I’m sorry but that is nuts, £200,000k?? Pick your battles omg

That doesn't include the government's costs or the funds I've raised. Probably about £500,000 total on the line. We were not expecting Kemi Badenoch to take a personal interest in fucking me over when this started.

500,000 seems unreasonable. You said you've been recognized as non binary in America, you have documents and birth certificate that reflect that from America, why isn't that enough? Do you need that recognition from the UK government for your work or other legal stuff or is it just for you?

They won't honor my birth certificate and/or passport, unfortunately.

"Pick your battles omg" Uh, they have... Hence the aforementioned legal battle

Good luck on fighting the good fight I guess but potentially sinking half a million quid on one person’s certificate is bonkers.

It's not just for me. There's at least 100,000 nonbinary people in the UK, and once I'm recognized it'll be easier for them to get the same.

It's a very strategic case - I picked an angle that I can win without having to get the courts to agree I'm entitled to rights.

Folks tried to get lawmakers to do the right thing. They just wanted to keep kicking the can. Someone needed to fill the can with cement. Might as well be me.

Donated, and thank you for your good work! Would be nice if one day I can be legally recognised in my birth country. Grateful for anything that helps us get there.

Donated 😁

While this might not be the most important issue right now, this is one that has a clear path to being won, and any win would make the next one a little easier.
