[SNP Minister Ash Regan was forced to
quit over her objection.]

[The bill means:

• The minimum age at which someone
can apply for a gender recognition
certificate (GRC) will be lowered to 16 from 18.
• There will no longer be a need for a
medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria in
order to receive a GRC.]

[However its passage in Holyrood doesn't
mean the bill could still face hold ups,
with the UK government already
suggesting it could block it
gaining Royal Assent.]

I honestly don't mean any malice towards the Trans community when I say this.

But 16 is too young, I think we've all held beliefs about ourselves at 16 that can completely change once your older.

Imo it should stay at 18 being the minimum.

It was discussed on Jeremy Vine .

I forgot her name...but a woman on the panel expressed her concerns for women's spaces, I bet she'll get labelled a 'terf' . She was treading so carefully with her words, but you just know....it makes no difference in this daffy duck world these days . She made some good points aswell.


And if you can't vote or drink at 16 , why on earth is it ok to change your gender instantly.

i have no problem with the age being 16, you are then an adult, can join the army and die for your country, i just have a problem with a woman putting women's safety at increased risk

Controversially I don't agree with 16 year olds joining the Army either.

For me I feel that 16 year olds shouldn't be allowed to do life altering stuff that they can't reverse if they regret their decision later on in life.

And hopefully women's safety won't be in danger, I honestly hope that's just scaremongering from the Media.

That's probably not as controversial as you think. Who's going to put a 16-year-old on front-line?

That is true tbf.

You just never know how people will respond though in 2022.

Yeah, screw them. Sometimes you’ve just got to say what you want to say and let people argue amongst themselves about how they want to react. But I can assure you that no-one’s going to bite your head off for pointing out that 16-year-olds are just a little too young to be on front line.

16 is not an adult ...you are still a minor in the eyes of the law , this is why here in the UK age of consent is a huge mess . I've never agreed with age of consent being 16 .

Age of consent should be 18 ,and technically to do grown up things in general it should be 18 & over .

And I know this will split opinion & be controversial, but you could even argue that 18 is still too young for gender reassignment. How many of us know what we wanted at 18 let alone 16 ??.

I still think the brain develops more after you reach 21 , and things could change. But I would prefer the age to be 18 than 16 .

Yes as above 21 as a bare minimum but realistically much later. To be honest... any adult who claims that they were they're even vaguely the same person at 30+ as they were at 21 is surely flat out lying.

Exactly
I know .. myself that I'm nowhere near the same ,as I was when I was 16-18 years old maturity wise . Even when I was 19- 21 ...I was not as mature or level headed as I am now ,and as adults we all still make mistakes . And we're all still learning.
