The thing is, article 8 is part of the ECHR. Europe has the final say on it and they would not agree to amend Article 8 to remove our protections The UK would have to pull out of the ECHR entirely which I fully believe is their plan, and they'll blame us for it to try and turn public opinion
That's what I'm afraid of. Trans people being held responsible for loss of human rights cos it was the only option they say. Very worrying times for everyone. Thanks for clarifying.
(A technicality that’s tangentially important in the defense is that Europe in this case includes the UK. The ECHR is not an EU institution. Although trying to ignore the ECHR would certainly put a stop to any further reconciliation or rejoining too.)
