TOMORROW: It’s twenty years since Parliament overwhelmingly passed the Gender Recognition Act. That means it’s been law for longer than many young trans people have been alive. This is the foreword to Volume 2 of my book series about achieving that landmark, Pressing Matters.
NB. The reason Commons passage was the definitive vote stage was because the Bill had started life by being debated and voted by the Lords and then moving to the Commons.
