The process to legally change gender in the UK would get much simpler under new proposals.

Recommendations were made by the House of Commons women and equality committee, and would dramatically overhaul the gender recognition process for trans people.

Whereas in the past transgender people have been made to undergo a lengthy process including medical and psychiatric evaluations, the new process would allow people to change gender by filling in a form.
