Don't scrap the Gender Recognition Act reforms, and make trans rights equal.
The Government should not scrap the GRA reforms, instead they should focus on allowing trans people to have the same rights as everyone else. They should be respected and allowed to have their dignity instead of being repressed. Trans people are still people and they deserve to be treated as such.
The Government can make changes to the laws and acts surrounding the main issues and allow trans people to be treated equally. The disrespect that is shown towards them is completely unethical and things have to change. Regressive action should not be allowed to further marginalise trans people in society.
