Self ID and the SNP
For me, the worst aspect of Sturgeon’s Self ID plans is the impact on vulnerable young women, convinced by their government that changing sex is easy. My @TheScotsman column today is inspired by courage of @ImWatson91 https://t.co/F0vx8NFO8j

Susan Dalgety's excellent column for The Scotsman explains that Self ID is not a simple administrative change in the law, but a profound change which will allow biological males (ie men) to declare themselves to be women - without any safeguarding or medical oversight.
The Gender Recognition Reform bill is not a technical amendment. It is a major change in the law. And laws have consequences. That is their point after all. If MSPs pass this bill without major changes, they will be sending a clear message to Scotland’s children and young people.
