They're also creating a constitutional crisis in Scotland, and brandishing Scottish Trans rights reform as the weapon. This is the first time they've tried to use powers to block Scottish democracy since the inception of the Scottish parliament. There's a lot of anger and fear here right now.
- tongin 4y agoThis is also the first time the Scottish parliament has passed a law that impacted on a reserved matter (i.e. one not devolved) though. In fact they were informed well in advance that this was likely to be the case but pressed ahead anyway, so this is almost certainly a deliberate ploy by Sturgeon to manufacture such a conflict. Particularly as this new law is overwhelmingly unpopular with the Scottish electorate, given how it may negatively affect women's rights, if it were implemented.

- locopati 4y agotrans rights and women's rights are not in conflict (except in the minds of people who are trying to create conflict). this law was about allowing an informed-consent model for name/gender-marker changes, which is the recommended approach for these things as it places the least burden on the people who need such a thing.
