JK Rowling has called Nicola Sturgeon a “destroyer of women’s rights” after a
Holyrood inquiry ridiculously approved plans to allow Scots to self-identify their legal
gender without medical proof.


MSPs have backed new legislation which would allow 16-year-olds to apply for a
Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) without a formal diagnosis of gender
dysphoria.

The plans also cut the time an individual has to live in their “acquired
gender” from two years to three months before making an application.

The Harry Potter author took to Twitter on Thursday to give her support to
hundreds of protesters from For Women Scotland who gathered outside
Holyrood to protest against the reforms.

Opponents said they were concerned “predatory males” would use the GRC reforms to “gain access” to women’s spaces.

They argued the Bill “contradicts aspects of the Equality Act” and erodes
“safety, privacy, dignity and opportunities for women”.

Critics also claimed 16-year-olds are too young to make such life-altering
decisions” that could lead to the use of “puberty blockers” and surgery.
