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
11B Change in gender of civil partner
(1) This section applies in relation to a protected civil partnership if (by virtue of section 4(2)(c) or 4A) a full gender recognition certificate is issued to a party to the partnership. (2) The continuity of the protected civil partnership is not affected by the relevant change in gender. (3) If the protected civil partnership is a protected overseas relationship— (a) the continuity of the civil partnership continues by virtue of subsection (2) notwithstanding any impediment under the relevant law; (b) the relevant law is not affected by the continuation of the civil partnership by virtue of subsection (2). (4) In this section— “impediment” means anything which would affect the continuation of the overseas relationship merely by virtue of the relevant change in gender; “relevant change in gender” means the change or changes in gender occurring by virtue of the issue of the full gender recognition certificate or certificates; “relevant law”, in relation to the protected overseas relationship in question, has the same meaning as in Chapter 2 of Part 5 of the Civil Partnership Act 2004.

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.
