£140 is quite reasonable. And it may put off some of the scam artists. To put it into perspective , suppose you are UK born, have no Irish grandparent but have lived in Ireland for 5 years or longer and would like an Irish passport. No problem , you just have to collect a swathe of documents and pay 1100 euros. Before you buy the passport. Let's hope £140 doesn't turn out to be too reasonable in fact.

Most trans TRA have no interest in getting a GRA. Only a few thousand of them have ever been issued. The TRA just wanted the power trip of self ID. We've seen what they'd do with that in Canada with Yaniv.

Exactly. The bureaucratic issues themselves would out off a lot of people who wanted to play woman, whereas self-ID would have opened the floodgates.
