Gender Recognition Act 2004
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
11A Change in gender of party to marriage
(1) This section applies in relation to a protected marriage if (by virtue of section 4(2)(b) or 4A) a full gender recognition certificate is issued to a party to the marriage. (2) The continuity of the protected marriage is not affected by the relevant change in gender. (3) If the protected marriage is a foreign marriage— (a) the continuity of the marriage continues by virtue of subsection (2) notwithstanding any impediment under the proper law of the marriage; (b) the proper law of the marriage is not affected by its continuation by virtue of subsection (2). (4) In this section— “foreign marriage” means a marriage under the law of a country or territory outside the United Kingdom; “impediment” means anything which affects the continuation of a marriage merely by virtue of the relevant change in gender; “proper law”, in relation to a protected marriage, means the law of the country or territory under which the marriage was entered into; “relevant change in gender” means the change or changes of gender occurring by virtue of the issue of the full gender recognition certificate or certificates.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
