booked with my GP to discuss my gender identity in April 2021.
Or the follow-up appointment with them to get a referral to an NHS GIC.
Or the blood test to support that referral.

I knew it would be difficult to apply for.
I just didn't realise just HOW intentionally difficult they had made this 😖🤦♀️
I fucking HATE the UK, especially England 😭

If I have the spoons & the time, I'm thinking of starting my application for a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) this weekend.

Pink News: Tory government rejects calls for ‘dignity in death’ for trans people after Brianna Ghey killing https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/03/16/uk-government-rejects-brianna-ghey-death-campaign/ #LGBT #LGBTQ #Trans #Lesbian #2SLGBTQ #genderrecognitioncertificate #briannaghey #Politics #petition #Trans #News #UK

"Despite a huge misconception in the trans community to the contrary, it turns out you don’t need a Gender Recognition Certificate in order to be gendered correctly on your death certificate. What’s more, if you know someone who has been misgendered on their death certificate - you can apply to correct it. In this article, I explain this process, and also discuss its limitations compared to the Gender Recognition Certificate, and explain why a better alternative to a GRC is to remove legal sex markers entirely.

Thursday, was hailed a 'historic day' in #Scotland as MSPs passed a gender recognition bill.
Holyrood voted in favor of plans to allow people to legally change their gender through a system of self-identification starting at age 16, extending the new system of self-identification to 16 & 17-year-olds for the first time.
