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. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics...womens-rights/ |

Gender needs to be abolished from basically all legislature. Biological sex should be all that's acknowledged.

Personally I don't think that 16 year olds are old enough to know if they're Trans or not.

I agree with you on 18.
I know that it's only a couple of years difference, but at that age it does make a huge difference maturity wise.

They have nothing constructive to add, so they react with abuse and tantrums. Having meltdowns whilst calling others "snowflakes" and high fiveing. The irony would be funny if it wasn't so toxic and vicious.

None of them can have a proper debate, it's just constant vulgar abuse . There's alot of jumping on the bandwagon aswell. It takes a hardcore republican like Blaire White to actually talk common sense . She's a trans person who is against all this nonsense. I find myself agreeing with her alot ,and I'm left wing . |

When people think that they are so right and cant be wrong it leads to the extreme fringes of that group resorting to terror
and it starts with group-think name calling and slurs... |

Being trans-identifying isn't the same as having a same sex attraction. |

I think you know the difference here Liam, the issue is the medicalisation and being able to consent to putting yourself on that pathway that may leave you infertile, without sexual function and a host of other serious issues (early onset menopause, osteoporosis etc), comparing being gay which is who you are attracted to, to committing to transitioning are worlds a part, trying to act like they're similar is both disingenuous and quite frankly dangerous.

Ok, I took it to mean that they should wait until they are over 18 to be able to consent to putting themselves on a life long path of medicalisation and to really understand the consequences of that.

Liam don't be silly , that's not even the same thing.
Gay people do not go through gender reassignment, if they're just gay . Also dressing up a certain way is different , to actually taking puberty blockers & having medical surgery. Medically making & letting a child go through gender reassignment is wrong . Once it's been done that's it. Think of the consequences. |

It’s like people would rather young people be depressed, suicidal or dead than be trans and it’s a truly sad state of affairs to see the complete lack of compassion, empathy and understanding towards people that are already facing hardships just because of who they are

Gender argument aside ,how many of us truly knew what we wanted to be at 16 ? .
I understand 16 can be a bit of a grey area,as legally you can do a few things at age 16 ie have sex etc . I don't agree with that either. |
