UK Pol, GRA reform
You may have heard a lot of nonsense about Gender Recognition reform in the UK, and how it's all about toilets, sexual predators, this, that, the other.
It isn't. It is about this, and pretty much only this.

Hi everyone 🙂
Need some help desperately here if anyone can at all please.
So my partner is ftm and has been on hormones for around 6 yrs now, chamged his name back then too. However has not yet got his Gender Recognitiln Certificate.
We are due to get married in March, but now have been told we cant do that without me having to say the words 'to be my lawful wedded wife' so he is NOT happy and will not go through with it understandably.
We have the option of a Civil Partnership instead, but we want to know when his GRC comes through, can the Civil Partnership be converted to Marriage or would we have to dissolve it after a yr and then marry legally?
Its all so confusing!
Hoping anyone here has been through something similar or knows anything about this as we are desperately trying to make the right decision. 😢😢 Thank you

in reply to Sarah Brown • • •I sorry to hear that, that is so frustrating. I hope you can find a way to proceed and not need to use those words! 😢
The US only requires a "declaration of intent" and a pronouncement from an officiant (a license easily obtained and needn't be religiously associated). The wording of the declaration is very flexible.
