Gender Recognition Act
» Gender Outsiders: Transgendered & Others
A measure that will enable Britain's estimated 5,000 transsexuals to have their birth certificates changed and marry in their new gender gained royal assent from Queen Elizabeth II. ...
A panel of legal and medical experts would authorize the gender recognition. Registrars and other professionals involved would be under a legal obligation not to divulge the fact that a person had changed gender.
However, clergy would be allowed to ask a prospective marriage partner if he or she had changed gender. If they found the answer unsatisfactory, they could refuse to conduct the marriage.
