A left-wing politician in England has requested that her government amend the law to allow for alleged transgender people to have their official genders changed after they have died.

Charlotte Nichols, a Labour Party politician from Warrington North in England, called for a change in a written parliamentary question. The progressive asked if the U.K.'s Gender Recognition Act could be amended so that a person's legal gender could be changed after the person's death.

Her reasoning stems from the story of a murdered 16-year-old girl who Nichols claimed was not yet old enough to change her gender when she died.

"The genesis of the petition was the murder of my constituent Brianna Ghey, whose life was brutally cut short before she was old enough to have formal legal recognition of who she was and how she will be remembered by her family, friends, and our community," Nichols said, according to GB News.

This would allow "transgender people who are deceased to be legally remembered by the gender they lived by," the member of Parliament added.

The ruling Conservative Party abruptly said there were no plans to change the law and that the government can already assess whether a person had a "new gender" before death.

"Where a person was using their new gender with an organization prior to their death, and that was on their personal records, then we anticipate that the organization would engage with their family members using the new gender," said Equalities Minister Stuart Andrew.

Another member of Parliament, Sir Liam Fox, called the idea "patently absurd, factually inaccurate, and a statistical distortion."

"We should not be encouraging the idea that people can simply choose to change their biological status, nor should we bend truth to accommodate an ever more extreme and dangerous ideology," the MP for North Somerset, England, added.

Nichols, who has been pictured in U.K. Parliament sporting a leather jacket, has presented other ideas in reaction to the aforementioned teen girl's death.

Nichols suggested that the government prevent children under 16 from accessing social media by giving them specially designed phones:

"We'd like a law introduced so that there are mobile phones that are only suitable for under-16s," she said, according to the BBC. "So if you're over 16, you can have an adult phone, but then under the age of 16, you can have a children's phone, which will not have all of the social media apps that are out there now," Nichols added.

The 32-year-old also suggested that the technology should be linked to a parent's phone and claimed it has been "just not doable" for parents to track their kids' activity.

Joe Don Rooney, guitarist of Rascal Flatts fame, says he's 'not transitioning to be a woman'

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg?id=50996415&width=1245&height=700&coordinates=0,0,0,155 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//www.theblaze.com/media-library/image.jpg%3Fid%3D50996415%26width%3D1245%26height%3D700%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C0%2C155%22%7D" expand=1]

Guitarist Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts fame announced in a post on X that he is not pursuing a transgender transition and has never considered doing so.

"There have been so many rumors and opinions thrown around about me - but I'm finally healthy and ready for the world. And NO, I'm not transitioning to be a woman. That thought has never entered my mind. Nothing against the trans community whatsoever but I needed to set the record straight," Rooney noted in the social media post.

The musician — who is divorced, according to People — discussed his past as an alcoholic, noting that he had been a poor husband, father, and band member, but that he has now been sober for nearly 28 months.

"My life and career took a major detour at 4a in the early morning hours of Sep 9, 2021 when I ran square into a tree and about killed myself. I was drunk and I was so far gone with my life - I was completely out of control and finished with trying to fight the fears, depression and anxieties that had spun me out in a way I've never experienced before," he wrote.

"The pressures of my career and the many mistakes I made in regards to my home life, coupled with a lot of pain and trauma from my childhood and early on in my adult life, had become too much to bear. I was not a good father - I was not a good husband - and I was not a good band mate to my business partners. I probably would've never taken responsibility for any of this if it hadn't been for my car wreck on Sep 9, 2021," he wrote.

"Fortunately, (and I truly believe this,) God lead me into that tree safely enough to not kill me - and luckily nobody else was involved and I didn’t injure or kill anyone," he said. "That event lead me to treatment for my alcoholism for 4 months in the beautiful mountains of Utah."

"God intervened and helped me to get my life back. With the help of my family and so many other professional clinical advisors and now numerous new sober forever friends, I’ve been able to get the train back on the tracks and live without the burden of alcohol," he wrote.

Rascal Flatts had planned to do a farewell tour in 2020, but it was ultimately canceled.

Elon Musk calls out 'gender-affirming care for minors' as 'pure evil'

Billionaire business tycoon Elon Musk is continuing to speak out against permitting gender-transition measures to be performed on minors, declaring in a tweet that "'gender-affirming care for minors' is pure evil."

Musk made the comment in response to a tweet from Jordan Peterson, who had declared that the "phrase 'gender-affirming' care is a criminally evil lie."

\u201c@jordanbpeterson \u201cgender-affirming care for minors\u201d is pure evil\u201d
— Dr Jordan B Peterson (@Dr Jordan B Peterson) 1685886558

The term refers to measures such as surgeries, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers, which do almost the exact opposite of affirming an individual's immutable biological sex.

Musk indicated in a tweet last week that he intends to lobby to "criminalize" the performance of permanent gender-transition measures on kids prior to the age of consent.

"This is a major problem. I will be actively lobbying to criminalize making severe, irreversible changes to children below the age of consent. Shame on those who advocate this! It is utterly contemptible," he declared.

\u201c@TheRabbitHole84 @jimjimmiejames This is a major problem. I will be actively lobbying to criminalize making severe, irreversible changes to children below the age of consent. \n\nShame on those who advocate this! It is utterly contemptible.\u201d
— The Rabbit Hole (@The Rabbit Hole) 1685661825

In an April tweet, Musk said that he believes "we should wait until an individual is mature enough to make their own decisions before other adults make permanent, serious physical changes to them."

On Sunday, Musk responded to a Twitter account called The Rabbit Hole that had tweeted, "'Gender Affirming Care' is in the best of cases a euphemism for a paid yes-man to continually affirm delusions and in the worst of cases a euphemism for putting children on horrible drugs or outright child mutilation."

"It means castration," Musk replied.

Musk has said that he uses people's preferred pronouns as a matter of "good manners."

"I should note that I do personally use someone's preferred pronouns, just as I use someone's preferred name, simply from the standpoint of good manners," he tweeted.

Texas outlaws transgender surgeries, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones for children

[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8zMzc5Njk0MC9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY5MzM3MjcxNn0.UrHWGcqRi8axcprlTCuTjeQ3zAbHMJ36Mo_LXmS9Riw/img.jpg?width=1200&height=800&coordinates=0,0,0,35 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8zMzc5Njk0MC9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTY5MzM3MjcxNn0.UrHWGcqRi8axcprlTCuTjeQ3zAbHMJ36Mo_LXmS9Riw/img.jpg%3Fwidth%3D1200%26height%3D800%26coordinates%3D0%2C0%2C0%2C35%22%7D" expand=1]

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) signed a bill Friday banning transgender surgeries and related medical interventions for children.

The bill, SB14, prohibits providing certain children with procedures meant for gender transitioning and gender reassignment. It also prohibits using public money or public assistance for those procedures.

Prohibited procedures under Texas law are those "for the purpose of transitioning a child’s biological sex as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles of the child or affirming the child’s perception of the child’s sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child’s biological sex."

Banned drugs for transitioning include puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. Banned surgeries include castration, vasectomy, hysterectomy, oophorectormy, metoidioplasty, penectomy, mastectomy, phalloplasty, vaginoplasty, and surgeries that sterilize a child.

Exceptions to the law include children who began receiving non-surgical interventions before June 1 and children who have attended at least 12 counseling sessions six months ahead of receiving prescriptions.

The children to whom the exception applies "shall wean off the prescription drug over a period of time and in a manner that is safe and medically appropriate and that minimizes the risk of complications."

The bill becomes effective September 1. Health care providers violating it risk losing their licenses, CNN reported.

On signing the bill into law, Texas became the largest state in the country to enact legislation protecting children from the risky, controversial, life-altering procedures.

The American Civil Liberties Union pledged to file a lawsuit when the bill passed the Texas legislature in May, calling the life-altering procedures "medically necessary" for assuring transgender kids can "succeed in school" and "live authentically as themselves."

"We will be filing a lawsuit to protect transgender youth in Texas from being stripped of access to health care that keeps them healthy and alive," the ACLU said in a statement.

"Medically necessary health care is a critical part of helping transgender adolescents succeed in school, establish healthy relationships with their friends and family, and live authentically as themselves. We will defend the rights of transgender youth in court, just as we have done in other states engaging in this anti-science and discriminatory fear-mongering."
