<p>We will be publishing the consultation on reforming the Gender Recognition Act
2004 in due course, which will then run for at least 12 weeks. We are currently considering
the content of the consultation. <br> <br> We have been using the time since announcing
the consultation in July 2017, to engage with a wide range of people and organisations,
including transgender, LGBT, women’s rights and faith groups. This stakeholder engagement
prior to the consultation has been very valuable. The Government recognises that there
are a wide range of views on how we might reform the Act. We will continue to engage
with stakeholders before, during, and after the consultation.</p><p>We have also have
been analysing the responses from trans people who responded to our recent National
LGBT survey, and shared their experiences of applying for a Gender Recognition Certificate
under the Gender Recognition Act. We will publish the results of this survey shortly</p><p><br>
We are currently working across Whitehall to ensure we fully understand what impact
there could be from any reform to the Gender Recognition Act, and will continue to
do so after the consultation.</p>
