The UK government blocked a proposal from Scotland around reforming gender recognition certificates, causing shockwaves across the political spectrum. So what exactly was Scotland proposing? Why did Sunak block the bill? And why was this such a big deal?

As an outsider, it really strikes me as picking a fight for the purpose of having a distraction from how poorly things are going in Westminster. Then again, I might be misunderstanding the dynamics at play.

I think it's a pity that you didn't mention that while Westminster has had a long time to look at this, it's also had a less confrontational route to contest the Bill - namely Sections 32/33 of the Scotland Act, which asks the Supreme Court to rule on the competence of the Scottish parliament to pass the legislation. This could have been used at any time within the last 5 years, as well as right now. Instead, the Secretary of State for Scotland has gone straight to the nuclear option of Section 35, which hasn't helped keep the relationship between Westminster and Holyrood in any way cordial.

I think Sunak is just secretly pro-Scottish independence...

You would think that with the increasing support for Scottish independence, Westminster wouldn't want to make Scottland feel like it has even less of a voice, but I guess not.

As someone who lives outside of the UK, this was brilliantly explained

It’s quite incredible that of all the legislative issues, THIS is the hill the Conservatives are determined to die on. "We don’t know how to fix the mess caused by Brexit or how to reduce inflation, but God forbid we ever let a tiny portion of the population change their birth certificate!"

The conversation feels incomplete without discussing the horrific difficulty involved in getting a "diagnosis of Gender Dysphoria" in the UK. A recent video "I Emailed My Doctor 133 Times..." breaks down just how difficult getting GP's to provide care, referrals or even know/meet their basic legal duties when it comes to trans healthcare.
The decision to keep this requirement feels a lot more sinister when you account for that reality.

It would be so funny if THIS was the straw that breaks the unions back tbh.

Tories saying they care about women is the funniest thing ever because you know they dont, would sacrifice women right's for a meat pie

An Indian resulting in the partitioning of the UK would be the most hilarious event in the history of events.

The Tories being like "yeh, the ONLY reason we give people equal rights on paper is because it's hard in practice to actually make use of those rights, HOW DARE YOU MAKE IT EASIER TO ACTUALLY USE IT IN PRACTICE!???"

If the tories would really believe the bill violates reserved matters there is a standard procedure via section 32 NOT section 35 (b).
In that scenario the bill would go to the supreme court. Instead the tories overruled in an unprecedented way. Section 35 is an emergency break, hence it has never been used. It really seems like a throwback to direct rule.
Sunak is just desperetlly trying to hold his party together via some culturewar bullshit because that's one of the few things they agree on.
And oll that on the back of one of the most marginalzed groups in society.

"Uh... uh... uh... look! A distraction from all the evil crrp we've been doing since we got into power! Yup an evil bastard thing we are doing! What a distraction!" -a tory shot caller in reference to this legislation, probably

Nice to see a simple, clear explanation of what a GRC is, and more importantly, what it isn't - the reporting around this bill has been so sensationalized
457 |
The media: "everyone is outraged".
The public: "no we're not".

And the UK saying they don't want anyone to tell them what laws to implement and one second later England telling Scotland they cannot legislate this or that. I am looking forward to Scotland getting their independency, that will be fun to watch.

The influence this change would have on the "Equality" data would be statistically insignificant.
It's a red herring.
253 |
All their arguments sound like they're complaining it'll be hard to categorise people who get a GRC. Welcome to the real world, things rarely fit in neat, preconceived categories.

The part which reduces the time required to "live as the preferred gender" is a significant step forward. I know a number of transgender people, trans men and trans women, who are too afraid to present their preferred gender in public before taking HRT since they think they can't pass as their gender. One must understand transgender people's struggles to understand why making it easier to access HRT and easier to change their gender on legal documents is so critical.
In short, the new Scottish law is a big step forward-- it is supported by the supermajority of their parliament (88 for, 33 against, 4 abstained), it makes transgender people's lives easier, it doesn’t disrupt the so-called "single-gender spaces", it doesn’t impact equal pay, and it hurts no one. It's ridiculous that it is blocked, especially when Scotland is demanding more sovereignty.
And, I think I should mention this-- there is no magical spell in the world. If a predator wants to commit a crime, they can just walk into a bathroom. It is blatant transphobia to suggest trans women will hurt cis women in a bathroom. Also, imagine what chaos will follow if trans men are required to use women's bathrooms.

Oh the absolute irony of England doing to Scotland, exactly what it accused the EU of doing to England.
