mpthecat 928 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Note that this is based on leaks and is not finalized yet! “Boris Johnson has reportedly scrapped plans to make changing your gender easier, in a blow for trans rights. On the first day, Boris Johnson came to power plans to make changing your gender easier in the U.K. were kicked into the long grass, and today, The Sunday Times is reporting that according to a leaked document, those plans have now been dropped entirely. The leak says Boris Johnson will scrap plans originally made under Theresa May’s premiership to allow people to change their legal gender by self identification. The plans would have not only made the current arduous and lengthy process of changing your gender shorter – but would have removed a medicalised transition, a great burden, for thousands of transgender people. But now these plans are reportedly dropped, despite 70% of people supporting self-identification, in a consultation on the Gender Recognition Act that has informed this decision. They will however finally announce a ban on “gay cure” therapies, another plan that has long been promised and so far not yet enacted. But in a fresh blow to trans rights, the government is also reportedly preparing to set out new safeguards to protect female-only spaces including refuges and toilets. A No 10 source has told the PA news agency that details of the response were yet to be finalised, and the Prime Minister would have the final say on the recommendations.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamiewareham/2020/06/14/boris-johnson-to-make-changing-gender-harder-in-blow-for-trans-rights/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

numb the flame 7,321 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Yanno that whole theory that we switched calendars and lost eight years meaning 2020 is actually 2012? Remember that whole theory the world would end in 2012? Judging off how this year is going I'm starting to think maybe they right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canada's system is based on the British so I presume it's the same The parliament system when it comes to elections and timing is a bit more random and complicated than the US Presidential system. First if all theres no limit to how long a Prime Minister can rule. If they keep getting elected they stay as Prime Minister. Justin Trudeau's father (Pierre Trudeau) was Prime Minister for something like 16 years Secondly our term periods can be more complicated too. If a Government wins by majority they get 4 years but if they win by minority, elections can be called early with a non-confidence vote which tends to happen a lot juring each budget year and minority Governments rarely last more than 2 years before elections are called again So the number of years someone is a Prime Minister is not a set 4 or 8 years. It's totally random. Can be anything from 1 year to as long as they are alive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
