Brilliant from Naomi Cunningham speaking at
@Commonswomequ
explaining how self ID impacts small service providers - the refuge or the spray tanning salon
it seems to me that she's talking as though a man could just spontaneously self declare as a woman and walk in to a refuge. would it not still require 6 months of living as a woman to get a GRC under the GRA? my understanding is that the reason for it is that it is currently too difficult for trans people to transition, and that they need to endure a minimum of two years of going into toilets that don't match their gender identity. is there something in the act that i'm missing that makes it a much more imminent and spontaneous risk? i basically though the idea of it is to make it easier, i.e. less awful, to go through gender re-assignment.
