Medical Oversight vs DIY and Self-ID
Nicola Sturgeon is being disingenuous in suggesting that that reforming the Gender Recognition Act is not really controversial because the right to change sex under the law already exists.
Indeed it does, but the current process is led by medical oversight and not by the absurd notion that people should be able to declare themselves male or female, as they wish, via what amounts to a process of self-identification.
Medical Oversight vs Self-ID (December 28, 2021)
I'm not the world's biggest expert, but I know that women must be medically assessed to access a wide range health treatments issues including:
- HRT
- IVF
- Cesarian section
- Hysterectomy
- Breast reduction
So what sense does it make to argue that professional medical oversight is not required and that self-ID is all that's necessary for people to change their sex by law?
Medical Oversight and Changing Sex (December 17, 2021)
The majority of Scots agree there should be proper medical oversight of any person wishing change their sex by law.
Not surprising when you consider that women require a medical referral to terminate a pregnancy and also that medical oversight is built into proposed new laws on assisted dying.
