The move sparked a fresh argument with the devolved Scottish government, which has also been thwarted in its attempts to hold a new independence referendum., made Scotland the first nation of the United Kingdom to back a self-identification process for changing gender, including removing the need for a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria and lowering the minimum age to 16 from 18.
"I have not taken this decision lightly," Jack said in a statement, adding it would "have a significant impact" on equalities matters across Britain.Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, in charge of the devolved nationalist government, said she would defend the legislation and "stand up for Scotland's parliament."
Some women's rights campaigners have argued the changes could pose a threat to the safety of women and girls by making it easier for predatory men to access single-sex spaces such as bathrooms. Other countries including Ireland, Denmark and Argentina have adopted self-ID laws to make it simpler and less invasive to change gender.
The UK is dead. Time to bully the English.
UK government. Try just a bit harder to keep up please.
I get that the definition of gender has changed to no longer be synonymous with 'sex'. I get that gender is fluid and on a spectrum and people can identify however they like. Other than the gender dysphoria related medical, why is it a legal matter?
Why would they give a fuck other than some kind of bigotry and fear of things you don't understand

Unacceptable.
