I seem to recall there was some comment in the story about it should be as easy as marital status name change?



"In theory, updating gender records should be as easy as changing marital status, he told the BBC."



Well, given that men don't have to do this, and go from being Mr Fred one day to being Mr Fred the next, whilst their new wives can get in a total mess with passports, flights and hotel room bookings for the honeymoon etc etc --- it just sounds (as usual), that someone is assuming that it's all peachy and easy-peasy for laydees, but specially complicated and difficult and stressful for trans folk.



Of course, I'm all annoyed because since I got the PhD and started used Dr Somedyke on my bank account, I'm all gender-neutral anyway, so won't have the chance to choose an exciting new title...................



Or perhaps I should be Dr Miscellaneous, which makes me sound like a superhero who collects oddments. What would my superpowers be????
