Scottish door to abuse?

A pro trans rights poster equating trans rights with disability rights

In the New Year, a major UK human rights body issued a stark warning to the Scottish Government, urging it to pause its plans to ‘reform’ the gender recognition process.

Scottish Ministers had been saying for a while that they were resolute in their intention to introduce the changes. But the Equality and Human Rights Commission said more consideration was needed. Concerns were raised about the societal impact of a rushed law.

Warnings ignored
