      Is the 2020/21 financial year really pre-pandemic? Surely by most metrics it had already kicked off by then?

    2. Oh noes, people will reproduce less and will adopt the children non-trans people abandoned. How horrible!!

      Oh man, wait till they see year-by-year the graph of kids that are left-handed…

      Seriously though, this is cool, there are about 700,000-1,000,000 new people in the UK per year, so we should expect something around 2000-5000 new applicants per year (subject to change as new data comes out). It’s nice to see that people are gradually feeling more empowered to live as themselves.

    4. Makes sense, I figured it out during Covid. I was unemployed but lucky to have enough money to live for a bit so I had a lot of free time during isolation. Forced me to look inwards 🤷‍♀️

      Is this possibly related to getting unemployment benefits that were sometimes higher than normal wages?

      I remember seeing a video a few years ago that talked about how fewer women were giving babies up for adoption because it turned out all they needed was slightly more financial support, and they could keep their children.

      Don’t recall how accurate her stuff was, it was an adoption trauma account and she was pretty popular but then at some point she made an inappropriate comment and she went offline.

      But she did show like, a link to a survey – that being said, I cannot recall who did the survey, how many were surveyed, anything about it.
