There has been outrage among LGBTQ+ activists after a proposed change to the law to allow transgender people to self-identify was rejected by MPs.<\/p>\n

The changes, proposed in a consultation by Theresa May\u2019s government, would have amended the Gender Recognition Act to allow transgender people to self-identify as their chosen gender without requiring a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria.<\/p>\n

However, the motion was ruled out in Westminster last week, preventing the possibility of change.<\/p>\n

The vote has hit the LGBT+ community in the North West hard, where according to a 2017 government survey<\/a>, 12% of the UK\u2019s LGBT+ population resides.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Florian Le Hunte, a young trans man living in Manchester, chastised the move, saying: \u201cThis government doesn\u2019t care about trans people at all.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs well as the diagnosis and medical opinions, you also need proof that you have lived in your preferred gender for two years.<\/p>\n

“You also need to have proof that you are medically transitioning, which not a lot of trans people can do because it\u2019s so hard to access gender-affirming healthcare in the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Le Hunte said the lack of reform by the government was \u201csowing the seeds of hate amongst its people\u201d.<\/p>\n

Originally from Cheshire, Mr Le Hunte talkd of his experience of being trans in the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn some ways, being a trans person in Manchester is worse than in rural Cheshire, because there are people who know what you are and they hate it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hate crimes have increased significantly following the 2016 Brexit referendum, with two in five people having experienced a hate crime based on gender identity,  according to a Stonewall report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Gender Recognition Act was passed in 2004 and at the time, was a significant step forward in LGBT+ rights in the UK. The Act protects \u201cgender identity\u201d rights, although those who identify as non-binary are not included.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
