Birdwatch Note

2023-07-31 07:47:17 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

The guidance notes are not legislation. The Act itself says gender dysphoria or surgery are required & the former must be supported by a clinical diagnosis. The tweet conveys the impression that self-identification is a basis for changing sex. This is inaccurate. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/contents
