Further to your section on sexual orientation - we do not of course yet have even in draft the proposed 'conversion therapy ban' bill, though we do have Lloyd Russell Moyle's private member's bill from the last parliament to consider. But on the assumption that such a Bill attempts the obvious (criminalise 'attempts to convert' someone's sexual orientation, inter alia) then that would (if sex=certificated-sex) criminalise applying for a GRC; certainly if the applicant were married or in a relationship they intended to continue. Would it not?
Some of these draft bills have proposed an explicit carve out exception if the conversion therapy is connected with gender affirming care or is intended to convert sexual orientation as a way to validate gender identity. Will need to go back and find which ones, coild be Russell Moyles.
That seems ... an unwise choice in a bill that on its face will be claiming to protect sexual orientation and 'gender identity' *equally* from 'conversion therapy'. Some animals will be explicitly more equal than others, then?
